<p>On a scale of 1 to Fuck Yeah, how badly do you want any one of the Cube Escape/Rusty Lake games redone in dither-punk?

<p>What tools did you use to get into the Roots file? I used the steps listed here, but I'm always looking for new/better tools.

<p>Just when I thought this game couldn't get more balls-out weird...
</p>
(Edited by NoneTheFewer)
<p>Hmm. I think for that, I'd do the new Inv template for the shell/shelf, then refer to it as "shell" for the rest of the game, and make a note of it in the Trivia/Bugs section of the page.
</p><p>So:
</p><p>
{{Inv|"shelf"|shell}}
</p>
<dl><dd> Switch the face to column 3, then click the mouth, to get the <span style="color: #2D89EF; border-bottom: 1px dotted grey; cursor: help;" title="shell">"shelf"</span> (shell).
</dd></dl><p>And then future iterations:
</p>
<dl><dd> Put the shell in the top left cabinet to get a can of oil.
</dd></dl><p>Honestly, could probably do this already for the erroneous-name objects: use the template to highlight the item by game-name and display the real name in parentheses, then just use the real name throughout. Still searchable, which is my goal here.
</p><p>(Alternative to everything: Write to the Rusty Lake folk and offer to copyedit their future games. >.> )

<p>(Goddamn wikia eating my replies, why.)
</p><p>I could add a parameter to the Inv template. Proposed:
</p><p>
{{Inv|matches}}
</p>
<dl><dd> <span style="color: #2D89EF;">matches</span>
</dd></dl><p>{{Inv|binocular|telescope}}
</p>
<dl><dd> <span style="color: #2D89EF; border-bottom: 1px dotted grey; cursor: help;" title="telescope">binocular</span> (telescope)
</dd></dl><p>Benefits:
</p>
- The template doesn't have to change too much, and the existing template usage doesn't have to be modified.
- It's visually clear, with the dotted line, that this is an item with some specialness to it.
- Putting the more accurate term in parentheses next to the game's term means it's searchable on the page. Yay SEO!
- It also means one can just use "binocular" for the rest of the walkthrough without fear.

<p>So there's an issue where the games will sometimes refer to items by incorrect names. The most recent example is in Seasons, where a telescope is referred to as a "binocular".
</p><p>On the one hand, I want to call things by their obvious names. On the other hand, these pages are supposed to help people play the games, and so the items should be referred to by their in-game names, even if they're wrong.
</p><p>I'm idly contemplating having something like this:
</p><p><span style="border-bottom: 1px dotted grey; cursor: help;" title="telescope">binocular</span>
</p><p>for the first occurrence of an item. (I'd use a template; I'm not daft.)
</p><p>Thoughts? Alternatives?

</p><p>Wait, shit, is it Rusty Lake Paradise or Rusty Lake: Paradise? Is the colon in the name or not? This is vitally important, people!

<p>Ugh, that sliding puzzle. I actually found some Java thing online that solves sliding puzzles just to get the most optimal path (I'm still not 100% convinced), and it's still a wretched pain in the ass. D:

<p>(a) I put the fonts in the Rusty Lake (Developer) page.
</p><p>(b) I inspected the 'Rusty Lake' text at the bottom of the rustylake.com page, then saw what font family it was using.

<p>✨ THE INTERNET ✨
</p><p>I got it off the rustylake.com site, I believe... ages ago. I'd have to check back.
</p><p>Given trends, I'm going to put through a request to officially change the name to rusty-lake.wikia. Aaany minute now.

<p>DONE
</p><p>I'll leave the poll up for one (1) week. Next Monday, April the Whateverth, I'll change or not the wiki. (I have the font downloaded, so no worries on that front. ? )
</p>
(Edited by NoneTheFewer)
<p>Not a bad idea, name-changing. I'll put a poll on the front page, get some traction on this.

<p>What sort of help are you looking for? For what it's worth, it looks fine to me.
