Re: White background
Sorry about that, I really have no idea how to do this really. My editing program, Paint.NET doesn't seem to support transparency much. Either that or I have no idea how. I apologize for this. Illiterate Bilingual 16:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It's cool. I use Paint.net too. What you need to do is select around the object (in your case, the cores) and just delete the white areas so that it's a gray-checkerboard pattern. That's the transparency. Sven 22:02, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll try to do this properly when I've practiced it on other things. Thanks for the tip. Illiterate Bilingual 05:47, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Portal 2 - Educational Version

How is the copyright of our uploaded pictures handled?
It appears that Combine OverBitchi ( http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Contraption_Cube ) ripped our screenshot and used it for their content. Is this legal? Because I hate that wiki for personal reasons and don't like the thought of me delivering HQ images to them. LambdaCore 21 (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That.... I don't know. I don't like that idea, either. ~Sven~ (talk) 03:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Our content is licensed under CC unported license which allows copying as long as there is attribution (i.e. the file page should link to pwiki). Combine Overwiki's license (CC unported sharealike) requires that sites copying their content also need to have a sharealike clause in their license. Pwiki doesn't have such a clause so content from Combine Overwiki cannot be imported here. — Wind 06:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Shall I remove my custom portal gun skin for a video walkthough ?
Dear Sven,

I would like to do the video walkthrough of Portal: Prelude, but I applied my own custom portal gun skin. Shall I remove it, or can I keep it with a note above each video saying This portal gun skin has been customized by the video owner ?

Waiting for an answer, Xorven (talk) 22:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey Xorven, for the sake of consistency, I'd prefer it if you didn't have any custom skins applied during the playthrough. Also (and I promise this isn't a stab at you, given your record-breaking skills), please keep it simple. The point should be to show the player how to complete the puzzle, not how fast it can be done. If you feel like you're up to it, I'll try to get in contact with the other mods and see if we can get your playthrough uploaded onto thePortalWiki's official Youtube Channel when it's done. To be fair though, I'm not sure if they'd prefer a recorded video or demo files. I'll find out. ~Sven~ (talk)

Ok I will try to remove the skin during the playthrough. Of course I know a video playthrough must be simple to focus and understand. I had just the idea to upload this playthrough on a private YouTube playlist, containing each private video. So, should I start to record the playthrough by now, or I am waiting for your decision ? To be honest, I don't know a lot about demos (I just know how to start and stop a demo...) Yours sincerely, Xorven (talk) 23:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Demos really only need be considered if the player can't record their gameplay in high-enough quality to warrant uploading (like myself); you on the other hand shouldn't have that problem. Go ahead and get started with your playthrough if you want. I really appreciate you volunteering to do this out of the blue. We don't get a lot of activity on the wiki anymore. ~Sven~ (talk)

Yes, I record in 1080p 60fps. I have made the playthrough from chamber 00 to 13. I'll upload them on YouTube tomorrow, and then I send you the playlist link to check it ! It is a pleasure to fill this wiki. The Portal series universe is my favourite from really far away, and I especially love Portal: Prelude so I decided to create pages about that. I want to help people about this mod because, in the general opinion, it is hard. Because I find it not hard at all, I would like to share my knowledge about Prelude to newcomers in order to give them pleasure while playing this mod. Xorven (talk) 00:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the highly repeated message
It is due to the Gateway error, I am sorry. I removed all the duplicatas. Xorven (talk) 23:17, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's fine. ~Sven~ (talk) 23:20, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Portal: Prelude playthrough playlist link
Here it is ! I could add the next chambers later in this playthrough. It is fine or not then ? :) Xorven (talk) 14:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I watched the first 5 or so of them yesterday before work. Aside from throwing the stuff around in the intro, it looks good. I need to take a break from the wiki for the rest of the afternoon today to work on some schoolwork but hopefully tonight I can finish watching the rest of your videos. The look good based on what I've seen so far though. But man I wish they could've sprung for some voice actors in that mod... ~Sven~ (talk) 16:41, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

About this, the main developper said he didn't have the stuff to act voice lines, how sad... But in fact, I don't care about this x) Xorven (talk) 21:01, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello again,

Sorry for the waiting, my PC was dead during few weeks. I have finished the video walkthrough. Please note in the 20 and the 22 that there are for each a ugly cut, and that's normal. For 20 I cut the loading screen, and for 22 I cut a crashing issue impossible to avoid (really impossible), but I think the walkthrough is correct. Can I put them on the pages now or do you want to transfer them in the Portal Wiki channel before ?

 * Yeah... I guess it slipped my mind that we do have bots to push that sort of thing into place for us. Been a while (minus the last week of course). Nice to be back. Here, right? ~Sven~ (talk) 15:49, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ya, here's something Category:Marked_for_deletion, can you clean up this a little bit? — The preceding assigned comment was added by Tark {Finish Him! ▪ Contribs} 15:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

RE: Image Quality/Formatting
Thank you for the Image Notice. I just wan't to clear this out Thank you ~SW50000~ (talk) 8:08 PM July 2016 (Central Time Zone)
 * 1. Thanks for the note of the crosshair I didn't see it the first time
 * 2. The Reason I didn't noclip in the screenshot was the fact the level was moving.
 * You're welcome. Again, I don't want you to take it as anything negative, I just wanted to point it out to you. Anyway, I think I may have found a work around for the moving issue. Use  and   to get into position. Then, use   to basically freeze time. You'll still be able to rotate the camera but movement will be almost non-existent. Hope that helps! ~Sven~ (talk) 01:41, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

*message drop*
I'm making a note here. — Wind 06:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Huge success. I wanted at least say that I wasn't just avoiding the place. I care about the wiki. It upsets me that I'm not more active but I'll try to be available if anyone needs me. Hopefully I can get some stuff sorted out and get back on top of things here, and maybe even get some projects off the ground over on the TF2 Wiki. ~Sven~ (talk) 15:30, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
