Yeah, you can't use wildcards. I actually used a special extension of the List Generator to make the batch files to rename my own sprites - here. It can generate all the lines you need for all Pokémon with forms if you choose to generate forms.

Yup, done that.



On occasion it does work, but then when I try to use it to rename, say, '201-*.png' to 'unown-*.png' it doesn't. Is it just that it can't use the wildcard in the results?

Is your command line working from the right directory? You need to cd your way into the folder with the sprites before you run the batch file, unless the batch file contains the full paths to all the files.

Hey Butterfree. How do you get the batch file to rename files? All my attempts produce errors. Namely 'the syntax of the command is incorrect' or 'the system cannot find the file specified'. The internet has had nothing to offer.



Why do I get the feeling I've asked before? Deja vue, I guess.

I think it's more that those are the most obvious types for a scorpion Pokémon. :P Now, if they made a Normal/Steel horse-cat-dog-Absol-thing, that would make me wonder.

I was just looking for a possible new sinnoh team when a I realized that Game Freak made a Poison/Bug scorpion that evolves into a Poison/Dark type scorpian. I really do think you're Satoshi Tajiri in disguise.

It's not exactly that I go through grouping permutations; it's more that I arrange the reigns and then go through the Pokémon one by one, placing them in whichever reign seems to fit best. If that reign is already full, I'll consider which of the Pokémon already there could most viably be moved and do so, possibly sparking a chain reaction of moving Pokémon from one reign to another. Then when I've gone through the whole list I go over it again, making last-minute switches to get the most solid whole picture I can.

How many Pokémon grouping permutations do you have to come up with before you get to one that fits the zodiac model?

Well, I got Victini, and I'm extremely good at the Pokemon Musicals when I use her (I called her 'Victorian'), but the game skips levels too fast for me, so I can only doo gym matches with my starter, Bacon the Tepig.

I don't know - the entire games seemed extremely easy to me.



Then, I suppose I did struggle with Caitlin's Gothilelle and Ghetsis..



And, no, I wasn't doing a solo four. I was doing a… Quartet run?

Shadow Techie

…..I hope I'm not the only one thinking that that was a drastic change of heart, in a very short amount of time….



Anyways, hows tricks with black/white, anyone? I personally think that the Elite four have an even bigger strength difference than the two previous generations.

…If changing the featured section really takes that amount of work to complete, than I suppose it's not necessary for you to spring to doing it. I'm glad to hear that you actually want the site to work as it should as well as adding new content, something that's been coming few and far between. I rescind my impatience but leave behind a feeling that probably others share of wanting more. I don't mean to sound entitled, but I do believe in a sense of professionalism: don't say that things are going to be a certain way or start a trend when they're not. That being said I understand the logistical problems you have with the featured section, splash page, etc. It's good that you have acolytes who claim to know/care more about the site than I do, enough to defend it against accusations that it might not be living up to its full potential. Thanks for responding and I hope your tech problems are cleared up in time.

"Fixing it" means a huge headache of installing a new version of ASP.NET on the server, re-moving all the code to a precompiled shared codebehind file and probably spending a few hours fixing the inevitable compatibility issues between these different versions of ASP.NET. I'm going to do it anyway, but not until sometime when I foresee having a few free hours with a good Internet connection and happen to feel like it.



Assuming you're the same person who was complaining about the splash the other day, what you don't seem to get is that there is a huge difference between wanting the site to work as it should and demanding it. I'm all for people wanting the site to return to full functionality as soon as possible (I'd rather prefer that myself), but coming here rudely ordering me to fix it already and acting indignant that I haven't, as if you're entitled to it simply for existing, is exceedingly irritating and very childish.



Moreover, I have every right to pick whatever the hell I want as the featured section on my own website and I can't even begin to imagine by what possible train of thought you can manage to be so offended by the fact I happen to be proud of my R/B/Y capture mechanics section (which, on an objective level, is very probably the most interesting thing on this entire website, considering it is information that is nowhere else on the entire Internet) that you're willing to make multiple posts here desperately demanding that I either randomize it or remove it altogether. Why in God's name is it so important to you that the featured section be random rather than hand-picked?

[21/03/2011 01:06:41]

Shadow Techie

Like, say, a randomized link.

Fixing the website can also mean that she's trying to keep it from slowing down in unnecessary amounts. It's much better to have an efficient, fast-moving website than one slowed down with small aesthetic tricks.

pron shellous alpha

well, what's she doing now that's so important she can't be bothered to fix her own website?

[20/03/2011 22:51:25]

Kevin

She's not offended that someone likes it, merely incredulous that someone would rather her take time to do that, as opposed to making new content, or something else useful.

[20/03/2011 21:02:58]

porn shellous alpha

I don't understand why you get so offended when somebody wants your site to actually work the way it sholud



Just fix it or take it off. No one plays R/B and needs to know capture mechanics. Good work on the zodiac
