Despite the surname, I am in no way related to the (far more illustrious) Doom community members The Green Herring or NiGHTMARE. After all, this is one of the most common surnames in English-speaking societies.

I have cleansed my page of discussion of the /July 2012 vandalism episode: follow the link to read it (not recommended, BTW).

Related Videos ModuleEdit

Hi, my name is Nic and I'm a member of the Wikia Content Development Team. As you may have seen on many wikis such as Call of Duty, there is a new module for the right hand column that displays related videos to the Wiki. This is a new feature that we want to place on your wiki, would you be cool with allowing this? - Wagnike2 (talk) 18:02, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

RE: VegaDark Edit

I saw your post in the admin forum about VegaDark and just wanted to let you know that this isn't the first time he's been a vandal himself.

He deleted a valid article on the Saints Row Wiki after it was vandalised, because he was too lazy to check the contents of the page from before it was vandalised. I would link you to his talk page where I confronted him, but it appears that he has erased the conversation to cover up his actions.

I think VegaDark is either too irresponsible or too incompetent to hold the position he does. -452 05:53, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Your action on the morning of 5 November (British time) Edit

Hello RobertATfm, as you are aware i'am the founder of "The World Of Cars Drive In" Wikia and i have not been on the Wikia for along time. The main reason was because i had a lot of things going on with my personal life. I was not aware my wikia was vandalized until a few days ago, that was why today i was planning to deleted any unneeded pages and fixed up each page with correct information. However when viewing the Characters page i found several had been deleted pages; exmaple Admiral Kittyhawk, C-Tuners Pitties and The Dispatcher.

I was very frustrated because it took me along time creating each and every page; i put a lot of dedication in this Wikia. I found a user, RodRedlineM1 deleted page these pages claiming it "Non-canon" and i had plan to block him up to 2 weeks. I was very surprised to find that i had been blocked a few hours later, i was also surprised that three people adopted the wikia and that someone actually cared about my "work".

If you unblock me i will apologize to RodRedlineM1. Originally i mistaken RodRedlineM1 as a "spammer", clearly he wasn't. However what i don't understand is that you would block me for a month without giving me a strike or having anytime to reply. Clearly you didn't think at first to give me a warning, i was not aware of the changes until now! I didn't "abuse my power" it was a misunderstanding. ☆Madbomberfan

TNT MAP31 issuesEdit

Hello, RobertATfm!

How are you, man? I have a small doubt concerning file Zandronum and TNT: Evilution: I play Doom via port Zandronum version 1.0 r-120819-2011 under Windows 7, and have all 4 "pillar" series wads (Doom, Doom2, Plutonia and TNT). Regarding the yellow key bug in MAP31: Pharaoh, I downloaded the pwad directly from TeamTNT website and now in my "wads" folder I have both the original and fixed files (under names "TNT" and "TNT31FIX" respectively). But everytime I run Zandronum, the TNT wad shown in the program's list is the unfixed (named "TNT")version, and I'd like to know how to force the program to run the fixed (named "TNT31FIX") version - I mean, by clicking directly on the Zandronum executable, not clicking on the wad file or dragging it into the Zandronum list. Is there any trick, parameter line or anything similar to end this problem?

I'm not familiar with Zandronum, but with ZDoom what works is to drag and drop TNT31FIX.WAD onto the ZDoom icon, and then when ZDoom starts and gives the list of IWAD files it's found, select TNT.WAD as the one to use. Presumably something of the kind will work in Zandronum; the thing to remember is that TNT31FIX is just a PWAD, containing MAP31 only, so you still need TNT.WAD in order to run it. — RobertATfm (talk) 01:20, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Actually, this method of drag-and-drop also works with Zandronum! Your tip was good, but still didn't solve my problem... if I run Zandronum directly and choose "TNT" from the list, the program still runs the unfixed version of the wad, without applying the patch, even if I have both files in my folder. So, my question is: how to force Zandronum to "automatically" apply the pwad everytime I choose to play TNT without having to manually "pick up" and drop the pwad into the program list? Or even better, where can I learn to use any WAD editor myself to edit the file "TNT.wad" and correct the bad flag without ruining or corrupting the original file?

This was not opinion-based. Please look at http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_level for more information. Edit

This has happened to me before with the opinion-based misunderstanding when it was not opinion-based, please look at http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_level for more information.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.44.85.42 (talkcontribs) 00:52, February 25, 2013‎ (UTC).

As the most recent edit to the linked page was 18 months ago, and I for one have never edited or taken any other action regarding the page in question, I have no idea what this anonymous poster is on about. I can only wonder whether he has any such idea. — RobertATfm (talk) 21:47, February 25, 2013 (UTC)
