User talk:Furrykef

I was thinking it would be helpful to show/hide furigana for templates with reading. This way, you could by default hide furigana and only show them if you are unsure about the reading. This site [1] seems to have an easy way of adding hide/show, but it requires a change to Common.js which I do not have access to. Or pehaps it is already possible and I do not know how? What do you think? Blutorange 19:50, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I've had that idea too. I might get around to it soon, but I've been extremely busy lately... - furrykef (Talk at me) 14:04, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hymmnos-Reading

Did you have the Hymmnos font installed (see link at template)? It should look like this: Or do you think displaying the original script is not a good idea? Blutorange 09:23, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. - furrykef (Talk at me) 09:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Voice Clips

Do you know how the legal situation is with uploading voice clips from games here and would you even want that (server costs, ...)? Blutorange 09:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Voice clips are fine with me, though it'd certainly be easier to avoid legal trouble with older games than with ones that have just come out. I'd really love to get the clips from Star Fox 64, for instance, but, alas, I have almost no idea how to rip them. - furrykef (Talk at me) 09:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

It's possible without "hard ripping" http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G5PRJ0GG :) Although it requires triggering each voice you want to record in-game... If the voice clips are to be hosted on the wiki, you will need to allow an audio format for file uploading on the wiki (currently only images are allowed). For playing the audio, the easiest way would be too use <embedded> html syntax, or perhaps implement an audio player plugin on the wiki...? Blutorange 14:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I've added html rendering to my script and the result looks like this: http://img706.imageshack.us/f/japaneseexample.png/ . The voice clips are implemented with a few lines of javascript, the onmouse-furigana simply use the tag. Implementing this in the wiki should be easy. I think this is the tidiest of of showing the readings, and it also forces you to try to remember how the kanji. Optionally, it would be easy to add some button to trigger showing only kana (and kanji on mouseover?).

The javascript for supporting voice is this:

function DHTMLSound(surl) {
     document.getElementById("dummyspan").innerHTML=
     "<embed src=\'"+surl+"\' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
     }

This works much better than <embed> and doesn't crash the browser.

You would then use it like this:

<span id=dummyspan></span>
     <form>
     <input type="button" value="Voice" onClick="DHTMLSound(\'' .. voicefile .. '\')">
     </form>

Move the mouse over this text.
