Talk:The Sagittarian

The "throbtext" class javascript:

jQuery(function ($) {
	$(document).ready(function() {
		throb_out();
	});
});
function throb_out() {
	jQuery(function ($) {
		$('.throbtext').fadeTo(Math.random()*400,.5);
	})
	setTimeout(throb_in,400+Math.random()*200);	
}
function throb_in() {
	jQuery(function ($) {
		$('.throbtext').fadeTo(Math.random()*400,Math.min(.95,Math.random()+.5));
		setTimeout(throb_out,400+Math.random()*200);	
		//setTimeout(throb_out,1200);	
	})
}

Do we want to try to duplicate this on the wiki? --Club (#66669) (Talk) 17:48, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

• I would love to see it the same way in the wiki as it looks in the actual game, but are we allowed to mess about with JavaScript? --Yatsufusa (talk) 18:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I believe an admin could add this. I doubt very much regular editors can. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 19:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
    • How would I, as a wiki admin, go about adding this? I'll shoot an e-mail off I suppose.--Cannonfire40 (talk) 01:10, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

For historic accuracy: In the combat messages like "IT IS PARTY TIME." only the IT IS PARTY TIME part is blinking, same with "FEVER FEVER FEVER FEVER FEVER.": The quotation marks and the period remain unformatted. In his initial dialogue, the period and comma blink. (Sadly, I didn't get BE COOL and didn't check for DANCE, but I suspect all combat messages are formatted the same way.) --Yatsufusa (talk) 20:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

• As I noticed it, all text spoken in ALL CAPS and the two sentences before the antennae adjustment throbbed. To add the javascript to the wiki, I think an admin would add it to MediaWiki:Common.js, which is where the table sorting stuff is. Then <span class=throbtext>IT IS PARTY TIME</span> should activate it. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 05:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
  • This is probably quibbling, but if it was me, I'd modify the script like this:

if (wgPageName == "The_Sagittarian") {
	jQuery(function ($) {
		$(document).ready(function() {
			throb_out();
		});
	});
}
function throb_out() {
	jQuery(function ($) {
		$('.throbtext').fadeTo(Math.random()*400,.5);
	})
	setTimeout(throb_in,400+Math.random()*200);	
}
function throb_in() {
	jQuery(function ($) {
		$('.throbtext').fadeTo(Math.random()*400,Math.min(.95,Math.random()+.5));
		setTimeout(throb_out,400+Math.random()*200);	
	})
}

So that it doesn't run constantly in the background on every single page. --Vorzer (talk) 06:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

i made the change. i think. could someone who knows anything about this stuff test it? --Evilkolbot (talk) 11:59, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be working for me, bringing up wgPageName in the console says it is set to "Main_Page", which makes no sense. Perhaps the start could look like:

jQuery(function ($) {
	if ($(".throbtext").length > 0) {
		$(document).ready(function() {
			throb_out();
		});
	}
});

Which I think should work correctly. I think. Maybe. FractalP (talk) 12:47, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
