You did most of the work - I just gave my copy/paste key a workout
I can do all those fixes you asked about, even the asterisk thing…might as well make it as consistant as possible so it’s no prob. I take it I should fix the Trial of Speed’s title too. Just give me a few more minutes with the pages and they should be spot on.
Luckily, the smart quote bull that Word pulls wasn’t a huge headache this time. For some reason, it mostly copied over well enough and I tried to spot the odd apostrophe or quote that didn’t. Otherwise, the elipses were more troublesome but were few - easily fixed
Oh and I did already PM Kyle about Tartara, as I noticed there wasn’t a thumb for her yet in the site’s files. He’s on it like a champ!
Massive thumbs-up, you are a legend Angie! I’ve got to go out shortly and have got a few bits to get ready, but tomorrow I’ll both amend this thread, and add the HTML files into each episode’s directory - then all we’ll need is MannyF’s screenshots from the corresponding episodes and all those pages will be complete, whoo-hoo!
I’ll also try and get some more episodes written up, it’s so much easier now I know that’s all I have to worry about!
Alrighty, Chris - corrections noted and uploaded. I did tweak your note on Mongor, so that the Tongue-A-Saurus is included in that special one-shot crowd
If there’s anything else you or somebody else spots, feel free to let me know.
Anyway, whenever you get another batch ready to go just upload them like last time and then either post a note here or PM me to let me know there’s eps in queue. Thanks!
Just a note that I’ve added Angie’s pages to the episode guide - you can access the links to these from the edited first post of this thread!
A couple of notes - I’ve left “The Crystal Queen” marked as “quotes awaiting” in the status listing, because of waiting for the illustration of Queen Tartara…
AWESOME!! Have just gone in to the page for the Crystal Queen and copy-and-pasted that thumbnail image into the relevent place - it seems to have worked great!
You guys are all legends, this project is rocking! Time for me to get my backside in gear and write up some more episodes, let’s keep this party going!
EDIT: LOL, Kyle you’re gonna kill me for this, but I’ve just noticed that the text underneath Queen Tartara’s name is actually spelt incorrectly, as “Queen Tarara” - so, missing the “T”! I hope you don’t mind me pointing that out, my friend!
I have a bunch more that I need to upload. I basically did an automatic batch for the episodes, so there are a lot of random screenshots…but I’m sure there are a dozen or so that you can use since there are at least 30 screens per episode to choose from. More soon.
Thanks Manny! These look pretty good - I’ve only had time to take a very cursory glance at these, but they look like beautiful quality images! Obviously the screenshots for “Exodus”, “The Unholy Alliance” and “Berbils” are already completed, but the rest of these will all come in very useful indeed. Many thanks, and keep up the great work!
When we get to the episode “Dimension Doom”, this image is going to rock the house:
Well, I believe the title card is present on the UK version of S1V1, so if that is indeed the case I can grab that image!
Just looking through the screengrabs now - as you rightly state, Manny, there are some duff ones, but also lots of good ones - here’s what is now the completed page (well, completed pending Fan Reviews) for “Mandora and the Pirates”!
Cool. Yeah I completed S1V1 so all those episodes should be up soon. I set the program to capture 100 screens per episode…Chris, do you think there is enough good screens per episode or should I set it to capture 200 screens per episode? Your call.
Hey Manny, I’ve been able to find enough shots from these, but it would possibly be helpful if you were to set it higher, to 200 screens or maybe even higher than that - the more the merrier! I can always delete the ones I don’t need once I’ve downloaded and sorted through them, and picking the best shots out is no problem, so, whilst what you’ve been doing is excellent, if it wouldn’t cause you a problem to amp up the program to grab 200 (or more) shots per episode, I’d say that would probably be a good move!
That’s outstanding to hear that S1V1 is completed, brilliant news! I need to pull my finger out and start writing up some more episodes for Angie to code!
Many thanks for all the great work, Manny, it’s excellent and very much appreciated!
EDIT: Just to add that I’ve updated this thread to show where the screenshots have been completed - I’ve picked out the ones I think are best and uploaded them to their own folders! For the two “Feliner” episodes, I’ll confess that I have mixed in a couple of exceptional shots that were in the selection Celesta grabbed - unfortunately (and I promise here I’m not being funny) the ones she did for those two episodes tended to focus too much on specific scenes rather than providing a good overview like the ones you’ve done, Manny, but there were a couple of amazing shots in there!
Aside from “Mandora and the Pirates”, which I’ve already linked to, here are the directories with the completed screengrabs:
“Dimension Doom” obviously needs its title card, which I’ll grab from the UK DVD set - I’ve made a small note in the updated status list to remind me that it needs doing, hopefully I should be able to get that done within the next few days, knock on wood!
I’m really, really pleased with how this is all going, thank you so much everyone for all your help!
Awesome job, Manny, thank you so much! Some of these episodes have already had their screenshots completed, but thanks to your hard work the pages for “All That Glitters” and “Spitting Image” are both complete!
Just to let you guys know that I have now completed the write-ups for:
“Safari Joe” “Return of the Driller” (had a great time writing this one, LOL!) “Turmagar the Tuska”
Angie: Shall I start uploading these to the same folder as the last lot, so that you can work your magic on them? I hope to get at least two more done within the next couple of days - please can you LMK if it would be OK to upload these for you to the same place as before? Many thanks!
Kyle: Please could I put in a request for an illustration of the character of Turmagar the Tuska? In my write-up of that episode I’ve used two quotes from him! Please can you LMK if this will be OK? Many thanks as always for all your help, my friend!
MannyF: How are those amazing screenshots coming, my friend? These are really making a big difference and time saving to me! I was wondering if I could really cheeky and ask whether you’d be able to prioritise the next batch you upload to include the following episodes:
“Lion-O’s Anointment First Day: The Trial of Strength”
“Mongor”
“Snarf Takes Up the Challenge”
“The Crystal Queen”
“Lion-O’s Anointment Second Day: The Trial of Speed”
“Safari Joe”
“Turmagar the Tuska”
“Dr. Dometone”
The reason why I say this is because we aren’t far off having the first 30 episodes completed, and at the present time we only have 10 of them “live” for folks to view on the site. If we could get the next 20 (so, up to episode 30) completed, I’d like to post an update to the site with those 20 episode pages, so that folks can see new stuff being added and that our Episode Guide isn’t dead. What do you think? Again, please can you LMK? Many thanks!
