Searachable Archives Project Part 2

[Kurosen]

Old thread was getting unwieldy for me, so here we is.

You know the drill. We're building a database of searchable transcripts for nuklearpower.com. Basically, our own personal ohnorobot-like service. And I need your help! And by "help" I mean I need you to do all the hard work!

Okay! I totally lost track of who's still with us and who isn't. So, if you're interested in participating some more or for the first time, leave a post declaring your interest!

And if you previously de-volunteered yourself, let me know again in this topic.

How to format this thang

1. Create a .txt file and name it the number of the comic you're doing. So, Episode 001 would be 001.txt. Episode 023 would be 023.txt. And so on. Easy!

2. Open the file and get to work! Start by recording all the named characters. If you don't know the name of a character, just post in this topic with a link to the comic in question. If a character is unnamed, then you don't have to name him/her/it.

3. TYPE UP ALL THE DIALOG! Include non-dialog text you'll find on things like signs, banners, narration, graphs, etc. If/when you find typos, use correct spelling when you record it in the .txt file.

4. Don't worry about punctuation. Commas, periods, semi-colons, all that stuff, just skip it. Skip capitalization too if you like. DO include spaces between every word. You can record the dialog as one large block of text or put a line break between every line. Doesn't matter on my end, so what works best for you is what you should do.

5. DO NOT list which character is speaking which line. It doesn't matter. DO NOT write descriptions. They don't matter.

6. When you're done with all 20, put them into a .zip or .rar file and e-mail them to me at my nuklearpower.com address (http://www.nuklearpower.com/contact/).

Post any questions you may have.

[Kurosen]

Mirai, you said you sent 361 - 380 in the previous topic, but I can't find it. Methinks it was eaten by the internet. Please re-send.

[Eldezar]

Alright, I totally haven't been slacking. Not me, nuh-uh. Been hard at work at that 601-620, I have. You can bet yer spinach on that.

And now that that is cleared up, you will have no allusions, illusions or delusions that I may have been slacking when I ask questions like does this old guy (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/09/20/episode-601-possession-is-nine-tenths-of-the-law/) have a name, as I know he was in previous episodes, do the monsters (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/06/episode-608-teleporting-never-screws-anyone/) in (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/11/episode-610-logic/) the (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/13/episode-611-did-you-see-the-new-poof/) castle (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/29/episode-618-tough-love/) of ordeals have names, and what name do I call this (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/18/episode-613-mirror-master/) guy (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/22/episode-615-the-other-final-solution/).

[Mirai Gen]

Mirai, you said you sent 361 - 380 in the previous topic, but I can't find it. Methinks it was eaten by the internet. Please re-send.

Done. Accursed internet!

I'm in for a new batch too.

[malaguy]

I'm willing to do a new batch.

[tshadowdrag]

I read the first thread to get a good idea in how to do this and I'm willing to help if you need it. It'll give me something to do until I get a new job out here.

[Drownball-Champ]

I would like to help as well.

[Kurosen]

Eldezar: they don't have names. Black Mage's Doppelganger is called Doppelganger.

[Meister]

Reporting for duty.

[Tracaj]

I want to help too.

[Shadow Bunny]

You forgot to put "DONE" next to my batch (321-340).

Also, I'm ready for a second.

[Pip Boy]

Yeah, I got hit in the face with standardized tests a little after I signed up for this, so I was a bit busy what with the studying for my insignificant life. Thats all done now, though, so I should be back on to translating this cthulian writing of yours into text pretty soon.

[NMR]

Here and ready for a batch!

[Eldezar]

Sent in 601-620. Taking a break but sill do another one later this week or next week if they are not finished yet.

I was curious when reading this one. (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/20/episode-614-escalations/) I know it's funnier this way so that's how it was written, but did Black Mage ever actually know it was Onion Kid that he orphaned? Twice.

Also Grargh (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/10/11/episode-610-logic/)?

[Pip Boy]

Finally done with my batch, and ready for another. Just sent in 161-180.

Matoya is a ho.

[Eldezar]

Ok, I wanted to test the search function, and the last thing on my mind when I thought of this was 'ho' as I had just finished reading Megaman FTW's post, and found a problem.

If you enter 'ho' into the string search, it brings up many comics that do not have the single word 'ho' in it, but comics which have words that have a consecutive 'h' and 'o' within them. Example, Episode #001 has 'who' and 'how', and Episode #002 has 'hours' and 'hour'.

Now, it may not be a big deal, as I cannot think of any other words people would search for that is commonly found within other words. People don't normally search for just 'a' 'in' 'the' 'or' or 'an' or anything like that, but I can imagine one searching for something similar to 'ho' that has less of a pronounish/conjuctivative usage.

So, thought I might bring that up in case it seems pertinent to ya.

EDIT: Fun fact. Every episode contains either the word 'in' or a word that has a consecutive 'i' and 'n' within it. Prove me wrong and I'll buy you a milkshake.

SUPER EDIT: http://www.nuklearpower.com/page/14/?s=in&key=transcript Scroll down and you'll see the problem.

[Maxattack]

I'll take a set.

Yeah, I figured that out while testing the transcript function before release. It's not a big deal.

BUT I can't figure out why 194 displays that way in the search results field.

[Meister]

BUT I can't figure out why 194 displays that way in the search results field.
There's a closed square bracket after "Why do I even try to share my fabulous wit with you."

EDIT: Same problem in 332 and 333, by the way: link (http://www.nuklearpower.com/?s=%3E&key=transcript).

[Kurosen]

Fixed.

[Kurosen]

Assignments! Let's try to have these done by Saturday/Sunday.

PLEASE DON'T INCLUDE YOUR OWN NARRATION OR DESCRIPTIONS OF ANY KIND.

DO NOT INCLUDE BRACKETS OF ANY KIND: < > [ ] { }

DO NOT BOTHER LISTING THE EPISODE NAME OR NUMBER WITHIN THE TEXT FILE.

DO NOT BOTHER TELLING ME WHICH SECTION DETAILS CHARACTERS AND WHICH SECTION IS THE SCRIPT. JUST LIST THE CHARACTERS, HIT ENTER A COUPLE TIMES, AND THEN TYPE THE SCRIPT.

If you have any questions, just ask.

[Nuklear Waste]

I'm up for it.

EDIT: Also, what do you do about hyphens that form compound words? For example, "ta-da" in this episode (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/06/23/episode-861-in-the-family/). Would that be "ta-da", "tada", or "ta da"?

EDIT2: Also also, what about laughter like in this one (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/07/12/episode-869-the-best-medicine/)?

[Maxattack]

Do the mob boss and his assisstant have a name in 844? (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/05/10/episode-844-its-his-own-fault/)

[Kurosen]

Don't worry about hyphens, the search engine will ignore them.

Just call him mob boss.

[Drownball-Champ]

723 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/07/22/episode-723-under-the-sea/)

There are no characters shown in this episode, but it is obvious that BM and Fighter are talking at least half of it. Should I just list all 4 or none at all?

EDIT: Also we put ANY character with a name in the comic at the top, right? not just those that speak.

[Fenris]

Hey by the way Brian the blogosearch isn't bringing up any results (http://www.nuklearpower.com/?s=Charlie) for your damn furball.

[tshadowdrag]

Listing this here so you also have record of it of the only things I had trouble with (character names):

705, 706, 707, 709 the old woman with black mage I went with the name Ms. Elderly Lady that the guards spoke of during their conversation with Black Mage.

705 - The merchant I went with the name Cobblepot since that is what store black mage was in and by the signs.

710, 711, 712, 713 The guards are just listed as guards

717 The mayor is listed as mayor

719 The monster is listed as just monster

It's all sent for you. I hope that's how you like them.

Edit: I'd also like to point out they were pretty damn funny and I never read those ones before.

[Kurosen]

723 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/07/22/episode-723-under-the-sea/)

List all four and yes, list any character that appears.

Hey by the way Brian the blogosearch isn't bringing up any results (http://www.nuklearpower.com/?s=Charlie) for your damn furball.
I haven't added the old blog posts yet.

Listing this here so you also have record of it of the only things I had trouble with (character names)
Not necessary, but thanks.

[tshadowdrag]

No problem, if you like how those twenty are done, you can put me in for another when you need them.

[Shadow Bunny]

I haven't added the old blog posts yet.

Do you intend to? On one hand, I'm sure it'd be an enormous pain in the ass to do, but on the other hand they were occasionally fun to flip through while browsing the archives.


EDIT: Just did an assignment containing Onrac. Was the place as much of a hole in FF1 as it is in this comic, or is it the punching bag just for the hell of it?

[Drownball-Champ]

736 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/08/29/episode-736-60ft-darkvision/)

"arounwhydoesithavesevenmouths" <- this one word or seperate? looks like one in the comic it'll be one word until im told otherwise

EDIT: Whats the name of the squid leader in 737 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/08/31/episode-737-the-horror-in-the-shrine/).

[Kurosen]

Make it "around why does it have seven mouths".

The squid leader is Mrr'grt.

[Drownball-Champ]

I found it but thanks anyway. Would i do that with or without the '?

also i know you answered a question about hyphens already, but should something like air-sub be written "air sub" or "airsub"

Hyphen found (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/04/06/episode-013-the-dramatic-flashback/) if you search "two-fisted" it finds the comic, but two fisted and twofisted bring up nothing.

[Tracaj]

Which name do i use for the waterfiend? kraken, ur, jnn'efur or all of those?

and do i include () or just the text between them?

[Kurosen]

List it as airsub. List it as two, fisted, and two-fisted.

Kraken and Ur should suffice.

[Meister]

Saturday/Sunday probably won't happen, just as a heads-up. I'll do my best to complete mine in a timely fashion.

[Maxattack]

Mine are done, and I'd like another bundle of joy to go.

[Teddy]

I have time for another batch if you still need people

[Meister]

Just happened upon a few spelling errors in 041.

"mosnters", "stan" (stand), "then" (them)

[Tracaj]

I finished mine and can do another batch

[Kurosen]

Just happened upon a few spelling errors in 041.

"mosnters", "stan" (stand), "then" (them)
Fixed.

[Kurosen]

Here's a list of all the outstanding batches. If you're on the list but you did finish your batch, then I'm dumb and lost it somehow, so please resend it. If you're on this list and have NOT finished your batch, please find the time to do it. Obviously, real life stuff is more important than this -- worst case scenario is that someone else will be assigned your batch and boo hoo not a big deal.

[Meister]

Sent you 291-300. I didn't expect having quite so much other stuff to do. Fable 2 doesn't just play itself!

Feel free to reassign my other batch, my schedule's not getting any less cramped and I felt a bit of fatigue setting in during those ten.

[Mirai Gen]

Fable 2 doesn't just play itself!
Rent out a house and turn the game off and sure it does!


Ran my batch through Open Office to check for spelling errors and firing it off now.

[malaguy]

Real life occurred, sorry for the delay, but I should be able to get it in tomorrow.

[Shadow Bunny]

I'll take another batch

[Drownball-Champ]

Batch sent. Already asked for another in the email.

Man 740 was long. But the fact that i got to do 738 made up for it.

[tshadowdrag]

Good thing I checked back here, I sent it to both of your emails before on the contact page, I resent it again now to the nuklearpower one. I use a yahoo email and I'm starting to wonder if they ever show up?

[malaguy]

I apologize fore how long this batch is taking, but I will get it done. However, I will probably be too busy to get any more batches done in a reasonable time. Sorry :/

[Drownball-Champ]

Did you recieve my batch?

[waw]

I'm still working on it, unfortunately I'm being swamped with several papers to write. If i get free time this week to finish, i will. If you need to pass this on to someone else, I understand.

Apologies for the delay

[Nuklear Waste]

One thing I noticed: I searched "Kraken" and got 752 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/10/05/episode-752-its-all-fun-and-games-until-everything-dies/) as a result, but not 753 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/10/07/episode-753-day-of-the-tentacle/), when it should be the other way around.
