Feeling Wiki-ee Today

Post by SinbadEV »

So I've decided that I have been spending too much of my free time posting on these here forums and have not been doing anything productive for the community in a LONG time so I decided to create a new wiki page to clear up some of the common misconceptions that surround Spring... this is basic stuff that pretty much every long-term Springer knows intrinsically while completely baffling and frightening newbs.

Stage one is what I'm calling "FAQ:Content" and it essentially should give a basic run down of "WTF, HOW I MOD!!?" so that we can easily link newbs with "RTFM N00B!!!"...

feel free to poke it now that my lunch break is over.

I salute you. However, if you want to be really awesome, you could redo the Wikipedia entry on Sprign RTS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_%28game_engine%29

It was marked for deletion by some faggy admin peoples so I guess it could use a redo anyway.

Sigh, nevermind, someone took it upon themselves to fix it in the past few months it seems.

Edit: Oh for fucks sake - http://springrts.com/wiki/FAQ:content << notice that that isn't the same as what sinbad posted.

oh bugger all... I hate that wiki's are case sensitive... I'm not sure what to do about the two pages... when I get mine the way I want I'll either rename it of merge the old data and put in a redirect.

edit: also, seriously... while I understand that FAQ questions don't necessarily need to be asked frequently... but the ones on that page are very uncommon questions... maybe we need an UAQ (uncommonly asked question)

Screenshot of what Opera 10.10 gives:

In first part text (aaa) comes in directly, lines dont connect (is what you have now)
Second part no text, lines connect (but no text olol)
Third part ENTERPRISE SOLUTION COMBINES BEST OF BOTH BY CONVERTING TEXT TO IMAGE (this solves it but you look like an idiot for pasting text as images)

might as well post this

You didnt work it into the parent pages correctly.

Someones actually gone into the FAQ page and its parent page and messed it up. The FAQ page ahs 4 subpages listed, yet its parent page has been edited to contain a submenu that looks out of place and has 5 not 4 entries.
