Are we rally that bad?

wtf is this?

Evolution RTS - no public version avaible LOL ops it was just hidden too good for me.
P.U.R.E. - costs money
Star Wars: Imperial Winter - no public version avaible
Expand and Exterminate - discontinued

how are you supposed to find other mods not listed there?

No idea why you're posting here, but it's a wiki, so you're free to change - I've changed the layout some, but I didn't change which games are listed (yet). I have had similiar thoughts though (but I reckoned it's a touchy subject, so I didn't want to mess with too many things at once)!

Certainly we could make a more comprehensive list including all kinds of games seperately - in the meantime, category Games shows you pretty much that (maybe we should link to that - ie for a full list of games go here).

Did you mean to start a new thread or was this just an example of trolling?

I'd say clicking the image should open the game's page, not the image's page.

[SeanHeron]

I'd say the same, but it's only possible with either a newer version of the Mediawiki, or a hack - check out Pure's image code (the template) for how to use the hack.

P.S. could we have a moderator split off from Knorke's post onwards into a new thread titled ie "Layout and content of the Game page" ? Thanks.
Edit: and having it in General discussion would be a bonus.

I'm used to simply do [link image]

[SeanHeron]

I just checked, and you're right, that works as well (for external images anyway, not sure about internal) - however you can't define the image size.
And I wasn't feeling like resizing all the images in use, some of which could do with replacing anyway. But of course I'd be happy to see the KP one fixed up in that manner :D!

No idea why you're posting here

i posted this because i thought the thread was about how spring could be made more newb-friendly.
if the newbs dont want to be stuck with Spring 1944 or Kernel Panic, which are at this moment the only listed games under download they will click on "Games."
Seeing how this page is not the best, its imo an important example of "yes, we are really that bad"

but it's a wiki, so you're free to change

maybe i'll
but everything i ever added to the wiki at least 100 years ago got lost or deleted somehow which was very gay, so yeah...

[SeanHeron]

If you're referring to http://springrts.com/wiki/FirsttimeEE, it's still around (probably just not linked anywhere). Of course if you'd done more and it had been deleted, then I wouldn't be able to see that...

I agree with the impression of "we're that bad", when you go even just to some of our top-level pages - and this is something I'm meaning to address. Seeing as this is not getting split off, I'll probably just start a new topic.

P.S. @Knorke: the title of the thread refers to Forum behaviour, not the presentation of Spring... reading about one post in might have told you that .
