Wiki needs updating!

[Damien Hart]

Looks great Zesty, Also I think you and Damien are right about the weapons, there really aren't enough of them to warrant the categories. I'm thinking we should group them by technology level. (IE. Neolithic, Modern, Advanced.) Also, Also, the images look great, I'm super glad they are fixed, do you guys think we should have the RimWorld logo on the front page? Or perhaps the planet background from the game? Just something to liven it up a little, nothing too busy though. The Wiki should be easy to read/navigate above all.

I mentioned earlier that I like the planet - it's the first thing you see when you start up RimWorld, so it seems fitting for it to be the first thing on the wiki too.

Event descriptions are done, have a read to make sure I didn't leave anything out. http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Events
Do you guys know the max explosion size for a power fault?

There's no mood page either, and I have no clue how to make one, so one of you will have to make one. Trade doesn't have a link on the main page either, and there was no edit button, so no idea what's up there.

Events page looks top notch man! I believe the max explosion size for the Power fault event is 15 squares at 90,000 energy stored. Mood is a pretty general concept... it may be a difficult page to write, I will give it some thought first and then make one if no on esle has by then.

Cool, I added that in. As far as mood goes, it mainly needs to touch on the effects of thoughts, traits, and the mental break threshold. I can write it, I just need to know how to make the new page.

The zones page - I think it would be more efficient to have all the zones explained on the one page rather than a half dozen little articles with 2 sentences each, what do you reckon?

I'm not sure, there used to be an Edit button on the main page but it's not there anymore, I think in light of some recent "events" Tynan disabled it. As far as the Zones page I agree, I only  made it that way because I was copy-pasting someone else's format. (Since I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Wiki code) I figured a basic page with some info, improperly formatted was better than no page with no info lol. Please feel free to make it nicer/more proper!

You can still edit the main page, you just need to be logged in with an autoconfirmed user.

Oh lol...that explains it. I forgot I'm on my girlfriends laptop and I wasn't signed into the Wiki. Duh... Lol.

Damien, I added a Mood page under Characters overview. (You can move it elsewhere if you like, seemed like a good spot to me) Feel free to fill it in as you see fit. To add a page like that you go to Edit then find this section for example:

[[Characters|Characters overview]]
:▪ [[Skills|Skills]]
:▪ [[Backstories|Backstories]]
:▪ [[Traits|Traits]]
:▪ [[Thoughts|Thoughts]]
:▪ [[Health|Health]]

Then I just added:

:▪ [[Mood|Mood]]

I believe : Adds drops it down one line, the ▪ inserts the bullet point, and the [["Blah blah"|"Blah blah"]] indicates the name/page to link to. Apologies if you knew this already, I'm just figuring this stuff out myself, thought I'd mention it on the off chance it'd help you out! Lol.

Yeah I actually just noticed that, guess I wasn't logged in when I looked earlier.

Edit: Mood and zones done.

No worries, I'm just figuring it out too, mostly through reverse engineering other pages.

nice work guys, Ty is there anywhere in the folders which has the sprites that can be uploaded to the wiki? Guns and pawns

[Tynan]

http://ludeon.com/downloads/RimWorldTextures.zip

Should get you going with all the textures for Alpha 6 (and a few for A7... )

[Fernbhoy]

spoiler alerts

cheers Ty

[Fernbhoy]

Weapons all have an image now.

And without spoiling, i'm hyped for Alpha 7 already

Hey, so on the weapons pages I see someone has hand-calculated DPS. While useful, it's kinda slow and error-prone calculating it by hand, and I dunno what formula is used. Instead of manually calculating it, we put in some wikia math into the template (thus calculating it for us).

What do you guys think of this formula for DPS? It's the best I could come up with:



Also thanks fernbhoy for adding all the weapon pictures.

Hah, yeah it's a little tricky to get working right.

By the way Tynan, could you enable TeX for the wiki? I think all you have to do is set $wgUseTeX = true; in the LocalSettings.php file (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula ). It'd be helpful for laying some stuff out, like I can't stuff like A \over B to without it:


In the meanwhile, I'll see how hard it is to get the mathstuffs working in the infobox.

[longbyte1]

I have no idea how to use TeX or LaTeX. It definitely looks useful though.

[Tynan]

Sure, I've added that line to LocalSettings. Hope it works!

[ZestyLemons]

I apologize to anyone using info boxes at the moment while I mess with the math, it'll be fixed and done soon.
