Func_Msgboard: Quake Documentation Project

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/17 15:55:36

Quaketree brought up the idea that the community needs to rescue / dig out the information from this forum and other sources and store it in one accessible place.

Others chimed in and most agree that this place should be a wiki. Spirit has suggested Quaddicted, and I personally agree that it's the right place for such a project, but the Wiki over there seems to be limited. Others (Willem, me) have also volunteered to set up such a Wiki.

Let's discuss this idea further in this thread. I think it would be a fantastic thing to have a community Wiki for Quake level design.

UPDATE: there is now a URL: http://quakewiki.org/

If you allow me to move it to my server, I could give it a shot. We can set up mirroring to your machine for backup and archiving.

Also, I'd much prefer using mysql as the underlying DB.

mariadb is mysql but with extra features and fixes. it's essentially the same, you can even connect to it with mysql drivers.

Kind of surprised to see how many articles haven't been written.

so i just pasted the block comment for the quaked def because I'm a lazy bum!

When I Think Of Lazy Bum

I definitely think of Necros

Installed a Let's Encrypt certificate so the site is now available under https://quakewiki.org/

I need to remove that dependency on the external font, can't find where it is referenced though, stupid me.

I will force HTTPS later this year unless people give a valid reason not to. This will lock out some users: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication#No_support

#286 posted by Spirit on 2015/12/03 22:09:37

Font fixed, tell me if there are any other external URLs embedded so I can neuter them.

HTTPS seems kind of forced already, oh well, realistic testing.

Anyone up for some concentrated editing/structuring session on December 25th? I have no commitments that day. Alternatively some christmas coop?

#288 posted by Baker on 2015/12/19 20:37:56

So who thinks that Spirit will edit the wiki instead of playing coop?

Sorry, It's Actually The 26th Where I Am Free

#289 posted by Spirit on 2015/12/20 21:28:25

I will probably rather not do anything and eat lots of chocolate.

What's going on with the site? Getting 404

Was going to look up the toggle spawnflag and now I have to ask the scary ppl on this forum.

I made an entry this morning in command lines section. Will try and contribute regularly. I encourage more experienced members of func also help out - it's a great setup.
