Small correction
You have 0.6.8 as your xorg version, and I assume you mean 6.8.0? Also, is this the proper place for such comments?
--Surye 10:18, 6 Jan 2005 (CET)
Yes, you're right, it should be 6.8.0, thanks for notifying me. And yes again, this is the right place for these kind of comments.

3D Gamers URLs
Omega, please do not use URLs to specific file versions on the 3D Gamer site - instead make them more generic by just using [http://3dgamers.com/games/GameNameHere/downloads/]. Everytime 3D gamers reorganise something, put a new demo/patch version online etc, the specific URL breaks and/or points to an outdated version - thus making a fix in the wiki nec.
The more general URL is always right, and enables the user to see what versions are available at a glance.
For now, I reverted (and thus fixed) the [[Painkiller] page :)
Tels 13:48, 30 Jan 2005 (CET)
Yes, I noticed that. And you are right. I'll do it like that from now on. Feel free to fix all the games starting with A or B. Since I did it all the same for those. ;-)
Omega 14:31, 30 Jan 2005 (CET)
Will do, but not today :)

About new game tables
Just saw that in Diggles:_The_Myth_of_Fenris the new table uses HTML syntax. I think this is a big step backwards from the wiki syntax. Can we change that back please? :-D

What's wrong with HTML syntax?

kbd tag isn't working
I just noticed that the kbd tag isn't working. I'm fairly certain this was caused at the same time as the software upgrade. I'm not quite sure how to fix this, so I'm bringing it to your attention.
Evilmrhenry 11:47, 26 Jun 2005 (CEST)
The list of accepted tags is hardcoded in the source code of the wiki software (e.g. Parser.php) - each upgrade removes your custom tags. Been there, done that, got no t-shirt :-/ The only solution is that Omega adds the tags back or to use templates for such things (albeit custom tags are sometimes much easier to type :-).
Hopefully in the near future the wiki software will allow to modify these things so that they survive a software upgrade (which seems to be nec. every 4 weeks due to the fast working Mediawiki developers :)

I just noticed this message and fixed it.
The kbd tag is working again

I just noticed a similar problem with the samp tag: http://digital-conquest.ath.cx/wiki/index.php/Myst_III:_Exile

Quick-Links on Games page not working
Seems the wiki-update also broke the links to the individual sections on the Category:Games page :/
Tels 22:41, 6 Jul 2005 (CEST)
Seems to be working over here. Could you clarify that a bit, please?
Evilmrhenry 10:21, 7 Jul 2005 (CEST)
I am talking about the alphabetical list shortcuts, aka:
http://digital-conquest.ath.cx/wiki/index.php/Category:Games#M
These do no longer work, probably since the new wiki versions rewrote the code (f.i., I now only see the first 200 entries, the next 200 are on the "next page").
Btw, this is exactly the reason why I introduced the Category:Series page, and I would like to trim the Category:Games page a bit by having it only contain one entry per "series".
Ah those. A quick search whows a bugzilla entry on that subject: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243 This looks like a one-line adjustment to the php source code. (The problem is finding the line in question.)
As for the multi-page part, I don't think using series would help enough. Maybe by first letter?
Evilmrhenry 09:54, 9 Jul 2005 (CEST)
Yeah, he's talking about the Alphabetical Index, which does not work. Sadly, i've yet to find a fix for this seeing as the old code that I used doesn't seem to work anymore.
The code is in line 290 of includes/CategoryPage.php
function shortList( $articles, $articles_start_char ) {
$r = '<h3>'.$articles_start_char[0]."</h3>\n";
$r .= '<ul><li>'.$articles[0].'</li>';
for ($index = 1; $index < count($articles); $index++ )
{
if ($articles_start_char[$index] != $articles_start_char[$index - 1])
{
$r .= "</ul><h3 id=\"{$articles_start_char[$index]}\">{$articles_start_char[$index]}</h3>\n<ul>";
}
$r .= "<li>{$articles[$index]}</li>";
}
$r .= '</ul>';
return $r;
}
As you can see, I hacked the code to add an id which is used to create anchors of any h3 elements on the category page. For some reason it stopped working now. No id is assigned. Maybe it will work in a future version. I guess we'll have to live without it for a few releases. =/

Random ramblings
From Unofficial TransGaming Wiki
What do you mean... TGZ packages are NOT tested... they even SAY so in the download section!
You know why TG doesn't add its "hacks" in cvs... they want to encourage us to buy... they even SAY so.... In fact even YOU suggested that people buy Cedega. Why would they leave out crucial aspects if they don't want us to buy... it is how corporate minds work and that is GOOD for the company.
If ALL premium servers weren't helping the subscribers... people would actually be able to get the CVS version... I'm a subscriber and even I can't CVS version.
I'm right to say Population(Subscribers) > Population(CVS users)
And are you telling me that the binary verison gives acces to the source? Only if reverse compiled and that is against the agreement.
-- My edists seemed harsh... but they make the most sense and they are correct if you think about it. But I'm not degrading TG... I love the company for giving me my beloved copy of Cedega. However, I want truth to circulate and not the lies of people worshipping TG in the cult called "Forums."

I emailed you, but didn't get a response. All of the wiki images on this site are broken. This appears to be a permissions issue. More details in the email.
Evilmrhenry 10:44, 19 Aug 2005 (CEST)
Sorry about that, I guess my spam filter got your mail, I recently re-installed. Should be fixed now.
