i hate how the wiki is laid out

04:19

is this the only way to get to the aled page?

sorry for complaining, i might suggest some edits to the wiki as a whole, i do think it could be improved.

What is aled?

Feel free to improve it

What is aled?

aled means help

chillerdragon https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/Aled

Aled is an advanced technique used to unfreeze tees across 1 tile freeze.

ew aled is missing videos

ew make them

hard

ew nobo

feelsbadman

feelsbadman

i can try later

do you guys need an aled for each of the setups?

11:19

or just 1 vid

best would be to get every type of aled you can think of

I think different setups in separate videos would help more

we got the aleds HYPERS

HYPERS

12:08

ill be sending the demos, and should i send rendered videos aswell?

either way is fine

ill send both to be sure, should i keep arrow presses?

We don't render them in our current videos, so probably not

6.83 MB

12:32

only demos rn, can redo any of them if requested

@bencie have you included aled toward up? Could considered an aled the synched vertical jump and hit?

yes there is a vertical one

12:44

yes both are in

12:44

copyaled and

12:44

vertical aled i think (edited)

12:44

is what theyre called

Looking good so far. Totally an improvement to not having videos at all. If you want to improve these demos, you could try to follow https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/How_to_contribute#How_to_create_a_video to create loopable and consistent videos for the wiki.

How to contribute

We encourage every kind of contribution. Here are a few examples what you could do:

Yeah sure, I'll probably redo all of them in a few hours, since I'm not home rn.

@Zwelf the template stuff looks good

13:43

css powa

Ty, selective copy pasta powa. https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/Draft:Main_Page

Draft:Main Page

.mw-parser-output .mainpage_row{display:flex;flex-direction:row;flex-flow:row wrap;justify-content:space-between;padding:0;margin:0 -5px 0 -5px}.mw-parser-output .mainpage_box{flex:1;margin:5px;min-width:210px;border:1px solid #CCC;padding:0 10px 10px 10px;box-shadow:0 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)}.mw-parser-output .mainpage_box h3{padding-right:0;pa...

13:47

Order and arrangement within the boxes still tbd

So I edited the Drag Part wiki a bit, you guys think it's good? or does it need more explaining greenthing

greenthing

(edited)

Will that be the new main page?

I think it's better, but it's too much text. Just seeing a list of several nested techniques is too much reading. I think it'd be better to have a general description of fly techniques, then list (in a pleasing way) all the different ones, then if you want to learn more you click the link.

17:22

I'll try to make a mockup perhaps.

Yeah thats the current draft of the next main page. It's still much work in progress (e.g. images for each link are planned, but still missing). And the arrangement of the boxes is WIP as well.

17:36

Another idea of a main page is to use a screenshot with all the elements clickable. E.g. two tees doing hammerfly -> link to the hammerfly page in that area. Would need a design/mockup too.

17:38

If you create a mockup, I'll be interested and might implement some of the ideas into the draft.

Mmk, certainly might. also should probably have all the block types on the wiki too

17:39

i think thats missing

Block types, like in the block mode? I think thats not main DDNet content, but rather mod content. It would be still appreciated (content for other mods like fng and zcatch as well)

17:41

Ah, or https://ddnet.tw/explain ?

yeah

17:41

i forgot that existed

I prefer not to duplicate too much. But linking it prominently (like better visible from the main page) might be really useful.

yeah that'd probably be good, i don't think it needs to be recreated per say

17:43

but maybe a small page for all the common blocks would be good for players who don't know what the most common ones even are

17:43

though if they have any experience with the game i guess they would idk

@Zwelf is there a reason why u made the main page a template?

18:00

i think its not good

18:00

if u wanted to add styles that can be used on normal pages its possible to do so

18:01

@Zwelf add ur styles here https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css

MediaWiki:Common.css

/* CSS placed here will be applied to all skins */

18:01

if they are under a class its not a problem

18:01

templates are meant for reusable components not whole pages

Mainly because mediawiki.org does the same. It makes switching to the new version easier.

oh they do? xd

18:02

but the problem is new ppl will have a harder time editing

18:02

cuz t hey dont know what a template is

But yeah, can just copy the content of the template to the main page in the end

18:04

They protected the main page, so not a problem for them ^^

btw you forgot to link Frequently Asked Questions to FAQ

18:05

https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/FAQ

Here you can find a collection of frequently asked questions.

18:06

i wouldnt copy much mediawiki but more other game wikis

18:07

a excelent one is https://wiki.factorio.com/

18:07

and if u wanna go to god level you have https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Terraria_Wiki

Yeah, looking at those wikis too. But wikimedia.org had the easiest to implement.

yeah any is better than ours at this moment xD

19:57

maybe something like this

19:58

flying techniques would be its own page, which the main page links to

cute drawing

Added some graphics to Game mechanics: https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/Template:Main_page

better, but i think they should be a solid color, like black

21:58

so they all look similar

I am using them from the game layer now. So they look less transparent. Adding a border to the tiles would be possible or adding a background color to the entities layer.
