Dear Modders, we are about to lose plenty of materials. Should we create a library?

Dear Modders,

Not so long ago the myFirst's site was gone. The next is ZumbieRus's google code library

I wonder, should we create some kind of a repository?

I actually started to collect some articles here 

Is anybody interested in a library (because I need help) ? ^_^

 

Please respond

The Goggle code shutdown is indeed very sad. However, I'm not sure if there's any feasible way to export that data somewhere else. The raw information is there in his Eclipse plugin, but alas the formatting is the real challenge.

yep, it needs tons of work, but it is quite general info so not high priority

 

Would it be useful to copy some articles from forum (guiding through particular process) to the library, what do you think?

 

i mean lists of modifiers, 3d modeling tuts, and other stuff (needs some diving into forum)...

 

cheers

I actually generate all that wiki content from my Eclipse plugin xml files. Theoretically I can generate anything from WIKI to HTML with links. It just requires coding on my part.

It's setup temporarily here for now:

I'm not sure if I plan to keep that domain around or not. Safe to say none of that content will be lost as I'll find a home for it one place or another.

Hi Zombie!

That's amazing, and if we add missed modifiers to this skeleton, we will actually save much time and nerves to every modder ^_^

So I would be glad to add it to the library, but we should make an agreement on syntax (convention on file & tags naming)

 

Deal? |-)

As said, those entries are generated... If someone edits those files I will likely overwrite them when I upload new changes. 

At this time there are no missing modifiers, however it will be updated after the next release which will apparently have some new stuff added.

i mean, in order to use it on site, is should be modified, like this:

 

Raw

Modified (file name: "Entity. Planet.txt")

isAsteroid [url[/modding/article/Type. Boolean]]

healthRegenRate [url[/modding/article/Type. Decimal]]

planetUpgradeDef

[lst]

  [*]path:Population

    [lst]

         [*]stageCount [url[/modding/article/Type. Number]]

            [lst]

               [*]stage

                 [lst]

                     [*]] price [url[/modding/article/Game Type. Cost]]               
                   
                     [*]] upgradeTime [url[/modding/article/Type. Decimal]]

                     [*]] maxPopulation [url[/modding/article/Type. Decimal]]

                 [/lst]

               [/*]

            [/lst]

         [/*]

    [/lst]

  [/*]

[/lst]

 

the file can be accessed via local link "/modding/article/Entity. Planet" on site for reference

 

Sorry for mistake, it really contains everything :)

There are some missing map validation entries though, last I checked. Mainly these, which I just started using in maps fairly recently.

asteroidCount 2
asteroid
maxRefineryCount 1
extractionRate 0.400000
refineryRate 0.600000
pos [ 10000.000000 0.000000 20000.000000 ]
type "ResourceAsteroidMetal"
asteroid
maxRefineryCount 2
extractionRate 0.400000
refineryRate 0.600000
pos [ 10000.000000 0.000000 -10000.000000 ]
type "ResourceAsteroidCrystal"
