Now that we've got formatting under control, we should start to focus on other things, like the weapon pages, map (guides for the defaults and info on how to make your own) and LUA info. We should nail down formats for those pages, then have others fill them in. I'm thinking about making a post on the forums asking for help in General Discussion and the map-making forums. Good idea? --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 19:14, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Is there any way to remove the border surrounding the weapon pictures on the class pages? It'd make the pages look much better. --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 18:16, 1 January 2008 (CST)

:Lol.  I just added that border.  Do you mean the weapons themself or the ones around the grenades where the images are gray?  If you mean for the grenades, then just wait until the new grenade images are up (it'll be soon), and if you just don't like the border, well, nyaa nyaa..    j/k.  Remove the border <style> tag from [[Template:Inline_Weapon]] --[[User:Phisionary|Phisionary]] 18:46, 1 January 2008 (CST)

I've been thinking about a map template. If we want to do anything with the map guides, we really need one. Anyways, I'm thinking it should be broken down like this:
 +
 
 +
'''Overview''' <br>
 +
Describe the map goals, etc.
 +
 
 +
'''Locations''' <br>
 +
Discuss and show pictures of important places such as capture points, where the flag is, key parts of your base, resupply areas, spawn rooms etc..
 +
 
 +
'''Entrances''' <br>
 +
Entrances into whatever location. Show alternate ones, etc.
 +
 
 +
'''Ammo''' <br>
 +
Show how much stuff are in backpacks in a certain area (Like in CZ2, show what's in spawn's backpacks and the ones at CP3).
 +
 
 +
'''Strategies''' <br>
 +
Discuss good strategies for the map. Have the forum members help with this one.
 +
 
 +
'''Ideal SG/Dispenser location''' <br>
 +
Describe good places to put SGs/dispensers with accompanying pictures.

Latest revision as of 17:08, 2 January 2008

I have the original, fullsize .tgas. You'll have to crop them again and make them transparent. I'll put them in a zip file and rapidshare them if you want. --Hirohito 19:19, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Thanks, that would be great. Or if they zip to less than 20 megs you could email them. My name at gmail.com --Phisionary 19:24, 28 December 2007 (CST)
Done. I'm also adding temp descriptions for weapons in the class pages, just so newbies know what each class has without using the comparison guide. --Hirohito 19:28, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Just as a heads up: I'm trying to purge developer-related comments on pages as that makes things make more sense. --Hirohito 22:18, 28 December 2007 (CST)


Make sure to update your Manual sidebar with my TF2 Player's Guide to FF guide. --Hirohito 22:01, 30 December 2007 (CST)


Regarding Pyro Jumps page: I think Pyro Jump sounds a little odd for a title. Pyro Jumps would probably be a better title. What do you think? --Agent Buckshot Moose

It does sound odd, but I think Jumps sounds odd too. Maybe if we changed all the 'jump' articles to jumping. Rocket Jumping, Grenade Jumping, Pyro Jumping? I dunno. It's fairly odd either way. --Phisionary 02:32, 31 December 2007 (CST)

I've added the sidebar manual template on every page I could find, so don't worry about it. --Hirohito 18:31, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Yes, I noticed that job being done... Awesome job, thanks. --Phisionary 18:32, 31 December 2007 (CST)
