Encyclopedia Work

[Derin]

I would group the last four to: Game Commands and FAQ on the index page, and I would get rid of the caps on the Newbie FAQ page.

 

Otherwise it looks just great

[jamesvm]

Was going do that but you then has click once more and I had space to have all there . But want see what roja say about before go futher with it changes to it.

Sounds good.

But they're not going to fit all on one page, so how do you plan to do that?

rembmer how harvestion section before it was changes that how

 

also I had another idea maybe also convert encyclopedia and help file into html so that has use el client to look at help and encyclpedia stuff.(maybe i just use fed_penner website with modification to it)

I'm not for converting them to html. Instead I would propose to make them 'real' XML files (that is don't mix data and layout as it is done currently), which can easily be viewed in-game as well as with browsers (we only need to provide a xslt script to perform the transformation to html/pdf/postscript/rtf/tex whatever textbased format you want).

 

Else we would be in need to throw over board the current xml handling in the client and implement a new html handling instead.

Sounds like a good idea, if we can find any volunteers.

I talked with Wytter about this topic and we agreed that there's some work to be done in this field.

 

But other points are more important atm, that need to be done first. Imho we can come back to this topic, after we have solved most of the issues on the TODO's that are available.

 

I am able to provide some DTD or XSD files for all the different xml files we use by now. I can also provide a unified framework for xml file handling (currently we have several different techniques/functions used to read and handle all the different xml files, and each one is distinct from the other). I think we need one interface that should be used by either of encyclopedia/help system, config files and actors_defs to read and possibly write the xml data to and from files.

ok guys so tell simply terms what this mean for me

Perk page all those so short that feel to me that never going get any biggier so would be ok if i merge definated each perk together.What do yous think?

also note all info on change variable in el.ini will create html file and simply say in encyclopedia go to elinfo on change variable in el.ini

[Malaclypse]

ok guys so tell simply terms what this mean for me

Atm you don't need to worry about this, imo.

[jamesvm]

ok

[jamesvm]

for latest work download .rar at https://developer.berlios.de/patch/index.ph...2&group_id=1256

unzip in el director to replace old but do not use if are not use latest cvs client

[Malaclypse]

Huh, this patch seems not to work. When I click the view patch link, it wants to download the download.php script instead of viewing the patch As this doesn't happen to other patches on berlios, I assume there's something wrong with your patch. Maybe because you submitted a binary file (.rar), while source patches are always assumed to be text-only?

 

Can you (or someelse) check this?

[Grum]

Yeah, the patch system isn't very good with binary files, it only wants to send raw data to an application. James, could you send me a zip via email, and I'll put it up at http://grum.antiroot.homedns.org/ .
