Grid 12 Wiki

[Stabbeh]

Added the changelog for build 49

[Ood]

Well, with the data release here:
grid12.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=192
It's been easier to get weapon data and such. Thanks to amitp for helping me merge some tables. I've updated the tank pages to show their weapon information. I'm not in love with the format, as I was doing them I realized I could have made one table instead of two on the last one I did, expect the format to change, but the information is currently there.

Here's a link to the main tank page:
grid12.wikia.com/wiki/Tanks

Again, anyone should be able to edit the wiki, if you want to update some information anywhere, feel free to do so you don't (or shouldn't at least) need a wikia account or to login.

I've noticed one (or perhaps multiple) person(s) going through pages and editing grammar (not alway correctly, but that's beside the point) minor spelling issues and other minor details.

While all of these (when correct) are very much appreciated, the time that's spent on them could at the moment probably be put to better use elsewhere. I've added a priorities list to the OP, and also the main-wiki page. Here it is a third time:

Priorities In order of importance:
Raw content addition (most important)
Wikified formatting (less important)
Pictures
Proofreading (least important)

Again, if all you feel comfortable editing is grammar and proofreading other's work, I'm not telling you not to! All help is appreciated, but if possible please try to focus on hashing out major pieces first, and change minor details as they are noticed.

Thanks again to those who have been helping with this effort.

[Stabbeh]

I'm sorry!

I don't know much about the in-depth parts of the game, and I do these edits at school where the game is blocked, so I figured the least I could do was make it... cleaner? Easier to read? I don't know I'm really just a nitpick...
I added the section for build 49 when it first came out and added summaries for the tanks I had when the wiki was new, but when it comes to tactics and raw data I've got nothing.

You can call me for formatting though, heh...

[gingerbear]

Making a Wiki easier (cleaner) to read and navigate through is just as important as adding valuable information to it, so personally I don't mind if someone only dedicates their time for formatting and spell checking. Not being a native english speaker, it helps me if I don't have to be that "spot-on" in my description in a linguistic sense.

I'm adding data here and there with a minimal formatting, and trying to outline what should be still filled in. I can't play at work so I can't fill the gaps I'm leaving, but feel free to contribute too. Once I get home, I intend to clean up after myself if I find the time.

(My latest addition was some extra skeletoning to the Regions page as it looked far too empty but has a lot more to it. Don't expect me to post here every change I'm making, though. )

[Stabbeh]

I actually added a facility page, but its basic and needs more information. I got the pictures set, so it just really needs notes on basic structures and how the tree works. Also how it adds to VP.

I filled it up with some common knowledge, without going into too much detail about the exact building specs, because the building system is seriously behind in development and is likely to be changed (hopefully in some fundamental ways) once it gets on the TO-DO list. Thank you for the pictures, I can't upload any without registering and am too lazy to do so.

Nevertheless, some proofreading / correcting is in order in case someone finds the time for that.

[Ood]

Thanks all, I've been sans-interwebz at my house for the past few days or I'd have added detailed building stuff by now...

My 'to-do' list is more of the stuff that 'need's to be done... the stuff I want to be done will still get added first, probably... haha.

Just dropping in to propose a layout for tank information, rolling shields, weapons, and triggers into one image. More concrete than the tables on the wiki, but then again, maybe people don't need this much information. They are just moving and turning until they hear pew-pew, after all.

[Ood]

Delsy, it's not bad, but I'm not sure it's necessary. I'm not happy with the tank layout pages either, I'm not sure something quite that detailed is the way to go though. I'm still working on getting all the infos in there, then I'm going to take a better stab at getting it to look much nicer.

Also, that's a lot of image. Images are more difficult to change to fit game updates than text is. I know a lot of it could/would be text, but the diagram thing would be an image.

[gingerbear]

You could use more complex tables, then.
Just figure out how to order the information and then you can fill out as you wish. 1-2 small pictue per tank is enough, maybe 4 for the abilities, but thats all. Everything textual could go in table rows/columns

[delsy]

Yeah, figures. A more table-oriented but still graphical format might be to use a picture like the one at the top of all the tank pages, the guns labelled with numbers and the shields with letters. Then, for the table:

Turret	Dmg	Cooldown	Range	Arc	Rotation
1	3x15			360	Neccessary?
2-8999	6

Criteria for shields would be HP and regen time.

I'm for labeling turrets and rolling shots and damage together to avoid "confusion" like on the Wolverine page, which says the secondary turrets have 4 shots., which isn't strictly inaccurate. It just means there are 4 turrets. I guess it shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but here I am.

I'm experimenting with SVG for image generation. The nice thing about SVG is that it's XML text so we don't need to use an image editor every time there's an update. However I don't know if the wiki allows us to embed SVG.

[slayingu]

Just joined the wiki and now adding pictures. It is so hard trying to get a good one of a drill station

Loving the wiki and all of the info it has!

Amit,

Are you planning to auto-generate vehicle pictures from the SQL?
