[The Starport News]Wiki: Freelancer Mod & Server Database

Nice job w0dk4. Easier to read this way.
-
Nice!
Just have waited for it a while ^_^
Flak:
Single/Multiplayer: Multiplayer-only ```Isn't this incorrect, by the way? -
depending on the point of view. it is SP compatible, meaning you can play (open)SP with it. it is however designed for multiplayer only and therefore the SP support is limited, engaging a testing ambience for players and disengaging any sort of storyline. maybe we should agree on which criteria this parameter depends: SP capability or SP support?
guess no mod is so far incapable of multiplayer use xD -
oh, well, 99% is a pretty poetic number. most minor addons and vanilla mods do support not only openSP but even the storyline. most mods played by now are total conversions, yes, or rebalancing so much, that they cannot support a proper story. btw, if i remember right, e.g. 88flak is compatible with every savegame you make in vanilla as long as no story mission reference is in the savegame, isnât it?

Side topic:
Someone, or it maybe has to be me again, has to update the systems category:
http://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php/SystemsMost (if not all) systems DO exist in the wiki, but some of them with the âSystem:â prefix while others maybe not. For instance, form the systems list:
http://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Systems:californiaDoesnât work. But http://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php/california does. (Be careful with renaming the specific system pages because they are all linked together)

Works for me (though its a redirect).

Eh, I edited ĂŽt meanwhile ^^

i think, if its about ingame information, a source called freelancer wiki (freelancer.wikia.com) is a nice help or even reference. myself have added some aspects there based on modding experience whereas the wiki is built up by players with few knowledge of the exact technical details of it. anyway, maybe a collaboration could help creating a single game spoilers wiki. also they have small articles about several popular mods.
-
Since you list some of the mods twice (you have a mod and a server section), I have also added a server location field to our mod in the list. If you donât like my sense of order, feel free to remove it
Suggestion: Add servers directly under each mod, this way it will be easier to get an overview.
-
Well I was not speaking about one server per each mod, if there are too much you could add servers in the mods own page and link to the section.
Thatâs how I would look for mods, first the mod description and then the server list. I guess it would be easier to maintain, too.
Anyway, the decision is yours
-
Problem with that is that the mod database should give you a quick overview, with servers added under each mod it gets too crowded.
I added a simple table to the server database where you can quickly scan over servers. If a server feels like doing a proper list entry below that, why not
-
Great idea, but I think the wiki is too overloaded with informationâŚ
Mod Database and Server Database = almost the same thing, a lot of overlapping lines⌠One of these two things may be Player Database (something like this)I think ideal variant to fast mod âdownload and playâ must be like when you downloading drivers on http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us or http://www.amd.com/ru/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx
Example steps in example form:
Type of Mod->TC, Major, Minor, Patch, Any->Minor
Status->Active, Dormant, Discontinued, Any->Active
Multiplayer->Yes, No, Any->Yes
Location->Somewhere1, Somewhere2, âŚ, SomewhereN, Any ->Somewhere1
Style->RP,PvP,DeathMatch,Test,RTS,Special->RTSExample Result:
*Server Host:Port, Name, Location, Style, Mod, Players, Download Link
dunno.whereyouareatthe.moment:2302, 24/7 Procyon Dedicated , Dunno, RTS, Vanilla, 63 / 64, NiceShinyDownloadButtonSomewhere in the form may be:
- Based on->[Mod List], Original, Any
- Type of Download->Mod, Patch, Tool, SDK, 3D Model, Any
Ofcourse âServer Host:Portâ is linked with freelancer URL to start with Freelancer Web Launcher, name is linked to Wikiâs Player Database
As other wariant result is all servers (from Freelancer Most Active Servers) with the desired server at the top and down the most appropriate conformance to the request + availability to sort server list by rows*
P.S. Sorry for bad English but i think my idea is clear
