ID wiki

[Neco]

Anyway, what would you've in mind for an ID documentation on your website? Some fancy stuff or wiki-like things?

Hm, well something I've always wanted is a version control service for .W3X files that also displays and allows you to edit the object / trigger data, then recompile and download an editable or optimized copy from the server.

I've started mocking up the kind of look I'd like, and if I managed to complete an actual working version it would pretty much let the map be edited by the community. It'd be trivial at that point to allow comments / editable data in a wiki-like format.

Here is a quick mock-up of object data being displayed (hardcoded values).

That looks pretty good. Would just need an approve/deny option for requested changes.

Yep, with that kind of functionality it would be absolutely perfect.

But for now, I agree with @Dehumanchum in that video guides would probably be the most useful to newer players. Nothing else about Island Defense is really that interesting to read barring the history.

Maybe I'm just an oldfag but I always liked text+photos over video because you don't have to jump back and forth with text if you missed something or etc.

If it's an well-made video you shouldn't be missing stuff. With the current community I feel videos would be more viewed than texts would be read.
Both would be good tbh. A wiki for the hard stats, Videos for the guides.

I was thinking like short 2-3 min video that explains something.. eg, The basic game principles, builder breakdown, escape methods, titans, etc... If you guys send me short clips of stuff like that I can add a commentary so it may be easier for people to follow whats going on.

Shouldn't be of a game. Should be like Burns Wallwalking video guide but explained, Edited better. Also higher quality and with commentary.

Reviving topic; an island defense wiki would be very nice.

As far as I know Neco is working on the full data site.

I PM'd him and I guess it's not private knowledge since it'll be public use.

Isnt all the data on github?

[Neco]

I took it down while I work on a better system.
