Wiki Editing

This wiki is set up to make adding and editing content very simple. Most pages are based on an existing template, so you can add to them right away. A few basic things are described below.

If you have any trouble editing the wiki, please ask for help or take a look at the wiki syntax guide.

Shortcuts

Press ctrl + e to edit a page, then ctrl + s to save it.

Screenshots

To upload screenshots, simply click on the Upload Files button. You can upload an unlimited amount of screenshots all in one step! Once they finish upload and you refresh the page, all the screenshots will show up. (Please convert your .BMP files to .JPG first. You can use irfanview or any image editing program.)

For more professional looking screenshots, you may want to take a look at these optional tips:

  • Use sv_cheats 1 in combination with cl_noclip 1 (to fly around), godmode 1 (invincibility), or cl_notarget 1 (enemies ignore you).
  • Try to show off the map's architecture and interesting areas.
  • A few screenshots with actual co-operative action are nice, but not required.
  • Use r_drawviewmodel 0 and crosshair 0 to hide hands/weapons and the crosshair.
  • hud_draw 0 hides the HUD completely. Including chat & monster info.

Other images

If you need to insert in image within the actual text, follow the above steps then do this:

To insert an image on a page, you can use the Insert Image Wizard.

You can display an image attached to a page by typing [[[image image_name.jpg]]].

Videos

These can be added on the map page in the right side media bar.

Headings

For consistency, please stick to H2 for main headings and H3 for subheadings. You can go up to H6 for even more levels of organization.

Page Ownership

Although all pages can be edited by anyone, certain powerful abilities (i.e., file deletions) are only allowed by the page owner. Page ownership is determined by whoever initially creates a page. If someone else added your map to the wiki, you can claim it as yours to get full permissions. Please follow the directions below. Note: Unfortunately, comments and ratings currently cannot be carried over to the new owner.

What is the URL of the page you want to claim as yours? Enter only one at a time.
