Documentation Request

Please post what kind of documentation you need, what makes most problems when building your playerworld, where would you like to get more code examples about.
We are already preparing some documentation and find people who want to help, some help about what is needed most would be appreciated.

A document to learn how NPC Control would be nice, like how to add a class and what not..

Uploading, adding folders, deleteing folders (if its added yet?).. Stuff like that..
I learn't by asking my friends.. do a document what'll help people with RC..

What I would like some documentation on is Scripts in GANIs. Like what is it limited too? I know that triggeraction doesn't work in Gani scripts, but are there more stuff that don't work?

I would be interested in some documentation of low-level stuff, how variables and strings are handled internally, how events like if (created) or callnpc'd events are actually implemented, how strings are mangled for commands that take a variable number of string arguments, ...

That would help, indeed, some people are already helping us with ideas and even new documents. More help would be nice too. :)

Sounds good, I would appreciate some documentation about good onwall checks, looking at other peoples checks is not very helpful.

Dynamic interactive menus
In other words, cool and not very laggy ways to make menus such as a Q-Menu.

I want to be able to make a cool item system like Graal Kingdoms where you can put items into chests and stuff but I wouldn't know where to start :frown:

The basic controls of RC. Such as how to add staff RC's,upload, organize folder config.

That's not related to scripting.

There needs to be a tutorial on graal.net or something.

Starting a server and maintaining it.

Spark made a tutorial for that... Search the playerworld forum and you will find it.

Spark really needs to get off his high-horse and update and HTML it :frown:
I'll try this weekend. :cool:

Here it is for now though:

This would be nice if documents like mine above and NPC ones were in a global folder on all servers. Like that /globaldocs/ I tried - but if it was an actual global folder I wouldn't need to upload 150times ;)

Anyone that would like a Doc made in Mircosoft Word converted to a PDF file just send it to me at [email protected] and I would be happy to do it for you. I did an example here of Sparks..

Yes, or perhaps we could do it in a more standard file? I'm not fond of OpenOffice if I don't have to use it. RTF would not be so bad. I'm not sure if I even have a PDF reader installed on my mandrake =/ Also, putting file types that are made by microsoft doesn't seem totally intelligent, have you SEEN that thing they call an operating system ;)

I cannot read this pdf. Try not forcing nonstandard fonts.

Wheres my making-a-mud/qmenu-documentation? :pissed:

Polo	10-01-2004 03:23 PM

Were doing them in html, as thats the most 'standard' format you can get which allows for layout. It was a decision between that and Rich Text, but I am aware that the Microsoft Word Rich Text is not compatible with other viewers, and so HTML was taken as the main choice.

Still open to suggestions on this though....
