Title: [Feature Request] Links Page On Website
Post by: LaZeRs on November 20, 2013, 08:00:12 PM
Just thought it'd be convenient.
Some of the links to things are hard to find.

There used to be a links page.  It actually still exists here:

http://digitalpaint.org/links.html

There just was never much to put on it, and things never seemed to stick around, so most of the links would be dead.

No links page needed for a mostly dead game.

What links in your opinion are hard to find?

With exception of wiki (which is "test" for ages now, and probably will never be official), there is not much links that are needed.
Informations in general are hard to find in here: we have spammed forum, not updated website and spambotted test wiki nobody looks at. Too many times "we need a wiki" has been said, and Jitspoe is just lazy on this matter (as on doing any updates on website).

EDIT: No need to point this, I found out that it's old revived thread (by now). Voteban DooCi.

Hmm... Well I could only think of a couple...

http://digitalpaint.org/docs/server_guide_win32.html (http://digitalpaint.org/docs/server_guide_win32.html)
http://digitalpaint.org/testwiki1/pb2wiki.php?word=Commands+and+Settings (http://digitalpaint.org/testwiki1/pb2wiki.php?word=Commands+and+Settings)
Oh, the 2nd one's part of the wiki. Still good information that's hard to find. Instead of that, this:
http://digitalpaint.org/docs/client_commands_basic.txt (http://digitalpaint.org/docs/client_commands_basic.txt)

Actually, now that I think about it, why can't the wiki be part of the tabs (News, DPlogin, Forums, etc.) on this website?

Ok, so lemme make clear this for you:
Longer time ago jitspoe set up this TEST wiki, as wiki was requested. Few people made really good articles in there. Then basically he haven't touched this wiki until recently, when spambots invaded it destroying everything. Then Jitspoe went saying that spambots invaded it and made it useless. Despite my and not only my requests for wiki in time span of 2 years or possibly more, test wiki never made it into official wiki, so it's not on upper bar.
TL;DR: Jitspoe screwed up.

The wiki is still up.  The links above were from the old test wiki.  I copied everything over to the new one maybe a year ago, and started adding some new content.

Some spammers kept changing the homepage, but I just switched it back.

Here is a link:  www.digitalpaint.org/wiki (http://www.digitalpaint.org/wiki)

It would be nice to block random people from editing it.

That's a good job, can you get Jitspoe to add it to upper bar and configure restrictions? Wiki would be useful, I think it would grow fast and become great information source.

How can I register?
Title: Re: [Feature Request] Links Page On Website
Post by: LaZeRs on December 24, 2013, 11:31:12 AM
Click the register button, but that seems to take me to the same page as the login :-\

Can you make it so you can login to the wiki with your DPLogin account?

I would opt for it, but if it will take too much time, screw it, we need a wiki, not a perfectly done wiki (I would insert text saying Jitspoe is lazy here, but it's Christmas, I won't annoy him for once :P ).

Also guys: Don't go editing it for now, until it's not officially open, first we need to open it, as now it's in development.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who doesn't know what a wiki is?

I could work on a wiki outside of dplogin.com, but if jitspoe likes, I could help update the wiki/write a new one for dplogin
