Sorry about that. You are right, I spotted it myself to be slightly harsh, but didn't change it.. Thanks for the feedback on that and for your help on the wiki.

Righto. I need to update a fair few things regarding the FM articles (including some of the older links) so I'll have plenty of work with this in the weeks ahead.

Nice work Taffer. What articles have you done the most on so far? >

I have no problem. I use Firefox. @Zerg Rush also uses Vivaldi. Have you tried without extensions, or in another browser?

(btw. bold, italic and underline have shortcut keys: Ctrl B, Ctrl I and Ctrl U, you could try that)

Maybe the answer can be found on the wiki.

Wow, that's cool!

@taaaki?

I've added the extension, but it is configured as a beta feature for now and isn't enabled by default. When logged into the wiki, go to preferences, then the "Appearance" tab. There should be a checkbox for "Enable Media Viewer".

Give that a spin and let me know if that works for you.

Thanks. It works great. When you click on an image it loads faster, because not the whole image detail page gets loaded (I guess). The navigation is also nice on pages with multiple images in them like the entity database and the fms pages. It's especially useful if the images are thumbs which link to the bigger image, like here for example.

Since I wasn't the one mainly asking, I'll just cite you in the original thread instead.

There already is a kind of sorting, sort nearest, sort decal, sort <n>. For things like windows and such, sort nearest should probably have the desirable affect, though looking through multiple translucent shaders might kill performance.

Is having multiple render effects really killing performance that badly? I don't understand. You're saying that if I have two transparent objects side-by-side, then they'll just count as two render effects, but when combined, they somehow become something much more difficult to render?

Never-the-less, unless we're talking some kind of infinite portal problem, why not let the mapper choose how much he wants to kill performance? Just warn him against putting too many effects close together.

Yeah and the wiki and moddb. It should have those links in the footer I think. Probably easy to add by an admin.

Edit: And a link to the bugtracker. I'm always searching for a post in the forum that links to that because I can't remember the url.

I drew attention to this several times in the last few years. No one payed it any attention, so I just gave up.

Reluctance to improve the forums is matched by reluctance to allow more people to work on it. Talk about trust and power.

Digital Nightfall, aka Dan, has been contractually barred from making FMs as long as he's been working for Arkane, so it's very unlikely to be him.

Thank you. This is precisely why I'm asking, as I know he's been working at Arkane for years. I wanted to be sure, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was someone else, with a similar nickname. I know that DN's abbreviated nickname back in his TTLG days was "Digi", so that was the confusing element that created the whole conundrum.

It looks like someone tried to make it "easier" by having all the commands listed sorted by spawn class. If that is needed, it should probably be on it's own wiki page. Do you have wiki editing rights?

I don't but then again that double listing has been around forever iirc (subsection 1.1 v 1.2). There was a whole section 2 that was basically a repeat of 1. It's good that stgatilov regenerated it though, not only did it make that go away but the last update was from Dec. 2021.

Styling of that page is quite minimal. I added some styling myself (with Stylus plugin), to make it better readable:

h2 {
    font-size: 180%;
    margin: 2em 0;
}
h3 {
    color: blue;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
}
h4 {
    margin: 2em 0 0.5em 1em;
}
dl {
    margin: 0 0 1em 0.5em;
}

This does make the page much longer.

Great work!

Thank you for doing this, and thank the rest of the team for getting 2.07 out the door! Not really using low end hardware anymore; the weakest thing I play on is a GTX770-4GB, but still.

Nice work.
