Also some of the images on the media page are low res/blocky

 

Which ones?

 

I've added the most recent news item to the front page now.

 

Is that automatically going to be the most recent news entry? It looks fine with just text but the formatting will be pretty messy if it's an entry with a decent-sized image.

I'm currently upgrading the Wiki to MediaWiki's latest release, and moving it to its own sub-domain. New URL is http://wiki.thedarkmod.com

 

Will add rewrite-rules for the old URL so links etc will continue to work.

EDIT: Rewrite rules are now working so no links to the old wiki URL should break, but just redirect to the new URL.

 

By the way, the TDM download-link on the Wiki (main page) is broken.

I do not have sufficient permissions to edit the wiki main page.

Good point, I've added CSS declaration to make images resize to 25% of the post width if displayed on the main page. Looks ok to me in a quick test.

Sorry about the hold up, had to turn the forums off to make a DB dump and transfer it to the new subdomain. But I ran into SQL issues while upgrading to the newest release, had to submit a support ticket over at IPS.

 

So, I opened the forums again and will have to make a new DB dump once I get a workaround. Not sure if it will be today.

 

Please note that once the forums are upgraded to the newest release the skin will be the default one - we have to create a new TDM skin from scratch, but as I've heard it should be easy to do in the new IPB version.

Cool, that should be fine.

 

Btw, is there a way to add a "add comment/read comments" link to the bottom of the news entries? I'm not sure people are aware of the fact that they can add comments.

That's a Doom3 wiki...it's not associated with TDM at all (though obviously it's useful for us).

@Modetwo, I have a minor request..

 

Would it be possible to have the row of options at the bottom of the forum copied to the top

 

"Back to top | Forum Home | Delete My Cookies | Mark Board As Read"

 

Reason for asking is one would have to scroll to the bottom of the forum then to mark the board as read etc.

Looks like someone added a gradient fade to thedarkmod.com. Nice.

 

If the front page post images CSS causes issues I'd say just be prepared to strip out the image tags with PHP. You could also do a character limit to entice viewers to click on a read/view comments link.

Though I have to say, it's very rare for the forum to be out of reach, it hasn't been down for a minute for years, so let's show some appreciation for modetwo who is doing that for free, on his own expense (the forum software is not free of charge).

 

I really appreciate modetwo, I admit that this board is working well. Thanks Modetwo for you effort.

 

(but I appreciate all the crew involved on TDM :-) )

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
