I'm pretty much tired of the drama on the [[Valve_Developer_Community:Moderator_elections]]'s talk page. And I don't want to post anything about this on discussion, beside thanks to this I probably would be less active in VDC, but I still may do some research about the engine and entities, and improve templates without changing stuff to be more unusable.
Developer of {{hl2u}} [https://github.com/megakarlach/HL2reUpdate/ reUpdate].


I originally came here to fix some dead links and do few other stuff, but as soon some users came to this website and doing major template stuff, which I (and some people) didn't know that this was wrong at that time (because I thought this was the standard). It's similar story as [[User:Equalizer5118]]. However I will learn from mistakes eventually, but this sh-t already kinda give me headache for 3+ straight days trying to cope about this and managed ruined my life even more than it already is. From now on I'm probably gonna do some research on stuff that would be appropriate for this wiki.

* Lots of Source & Source 2 related. Example like [[Cubemaps]].
Also one more thing, i'm currently reverting many changes as I can and make it looked like old VDC for now. The user who created [[Template:Software page]] and other template mess has been temp blocked.
* Cleaning up game pages after {{T|Software page}} mess and colorful text that are inappropriately placed, which clutters the page and makes the page very distracting. Adding {{T|Infobox game}} as a replacement which was cleaner.
* Update [[Template:Moddb|ModDB links template]] to allow linking to any other ModDB pages. The only downsides is this would break backward compatibility (through some ModDB links using numbers are already broken anyway).

Developer of Half-Life 2: Update reUpdate.

Currently doing

  • Lots of Source & Source 2 related. Example like Cubemaps.
  • Cleaning up game pages after {{Software page}} mess and colorful text that are inappropriately placed, which clutters the page and makes the page very distracting. Adding {{Infobox game}} as a replacement which was cleaner.
  • Update ModDB links template to allow linking to any other ModDB pages. The only downsides is this would break backward compatibility (through some ModDB links using numbers are already broken anyway).

Other stuff

Sandbox:

Stuff created/edited

Note.pngNote:This only list some of the stuff that I had done to this wiki which actually does works and improves alot.

Pages

  • Main Page - Added links to CS2 tools. And mentioning Source 2 on licensing stuff on the right.
  • Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools - Used to be draft, but kinda finished, some subpage itself might be left unfinished or WIP through.
  • Cubemaps - Discovering some stuff that people (might) doing it wrong for years, which explains why cubemaps doesn't generate properly.
  • Lots of Source 2-related pages.

Templates (that I have created or improved)

  • {{Banned user}} - Formerly, {{Banned spammer}}, this template was improved to mention "vandals, trolls, TOS, harassment, etc..."
  • {{Software}} templates (such as {{sin1}} [SiN SiN], {{XboxXS}} [Xbox Series X/S], etc...)
  • {{Cs2-navbox}} - Copypasted from {{Csgo-navbox}}. For Counter-Strike 2 Counter-Strike 2.
  • {{Software status}}, combined {{game release}} and it's variant into one template, which makes it quicker to update. Still need to cleaning up bit of spaghetti code.
  • Many Topicons - replacing suf translations with Autolang, adding optional "nocat" parameters.
  • {{Chapters}}
    • I'm starting to think that i'm not sure whether this template is needed to be exist on this wiki or not, but it was used in Half-Life and Half-Life 2 to replace the simple Chapters stuff.

Experimental Templates

  • None.

Cleanups

  • Marked {{Delete}} on several game pages unrelated to VDC and/or does not use Valve engines whatsoever, all these pages were created when Steam was pretty new and third-party games at the time was allowed, but as of today these pages are worthless now.

    • WIP and incomplete.

      • Restores the old weapon sounds cut from the pre-2011 version of Postal III, which was less loud.

    • Cutscene Subtitles (English)
      • Simple mod that adds English subtitles, may not be 100% accurate but it's more like atleast 90-95%, some words might be incorrect as some SFX was inaudible due to music or other sounds effect overlapping them.
