Two-stop elevators

A couple of notes on your new tutorial (thanks for contributing it!):

  • Articles on the Wiki can't be signed. If you want to say "I made this", the best way of doing it is to link to the article from your user page (User:MrTwoVideoCards). Similarly it is preferred that articles be written without reference to "I".
  • It'd be great if you could include some formatting to make the article easy to read. If you want to put a title in, put == either side of the title and it's automatically formatted. Similarly, to make bold text put ''' or for italic text put '' around the text that you want to format. To make a list, simply put a * at the start of each line of the list item. Very easy, huh? :)

I'm still waiting on some opinion or consent on what to do with the AKG links here: Category talk:Level Design... --Vaarscha 01:47, 11 May 2006 (PDT)
I'm not hugely familiar with AKG or its history. My first reaction though would be: If you can contact the articles' authors and get permission, put them directly on here. If not, link to mirrors. If there are no mirrors, delete the links. --Giles 02:02, 11 May 2006 (PDT)
copied your comment over to Category talk:Level Design because discussing it in one place makes more sense after all. --Vaarscha 07:07, 11 May 2006 (PDT)
Note: My old AKG site is now SDK Nuts (New .NET v2 servers.) --wisemx 16:20, 6 Sep 2006 (PDT)

The MrTwoVideoCards page has been canidated for deletion because it isn't a user page. (The user page is called User:MrTwoVideoCards, if you didn't know.) --Andreasen 15:51, 5 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Posting a screenshot

You need to upload it to the Wiki first. To do this use the Upload file link on the left hand side of any Wiki page. Then once you've done that, you will be able to link to it using the double brackets. --Giles 11:50, 6 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Please stop reverting the Gear Logo page. Feel free to create it when there's some useful information, but right now it's doing absolutely nothing for the community. --AndrewNeo 15:49, 6 Sep 2006 (PDT)

Suggestions

Your screenshots are very, very dark. Before taking a screenshot, opening the console and typing mat_fullbright 1 will flood the map with light that will make taking screenshots much easier. (Type mat_fullbright 0 again to turn off.)

Another thing: By now people has probably has their fill of "Grunt-fest" maps. Even in the first Half-Life games too many maps has been filled with numerous military grunts, and while cool for perhaps the first two minutes, it will quickly get very, very boring just shooting down soldier after soldier. If you can change it, people would probably prefer a little more variation to the concept of having a single arena filled with a seeming unending assault of Combine soldiers. --Andreasen 16:40, 6 Sep 2006 (PDT)
