Welcome!

Hello there, and welcome to the VDC! It's safer here :) Good idea on bringing SDK Nuts tutorials to the VDC, and thank you for that! It's a shame to see that site go, but perhaps others might be created! In what regards to editing pages, I have two suggestions:

1. If you want to easily sign your posts, you can write the following characters after your text: --~~~~. Your signature will appear in their place. Alternatively, you can click the "signature" button (the penultimate button), and those same characters are automatically placed in the editing box. You should always sign your posts on talk pages and (generally, apart from a few exceptions) never on article pages.
2. Always remember to use the Show preview button more times than the Save page button, to prevent "flooding" the Recent Changes page!

Enjoy your stay here on the VDC! --Etset 13:38, 4 Feb 2008 (PST)

Tutorials

Hi, I used to visit SDK Nuts quite often, and when the site went down for the first time, Nicadeamas and I took some time and ported all of the tutorials by Mark over to PHP (with his permission), and hosted them on my site (type3studios.com). The reason I'm here is that I've heard that Mark "officially" handed the tutorials off to you, and so I have some questions regarding them. The Developer wiki is a great place for them, but it is limited in formatting, and as such I was wondering if you minded me bringing the tutorials back online at Type 3. Here is an example: Displacement Basics As you can see, We've already put the work into formatting the tutorials, checking the links, and even have all of the downloads associated with the tutorials already available. Bringing them back up could also save you some time on this effort, as you could link to my site for the downloads, or it could even save you from having to port them at all if you just wanted to link to the tutorials here. at any rate it is up to you. I'll try to look here for a response, but if you could email me at vecima.k(at)gmail.com, i would appreciate it. thanks. --Vecima 12:09, 8 Feb 2008 (PST)

Don't get me wrong, but really why do we need these tuts on here to begin with? There awesome, if not awesome sauce, but if its on the SDK nuts site, then we won't really need it here, as this is all basic construct tuts anyways.--Gear 16:06, 8 Feb 2008 (PST)

On another note, which You may have noticed, the site is down, but for now you wont have to port them all over to here, we never have anyways. We can wait and see if it comes back up. Rather than jumping the gun.--Gear 16:07, 8 Feb 2008 (PST)

I don't think the site will ever come up again, or let's say I'd be more than surprised if the site is ever opened again, the source code is in my hands now and Mark told me that putting it on VDC would probably be the best thing to do

A lot of people have enjoyed the tutorials, but if you don't want them here it's fine with me, I have tons of other stuff to work with.

Hmm btw you have the all right to have your opinion and no offence taken! --Peter [AGHL] 16:35, 8 Feb 2008 (PST)

Yeah those tuts are good, But sure I want them, I just Wasnt too sure if we should all dump em here just yet, as man there are a lot, but hey if Mark said go, well then, have fun, and if you need help, come ask ;_)--Gear 21:18, 8 Feb 2008 (PST)

...sure I do need a couple of hands and more. I can easily port them to the VDC. First one wiseHouse took some time as I neededto get en idea of syntax/formatting etc. The latter I am opening in notepad to delete/change HTML tags and apply wiki formatting, credits etc - eg WiseWaterGlass

Anyways I can see that the article needs a little brushup here and there to conform to VDC standards and improve the quality

* Rewrite to thirdperson

* Add additional descriptions or link to other articles (I'm enabling hyperlinks on all entities etc)

* Proper article name

* New larger screenshots (I have the sample maps)

* And probably more

Thanks inadvance --Peter [AGHL] 00:55, 9 Feb 2008 (PST)
