Wiki? D:

Whosat

Where'd the wiki go!

There was a wealth of information up there, especially info about setting up dedicated servers, and console commands. Hope it was saved somewhere so it could at least be made into a Steam Guide

As the news post stated, the wiki upgrade is coming and all the data is still there. We're looking at tomorrow for it right now. Sorry for the downtime.

Whosat

Whew, great news! Thank you

jfmherokiller

good you had me worried that i would have to start the lua documentation from scratch XD.

Ironsoul

I was worried too. I'm planning on adding some documentation to the wiki. I really hope they've changed the look of the old wiki, it just exuded an outdated not reliable feel.

Is it up yet? I keep trying to google things from work when I have a break and keep getting dead links to the wiki... can't get any studying on ns2 concepts done from work...

DragonKnight

and, maybe put up a top level page that says it is down temporarily or something if it is going to be longer... the 404's are just ugly in a variety of ways.

Space_Jesus

Yeah, when is the wiki coming back?

YoungTrotsky

We want the wiki! We want the wiki!

Space_Jesus

Any updates?

Whosat

No idea, but the devs really need to get the wiki back up. Many users are trying to get to information from the wiki but it just gives the 404. It is a complete waste of effort for us to regurgitate what we have already written in the wiki on every thread that comes up asking about things that the wiki already has more than enough information for.

e.g. http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/128003/error-404-httpunknownworlds-comns2wikidedicated_server

Just stopping by to say I could really use the wiki information about now!

Flamestruck

The wiki's disappearance is most unfortunate. I used to refer to it all the time.

Hope it comes back soon.

Need wiki now, not later!

PsiWarp

Dang, somebody's gotta get that wiki up! I need my daily dose of updating NS2 info

Until it's back online use http://web.archive.org/web/20120704075329/http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

anyone know where i can get a hold of that script which converts steam ids to ns2 ids?

jfmherokiller

nvm found the algorithm

STEAM_0:0:XXXXX :(SteamID * 2)
STEAM_0:1:XXXXX :(SteamID * 2 + 1)

jfmherokiller

for anyone who needs to do the conversion here is a program that will do it for you
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2310376/ns2_steam_id_converter.exe
it requires the .net framework version 4.5

Ironsoul

jfmherokliller... what does that have to do with the wiki? Also I don't want to read things from the wiki, I want to write things too the wiki so archive.org is useless.

Whosat

Apparently the old wiki is still accessible here: http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/index.php

Some CSS is screwed up though so Select All to view the text if its against a black background.

Comprox

http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/index.php/Main_Page is the upgraded wiki now. We are working out a few bugs still so it hasn't been fully announced yet but go ahead and use it.
