Before Paul opens the floodgates for wiki editing, we should plan what pages and catagories need to be created and documented first. This is just a very rough sketch of what the wiki may look like in a category; page format. If there is something not present on this list that we should plan for, post a reply with your reccomendation.

All of the current features that we planned to document have been DOCUMENTED!

Modding API

Ooh, that's a good one. Are you volunteering to write it? :3

I would if I knew what I was talking about . Although, all that can be said at this moment is that it is a planned feature.

I just noticed you're 6 posts away from becoming a hero member. :3

Planned features should be documented as well as existing ones. Of course, existing ones take priority.

Paul would be the main writer of the API... once I get a new computer (I punched mine in a fit of rage, plus it couldn't really run Mythruna anyways so pshht..) then I'll help with the API...

[Rayblon]

Fleshed out the plan a little more with some planned feature pages. Those pages are things we'd have on the backburners of course, but are still super important later.

[Rayblon]

Perhaps there should also be a crash self help pages where a bunch of common crashing issues are addressed.

[Rayblon]

Added 5 more things to the plan.

You should build your own computer! ....as long as you have more common sense than that one specific person with the Mr. Krabs avatar.... (I hope he doesn't read this)

I know how, just no money XD I remember taking apart that desktop I used to use, and hooking it all up in a new case with a new MoBo and Power Supply & fan, and man, that was fun.

Building a PC is cheaper than a prebuilt.

Building a PC is cheaper than a prebuilt.

Yes.  Though I will stress that it's cheaper in the "price per capability" sense.  You can buy cheaper prebuilt machines but they will suck for playing games.  I recently built (my kids and I built three of them) some pretty nice ~$400 machines (6 core phenoms with nVidia cards in them... GTX 460s maybe?)  At least $400 is what I remember... it's hard to extract the actual price because I bought monitors and other stuff with them.  Maybe they were $500.  I could pull up the specs if anyone really cares.

Still... that's a lot of money.

Well, if any of your friends frequently upgrade their computers, you have yourself some good interim components if they're feeling generous. My graphics card is actually one from 08' that a friend handed off to me. It's an amazing card, for the most part, too.

[Rayblon]

And now we wait I guess.

Not that waiting is a bad thing. I've got no free time this week anyway.
