Help us make an awesome wiki!

I was looking at the convars page and thought about a way to give it an overhaul. To make it look more clean and elegant. So, I made this:

Convars List Overhaul

What do you think? Yeah? Noes? Something I missed or corrections in the list? Suggestions are much appreciated!

Looks nice (was watching from afar) the only problem I see apart from the fact that many of not all of those convars will change the alternating background color doesn’t work with sortable lists, a better option would to have each cell have a bottom underline in the darker grey.

Maybe crosshair can be included under weapons, since that’s its purpose, and it looks awkward to have it on its own imo.

is that a page dedicated to available console commands? If so, this is gonna be kinda important to the fan base when the mod is released.

Yes, unless there are more crosshair specific convars yet not disclosed. If not, I see no problem in merging it with weapons.
Another thing I notice is the “AI” convars. I think it’s better to call it “Enemies”, cause the convars controls every aspect of enemies (like health, range, damage etc) instead of inteligence only.

You mean a plain background with simple table lines, like when you’re looking at a vanilla Excel table?

Yeah, the shit of this alternate background is that it loose totaly its function when the sortable list is used… :confused: My focus in the alternate background is to give at least an easy visual separation between lines when you look at it in a fast glimpse. My eyes confuse plain lines in solid backgrounds all the time lol.

I think the break in the alternation is not a problem when the list is well organized and the sort button is used only in rare cases (for example I use only when I really need increasing/decreasing numbers in the “default” column… but this is my case). I wish I could make an alternate background that changes dinamicaly when you click in the sort button, but it is too advanced for me (maybe it is not even possible with the wiki tags).

Yes, it is! :slight_smile: But Black Mesa specific. Some time ago Kane added and updated some cvars, but I guess many of them are already outdated now.

yup it is, and it will

:ninja:: maybe ‘NPCs’ would be a better name yet than enemies?

Totally BMwiki style and awesome sauce. My only recommendation would be to give more contrast between the set of grays in order to make each line more clear to view.

another option would to be to use gradients so every cell uses the same background but you still get the alternating effect. I’ll play with a few styles in the coming days.

I agree.

Great! Do the magic as you always do, Mr. FireTime! In the meantime I’ll work on it a little more to reorganize the convars in perfect alphabetical order. The lists are a bit messed up.

Thx for the feedback!

Don’t worry too much about the specifics entities in the list. Seeing as a good majority will change. You can still do general things tho.

Thats it! Implemented.

Nice work (as always :stuck_out_tongue: ) !

Wouldn’t it be better if the titles are aligned left?

I was wondering if you guys could update some screenshots, like :

Just sayin’

Hmm… True. Seems that Citric updated the pics in his site, but at same time they still have the “Source” in the watermark. Only old pics have the watermark like this.

First we need to check with Citric which one of those are the most recent, and then upload them to the wiki and put the old ones in the Redesign History.

EDIT:
Oh look guize! Moar mediaz… Seems that we’re having the “end of 2010 media update”:

Sure, but I bet he used an old template, here’s an exemple :

Powerup2

Also, here are some props (6) that i haven’t seen in the wiki :

Ok. Also Citric confirmed that all pics in his portfolio are the latest iteration.

Done! All pics uploaded to the wiki.

I’ll update the convar list soon.

So I was going to add something to the wiki to say that there were going to be office workers (with reference to this post), but I’m not sure where to put it.

Seems silly to create a separate character for it, since there’s next to nothing to put on there and they’ll all be dead.

Mont Blanc already solved that problem.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
