I want to help CreationKit.Com in a MASSIVE way

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:37 pm

Guys,

I've got an idea to help out CreationKit site in a massive way. I'd lolve to work with one of the original owners on puhsing up prebuit indexes from one of my own generated index files. Please take a look at mt sig, and download the index and tell me if you think it would be a good boost to then beable to link to realworld examples from the gaem straigt via the wiki. i.e. PUSH a form of these files up AS wiki pages. I could do it hand by hand but that's foing to take a while.

Please have a look and get back with me!

I know this sounds silly and all, but if someone could point someone that might have easy access to port my script indexes it would be far easier to implement them into the wiki than by hand. ...

The big problem with the Creation Kit wiki seems that, after the initial launch, developers aren't adding any fresh information about areas in which they are the only "keepers of information".

The index is hardly an issue...there are already tons of pages and details which read just "deprecated" or blank pages.

Or the info it does have is so vague you might as well just see a blank page.

Sorry, moving on. Pet peeve of mine. >.>

I think they were expecting more user participation, veteran modders including their own knowledge. The programmers are paid to make stuff that sells after all. But most edits are very minor tweaks to what's already there.

The point is that we need more to go on to get involved. If I know what something is and what it does, as a veteran, I could elaborate on the wiki page and make it better. But if it's a blank page on something nobody has ever heard of, there isn't really anything we can do...

Indeed. We can't fill in information on things in which we know nothing about.

True to all of this, but I can't tell you how many people have used my script index to get a better understanding of implementing some of the functions, events, and more. Learning by example is one of the easiest ways to learn and MUCH of the scripting samples on the wiki are far from complete. Point being, I'd like to take my indexes and make them public (which they are on the nexus). Many people don't even know they exist and the wiki would be the perfect place for them. It's 1000 times better than using FINDSTR or Windows Search looking for samples in the scripts. Check them out in my sig below if you want, just download the older indexes and see for yourself. Now imagine those linked AT creationkit.com.

I have an HTML index for EVERY Event, Faction, Function, GlobalVariable, IdleAnimation, Ingredients, Locations, ScriptObjects and Spells that are used in the scripts, with HTML markup of the scripts pointing back to the WIKI for each value. Each index, seperated into seperate HTML pages as mentioned above, lists how many scripts use each function (for instance) which scripts use the function, and has links to each of the scripts in HTML.

Hey mofo,

Any chance you could make a small video tutorial that briefly goes over how to use it and what it does?
