see Howto_Linux_SVN_DE

Improve Main_Page

• Drop that long paragrah "This wiki is for the BlinkenSisters 0.5.1 and later. For documentation of ...". Make new Page that explains where to find old doku. Just leave a Link to this new Page (and a Link to the old-0.3-website?) instead of that long paragraph.

• put a Screenshot on Main_Page done - maybe we should add some more screenshots to the wiki and chosse a nice one for MainPage?

• reorder page-structure:
  • we need a short intro-text in top of the ToC... !
    • Blinken Sisters is an open source game in 80s retro style, free to download, fully playable and easy to handle. Enjoy jumping and running with Agent Kate through various levels of danger, collecting all the pixels that were lost in another dimension! --Bodo 21:35, 9 December 2007 (CET)
    • Blinken Sisters is still under development. We are always looking for creative people who would like to contribute. --Bodo 21:35, 9 December 2007 (CET)
    • Nice to have:
      • "tell us your talents"
      • creating levels, graphics, music
      • all platforms (win, mac, lix)
      • sf hosted
      • gpl licensed
      • link to the page that explains the storyline, link to a page that explains version documentation --Bodo 21:35, 9 December 2007 (CET)
  • first the link to the download-page, that ok
  • News next, fine
  • delete the rest and build it new from the scratch

Add Tech-Doku

Lets start with a full description of all directorys in the svn-repository :)

Add Page BlinkenSisterHomeDirectory

Describe where to find the "BlinkenSisterHomeDirectory" (zB ~/.lostpixels/V0.5.2/) on each OS. Use also "%userprofile%" on this new page - it's replaced to the correct path by some Win-OS :). Refactor all existing occurences of the "BlinkenSisterHomeDirectory" in the Wiki to some short text containig the link to the new page (Create a Template:BlinkenSisterHomeDirectory for this!).

known occurences:

• Install#Linux_.2F_Unix
• Simple_Level#HowTo_create_your_own_Level
• Scripting
• AddOn_Template

copy/paste content from these pages the the new template...

Done

wiki background image

What about replacing the background image of the wiki with something custom too? (not just the logo)

The standard wikipedia background is

For example we could use blinkenplayerbg.bmp from the new release and resize it, save as .jpg and copy over ./skins/monobook/headbg.jpg. I think that would make the wiki look better. Mutante 20:45, 4 November 2007 (CET)

Message from cavac: DONE!

uploading (bmp) files

I tried to upload the above mentioned .bmp file but i got an error message that ".bmp" is not an allowed file format to upload. Since you dont allow public account creation anyways and .bmp is used in many BlinkenSisters files i suggest to enable uploading .bmp files. You would have to change in LocalSettings.php where a line starts like $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png',... and add 'bmp' into that array. I would also upload alternative "game over" and "killed" screens i made then. Mutante 20:53, 4 November 2007 (CET)

-- DONE: $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'bmp', 'conf', 'dat', 'bsl', 'bmf', 'zip', 'gz', 'bz2' );
