I just noticed that all of the vehicle info has been added in. Great work!

Spec · 2012-08-20, 16:29

Oh, why haven't I noticed this earlier? Great stuff! Is it still being edited?

Most impressive. I can read German, but this should be helpful also for those who can't. I've been complaining for years now that the official PR wiki is down, as I think some things on the wiki are critical for new players, such as being able to see pictures and names of the vehicles.

Great job.

Is there an English version?

Hi guys. Sorry for not answering for some time, apparently my thread subscription that gives me automated email notifications failed for some reason...

Our webadmin just informed me that apparently the wiki gets a fairly good deal of visitors, and I was delighted to hear that, as I really wasn't sure about what kind of reception this would receive.

@All: Thanks for praises regarding the wiki, it's very motivating to see positive feedback after we put in hundreds of manhours to set this up.

@saXoni: An English version does not exist, sorry. Setting up a proper multilanguage wiki is surprisingly difficult, as there still is no native support for that in mediawiki. The multilanguage wikis you see around (like Wikipedia) all have to use a workaround that basically means duplicating the entire wiki and just cross-referencing them in the "language" tab on the menu. As filespace on our current webserver is a bit limited and this is a bunch of work we have not yet implemented this.

I still believe that most of the information on the wiki should be understandable even for non-German-speakers, as it's mostly pretty pictures and numbers. I am aware that the biggest audience is reachable via English, but I'll have to see about how and when we can do this, translating the few pages with actual text should not take long.

I always thought trans helis were 10 tickets not 5.

Stumbled upon this quite a while ago and it has become even more complete and complex.

Good job, great help if you are looking for some details about PR.

There is a wise saying: If you don't have anything inteligent to add, be quiet.

The point is to look at pretty pictures and numbers. Last I checked, both of them had quite a global validity. Figuring out what the numbers mean means checking up a single word or set of three words. And as I figure you have access to the magic machine called Internet, I also you figure you'll be able to find a translation for those.

@PLODDITHANLEY:
Then I guess you learned something new. I cite realityconfig_private.py:

Code:

# Tickets lost when destroyed/killed
#
# Defaults:
# -10 = tanks, jets, attack helicopters, ifvs
# -5 = apcs, aavs, transport helicopters, recon
# -2 = jeeps, trucks
# -1 = soldiers
