Wiki Enchantments Part 3

Sun, 29 May 2011 08:56:18 +0000

Greetings. The ArcEmu wiki has been updated with many new features (yet again)! It is now on the same version as Mediawiki is, with many of the same extensions and looks.

You may all notice the new article editor from Wikipedia, it is a very nice fully featured editor that can help even a novice properly use wiki markup. Included with it for browsers that don't have the required javascript, is a text/button based version that highlights some of the main features of wikimarkup that new editors should know.

You can all poke and prod it here ArcEmu-Wiki Testing If it doesn't display correctly, you need a valid UserAgent in your browser. (Should support all mainstream browsers)

Commit style log for those interested.

Wiki updated to latest mediawiki rev. http://arcemu.org/wiki/Special:Version
Entire wiki database updated to latest structures & maintenance ran (Nothing to cleanup manually this time ;_; beautiful)
Full Featured editor installed.
Special character/formatting insert form added.
All extensions updated.
Mediawiki theme customizations imported.
Checked and rechecked expanding/collapsing code.
Added expanding/collapsing menus to the left sidebar.
SimpleAntiSpam added (Prevents bots from being able to edit the wiki, even though it is heavily locked down already to their edits)
Recaptcha switched out for Confirmedit (forced, changes in MW) - You will never see another recaptcha request during editing.

Oh and for peeps doing documenting, if you want to save some typing instead of typing: everywhere, just use it defaults to Lua (since thats the most popular thing on the wiki).

A new developer page has been added to the wiki for team members, and those curious and looking for documentation. You may find it here at the Developer Entry over time this page should become filled with documentation relating to the client, packets, scripting, and whatever else we want to put somewhere for others to read that would only confuse the general public.

Arcemu Goes Cmake

Fri, 27 May 2011 18:47:17 +0000

Hey there everyone!

Today as the documentation has been mostly finished, and now all the usual platforms have been tested and turned out to be working, we officially change our build system to use CMake.

What is CMake
CMake is a cross platform build system, which means it can configure the build on multiple systems ( Windows, Linux, BSD, OS X, etc ), for multiple build tools ( Visual C++, G++, etc )
You can read more about CMake on the wiki here: http://www.arcemu.org/wiki/CMake

Why are we changing to CMake
We have users using many different Operating Systems on their machines, some use Windows, some use Linux, some use something else, and also we have different people with different build tools ( compilers ),
which means we need a unified build system to serve the needs of everyone, so that everyone can build nearly the same way.

What does this mean for Arcemu
Basically what this transition means to all of us is that before (re)building you will have to do an extra step and set up the build environment using CMake. Fortunately this is not at all hard, and we provide enough documentation on the wiki for it. This way Arcemu is more portable as you are not bound to only the compilers we officially support ( like now you can again use Visual Studio 2008 on Windows pretty easily ).
