As requested by me in http://arcemu.org/fo...=1 the wiki has undergone some changes you should all know about.

SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi has been added to the wiki, which means you may now highlight code like the forums do, or any text type editor - this was mainly focused at the forces of wow-v which have helped us greatly by documenting the many functions of the scripting engine.

To use this new addition (read the link above too) type this when editing a page


<source lang="lua">

function example
();

</source>


This is much prettier and readable then just using <pre>


I have also added collapsible objects. They will function as a bullet you may click on to show or hide a section of a page, making things a little neater.
To use it:
{{Collapse|Internalname|Hai2u|Stuff that goes inside the object here}}


Please see: Template:Collapse

Change Internalname to something appropriate >THAT WILL NOT CONFLICT WITH OTHER OBJECTS<

In addition I am going hard to work editing and performing maintenance on the many pages that need it, any requests for page moving/renaming or deletion can go through me via forum PM or IRC.

NOTE TO ALL WIKI EDITORS:
Please assist me in categorizing YOUR pages, please find your category in Special:Categories or create one if you did not find one that was appropriate for your page.
Adding a category to your page is as simple as adding [[Category:MyCategory]] to the bottom of your page.
-- Also please refrain from signing("~~~~") your edits, as we know who created the page from the page history. A wiki is a place of multiple editors, this discourages other editors from editing your page.]]> Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:03:00 +0000 http://arcemu.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23297 Forums Re-organized http://arcemu.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23036
Needless to say, our forums have undergone a major transformation.
We've been hard at work shifting individual forums around, renaming, merging, and cleaning up so that our users experience is as fluid as possible.

Several new forums worth noting are:

Peer to Peer Support - Installation, configuration, and general support. This is a good place to start if you're an absolute beginner.
Commit Logs - Be up to date with the latest updates to our source code.
ArcEmu Feedback - Lets us know how we're doing and what you'd like to see us working on, including features (no bug reports please!)
Recruitment - ArcEmu is LFM - Details within!

As well, several forums have been moved.

Patch Workshop has been merged into Workshop within the Core Modification forum.
Pictures, Videos, and Screenshots has been merged into Offtopic as a sub-forum.
Both the Scripting and Database forums "General Chat" has been merged into their respective categories.
Introductions have been moved into the ArcEmu Community category.
The Crash Reports forum has been moved into the Arcemu Development category.

Invision Power Board (the forums) have been upgrade to the latest version
You are now able to share posts/threads via several websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
You can now customize your profile's background image. Note: You must upload an image offsite to a website such as Imageshack.us to make use of this feature.

More news coming soon, stay tuned.

Yesterday in a staff meeting we discussed switching to GIT.
Currently we use Subversion, and it has served us well over the last 2 years. The time has come where we need able to commit to a local repository and then push to the central repository. Currently, several staff members are working on several rewrites of the emulator. Ranging from the aiinterface to packet handling, we believe GIT is a beneficial improvement to this project.

Please note, we have not switched to GIT yet.

As well, our GIT repository will be MIRRORED to our Subversion repository. This means you can still check out of our SVN repo without using GIT.
This change will mainly effect developers, and not the average user/power-user.

Please stay tuned for updates.]]> Mon, 24 May 2010 05:05:40 +0000 http://arcemu.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22009 Community Contest - Win 250 By Posting Crash Dumps! http://arcemu.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21976

( I'm not the one on the pic, (it's a random camwhore) just before someone misunderstands the situation )

Despite of all of the bickering in the past, present and future there are a group of people who appreciate all you've done, do, and will do!
Contrary to popular belief we do like you a lot (sometimes we even read your PMs, and listen to what you say)! Sometimes we might even laugh on your jokes (a little)!
Either way we hope you spend this day, and evening having lots of fun!
