TODO

A list of things that need doing

• map pages need filling in (images, explanation of goals: think of an expanded version of the map loading screens). maps don't necessarily have to have a page each, we could group them by game type and link to anchors on the page. pages might get a bit big though, especially if we have lots of helpful images
• all the non existant pages pointed to by the front page need creating & linking (e.g. system requirements)
• remove the "changes from tfc" from the class information page, or at least put it as a footnote thing <-- update: lets consolidate tfc changes into one page: TFC Player's Guide To FF‎.
• expand and finish the class information page. move the weapon information from their own pages onto the class pages along with class specific skills explanations, etc
• simplify the tables on the class information pages. comprehensive tables with every last figure can be grouped together on separate pages. the Class:Scout class page is a good indicator of how i think the class pages should look (although the strategies+tips bit needs tidying up). note that scout page uses a different templates ("Class" instead of "Page_Class", "Infobox Class Small" instead of "Infobox Class") <-- update: template changes for all classes pages should be finished now. They may still require cleanup and adding the rest of the information, however.
• existing pages need to be grouped or separated as required so that they are inline with the basic structure described by the front page
• create some fact-sheet pages (one for classes, weapons, etc). all the numbers and details that were initially on the class/weapon/etc pages should be in nice tables on here. One started here: Reference:Classes

Done. --Hirohito 22:10, 29 January 2008 (CST)

Even More ToDo

I'm going to make a new list here, which will hopefully be updated more often. If one of these items is addressed to your satisfaction (or it looks as if someone else has already), please put <s></s> strikeout tags around it, so we know it has been dealt with. Hopefully this section will be more useful and active then what was here beofore.

Pages that need attention

• What Fortress Forever Is - This is like a advertisement for FF, what type of gameplay, what features, what's fun about it, etc. If someone falls onto the main page and says "WTF is this?" then they find their answer on this page. It's pretty basic as of the time of this writing.
• All Weapons pages. they are ugly and seem to have a fair amount of outdated information. A new template would be reccomended.

Done. --Hirohito 23:38, 29 January 2008 (CST)

• Any class pages where the introduction text is lifted from the TFC page on wikipedia needs updating with an original FF-specific introduction
• Main Menu - could be fleshed out some more.
• Game Goals - could be fleshed out some more.

Pages that need reviewing

See Category:Rated Articles for articles that already have a review.

• Class:Civilian
• Everything else

Pages that need to be created

Mostly incomplete links from the Main Page Contents

• Main Menu - A description of the options and functions of the main FF game menu, and what each menu option leads to..
• Setup - A tutorial page for installing and setting up the game. Changing names, using cfg files, links to Player Controls (see below). [i]Update:[/i]Still only a stub.
• Player Controls - A guide to setting up mouse and keyboard binds, a description of the console and it's purpose. [i] Update: [/i] I'm currently working on something similar to this, let me know if this is what your looking for. How to make a script DrSatan-12955 14:46, 14 January 2008 (CST)
• Game Goals - A page for summarizing the types of games that are in FF, and how the objectives work, etc,.
• Team and Class selection - A page discussing the different classes and what they are good for, and when to pick a particular class; also just how to change class and team in-game.
• All Map Guides! Maybe we could solicit more assistance from forum-members to write some details, strategies for each of the maps (including popular non-official maps). This is a big area of missing content. Also, the map template needs to be put in a fairly finished state.
• Troubleshooting - Initial information and editing has been done. More information and evaluation of article structure, etc needs to be done now.
• More? ...

Add some new ones?

• Quick Start guide - Quick links an easy instructions for the quickest way to get playing.
• Mapping Resources - A page of links and tips for getting started mapping. Includes setting up hammer to edit (it was tricky for me).
• Server guide - A guide to getting a server up and running. Especially by the time the next version is out, this would be nice. Server config variables, compatible admin plugins, necessary files, whatever. I know diddly but if someone does know something? [i]Update[/i] Have one up and I think it's pretty much read for pub view / linking...some stuff in the discussion section that needs review first though. check it out DrSatan-12955 14:01, 24 January 2008 (CST)
• Community resources? - Pages of clans, leagues, stuff like that. A link to the forum or some web-sites if nothing else maybe.

I have a clan category up, but we need a community link on the sidebar. --Hirohito 12:48, 29 January 2008 (CST)

In-game screenies and information gathering

This is a list of screenshots that need to be taken in-game, and also of information that needs to be verified in-game from article pages. Add anything that you think may be amiss, and maybe someone will have time to get around to checking it out.

Screenies

• Need screenshot of a player (from third person) that is Immune (with the little white dots). A dark map (crossover?) might show up better? Dunno. Image DrSatan-12955 13:53, 14 January 2008 (CST)
• A first person screenie of a dead player with a tilted camera. Just for kicks. 4 Pics: Sniper-1- / Sniper-2- / Scout / Solly

DrSatan-12955 16:05, 14 January 2008 (CST)

• A third person screenie of a player rocket jumping Image DrSatan-12955 14:09, 14 January 2008 (CST) - Not sure where this is needed for though.
• I think we need pictures of Sg's at each level and one of a dispencer, but I would like to wait until 5316 get's his new high vis models out. DrSatan-12955 14:37, 14 January 2008 (CST)
• More? ...

• I was thinking about making pictures comparing the looks of the TFC (new/old style models), FF and TF2 models and put them in the x Player's Guide to FF. Good idea? --Hirohito 17:50, 1 January 2008 (CST)
• I think we could use an in-game picture for these sections under the Status Effects Page

Dead, Concussed, and Crippled

I tried taking a picture of me conced, but the effect doesn't translate well onto a still picture. There are no visual indications of someone being cripped besides their slow speed (which you can't show with a still or animated picture) and the icon on the side of their HUD (which can be easily used to show what being cripped is). --Hirohito 14:44, 29 January 2008 (CST

Verification and fact-checking

Do EMP's cause any metal to detonate including these:

Detonates ammunition that is deployed. E.g. Rockets in midair, deployed pipes, nails midflight, IC rockets, tranq bullets and so on.

Also, by nails midflight, does that mean nail nades nails or nailgun nails?

Other things

* AcidRenix has done a bunch of good video tutorials in this thread: http://www.fortress-forever.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13379. We should incorporate them into the relevant pages on here

Done. --Hirohito 12:32, 30 January 2008 (CST)

Stuff that needs reading for next release

• Can somebody take a few pictures of the hud with parts numbered so they can be described on the hud page? Stuff like grenade timers, build timers, status icons, flag icons, kill messages, chat messages, etc. Also one with a radial menu and various other things. We might need a class menu too if there isn't already one here.

I can't take a picture of the class menu in-game. I could do one from XFire, but there'd be a distracting watermark on it. --Hirohito 12:47, 29 January 2008 (CST)

Ok I went through and got tons of pics on the beta for this...I'll start uploading them tonight. DrSatan-12955 22:33, 2 February 2008 (CST)

* Can somebody put the placeholder images back into the top of the map pages where there are just empty titles? That way they're still semi-useful even when under construction.

Done. --Hirohito 12:47, 29 January 2008 (CST)

Category:Outdated_Pages - category for things that are made out-dated by the next patch

• I got approval from shock to get some of the new models / skins uploaded here and ready for release. I'll be working on getting that done tonight and tomorrow. DrSatan-12955 23:36, 1 February 2008 (CST)
