The NEW MM8BDM Wiki - Signup here!

[CutmanMike]

NEW Wiki location here!

(Old wiki here)

The MM8BDM wiki was hosted unofficially on Wikia, but has been under quite a few vandalism attacks as of late. It also has that wikia stench with style I am not too particularly fond of and ads... oh god the ads. A lot of useful information WAS on the old wiki but a lot of it was out of date anyways. So I have created a in-house wiki for people to contribute to.

As this is going to be a more controlled environment, I am not allowing just anyone to sign up and start editing. If you want an account you should PM me (CutmanMike) with the subject "Wiki signup" in the following format:

Username: <Desired Username>
Email: <Your Email address>
Notes: <Any past experience with wikis or the MM8BDM Wikia>

Your e-mail is required so I can send you a temporary password.

Please only request access if you are actually going to help in migration from the MM8BDM wikia, as that is the most important thing at the moment.

Use this topic to discuss the wiki and fill in everyone on what you want to do. Once migration is complete we can take steps to hopefully take down the mm8bdm wikia (although this isn't too likely).

Here is a list of key things that need to be copied over:

Core Information about the game
 Information about the game modes
 Weapon pages and images/icons
 Map pages and images/icons
 Item pages and images/icons
 Boss pages and images/icons
 Any other useful information.

I am not concerned about anything else just yet (such as that MASSIVE skin list, I think something better is required for that). Later on people can feel free to use the wiki for displaying information on their custom mods.

So far I have only had two people sign up. Please help out if you have time to burn. I can see who contributes what and your efforts may be rewarded with (???)!

hey, can we please have spoilers?
there is a free plugin you could use on the wiki here
it feels awkward just to put MASIVE SPOILERS as text, where people may accidentally READ what the spoiler was meant to protect.

We can get a (???) for connributing? I feel tempted but there's little i can do.

I talked to Mike about this a while back. We tried a spoiler plugin and it didn't work properly.

You can use this instead:

Code: [Select]

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
[Title, remove brackets]
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">[content here, remove brackets]</div>
</div>

Alright, thanks! Will do next time I start imports.

Any chance on a section for server admins. I could use a "how-to" for linux

Most of the server hosting stuff can be found on the Zandronum Wiki, but you might need to do some digging to find what you're looking for.

Cutstuff also had two tutorials on server hosting if you're just trying to get a server started.
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=750 - hosting in general
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=751 - port forwarding [can people see the server remotely?]

[Zero1000]

Should i register? Should i stay unregistred? I may end up doing absolutely nothing if I sign up, but that's one posibility. On the other hand, i could contribute a plenty of pages.

"the hosting in general" link you posted is for windows using the launcher built in, for my purposes thats not going to work. For the server I use at lan parties they mostly run on a version of ubuntu-server, so pretty much I can't use the launcher. I did find several good articles on the zandronum site however I didn't see anything about using custom files like the ones mm8bdm uses. If I figure out how to get a mm8bdm server working on linux I would gladly share it and post it on the wiki. If anyone knows anything about hosting a doom server on linux please post it to the wiki.

I did find this.

zandronum-server -port 10666 -iwad doom2.wad -file <extra wads/pk3s here> +sv_nojump 1 +sv_nocrouch 1 +sv_hostname "This is not a server, it's a sandwich"

I'm a tad late to this, but in any case...

If you run the program and have access to the command line's parameters, you can use those to run a server.
My knowledge of Linux is horribly limited, but that line should run the game using Doom 2 as its iwad. If that works in Linux, then you would simply need to use the following command instead:

Code: [Select]

zandronum -server -port 10666 -iwad megagame.wad -file mm8bdm-v4c.pk3 +sv_hostname "This is not a server, it's a sandwich"I don't know if the Linux port has guis for the server? If not, then you'll have to set the map list manually...which is a chore. If it does, then the map list can be set up under maps->playlist. Otherwise, you'd have to go through and use the commands "addmap MM1CUT; addmap mm1GUT" etc until you added all the maps...

I sincerely apologize as I don't use Linux, my information and guidance is limited to what I know about the Windows port.

Thanks, If i get it working I will write up something for the wiki. I just ask you guys make a spot in the wiki for server admins.

I sent in about this ages ago, but nothing happened, but

I can try to migrate the skins page over, because it is currently missing from the new wiki

[Giantmega]

Well, its been like, nearly a year since anyone posted here, but I'm running into trouble on the new wiki.

I tried bringing the InvInfoBox over from the old wiki

(click to show/hide)

This is the InvInobox 's Template used on Mega Buster's page

To the new wiki, when I tried to add it to the Mega Buster page (New wiki), some kind of text appears at the top of the page

(click to show/hide)

But, when I scrolled downwards towards the bottom of the page, the InvInfoBox appears

(click to show/hide)

Note: Most of info was added, except for the MegaBusterGif.gif since its under a different kind of name

On the old wiki it appears off to the side, and doesn't have all that weird text above. It would be helpful if I can get some tips or help on this please. Thank you.

Just wondering, are there any plans to add a page for the trophies one can earn from the single player campaign? On one hand, it is a tad overwhelming to see an empty trophy case added in a new update and to have no idea where to even start looking to find out how to earn whatever goes inside the case. But on the other hand, it's really neat how the lack of information about the game online kind of hearkens back to the olden days when you generally couldn't find information about a game and secrets were more word of mouth. 

Though I understand if the secret needs preserving, I just thought it might be nice to at some point to have a trophy page (or a sub-section on the Light Labs page) with spoiler warnings about the certain optional activities that can earn you rewards. Sort of like a strategy guide or an achievement guide of sorts.
