Wiki feedback

Hi,

I was looking for input buffering in the Wiki section and was surprised to find it under "Controls". I've been through the wiki section before except controls because I thought it was only going to be press A for guard, this direction to move, etc... but it turned out to have much more in there. Anyone think it should be renamed so it doesn't look like it only contains "press this button for this"?

No, I think it's fine as it is. "Controls" is a very general heading under which all basic information for controlling a character should be. It's not only about what to enter, but when and how to enter certain commands.

If anything, I'd expect "Controls" to precede the "Attacks" category. Perhaps a logical, rather than alphabetical, ordering should be considered.

 

It would be nice if the VF4 wiki could be listed under 5FS on the site's banner

 

Lately I've watched US gamers playing and streaming VF5FS via Parsec - a setup that could theoretically allow for VF4 online. So an easier access to the VF4 wiki is not an unreasonable suggestion.

However before linking the VF4 wiki we would have to fix some issues:

• Links to the old forums, which are now broken due to the forum upgrade (e.g. "Dealing with Everyday BS" by CreeD). Requires a little sleuthing to find the thread again and then update the link.
• Pages that use emoticons for buttons and directional inputs, which are also broken due to the forum upgrade (e.g. "ARE and VIP in FT" by Myke) I know this is this is doable with a bit of coding because when the forum upgrade took place I made a macro for Libre Office and manually run some of my old posts through it and now the correct inputs appear (notice how my post shows up correctly in this thread while the other posts are garbled). Myke can surely find a way to fully automate the process.
• Pages that are missing altogether (e.g. "System Memorandum" by hiro) No clue what's happened there, this will probably require Myke to dive into his hard drive backups.

But yeah, the wiki was super useful back in the day! Brings back memories indeed!!

 

I'm used to mediawiki markup so I dunno how hierarchy works with xenforo. But yeah, even a Legacy pulldown menu with links to old VFs resources would be super helpful. As Erdraug mentioned, playing VF4 via Parsec or VF3 with Nulldc Bear has made it really easy to netplay old VF games and finding good tech for these games is difficult atm.

 

Just wanted to share this tweet. This person is the admin of both SRK and Mizuumi wikis, might be worth asking some stuff in preparation for VF5US.

 

I don't think they suggested a merger but the fact is that wikis have come a long way since 2012. Wavu is doing cool things for Tekken and perhaps the Xenforo-based wiki here could use some cosmetic or backend updates. I think that's where they were getting at.

 

There are some dead embedded videos in Goh starting guide by midi. These are in section 3,4,5,6,7.Should these be removed, so that they don't clutter the page or should they just stay there? They also don't seem to be working in the source, so I don't know if you can recover the videos.

P.S Hope this the right place to ask about this if you want the message somewhere else I can put it there

 

Felt like it might be a good time to add VF4 now that all versions have been officially been added to Fightcade. I know it's a ton of work but if you need outside collaborators just let us know.
