historic_bruno Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Let's replace the wikipedia's old screenshot with one of these beauties.Agreed! Should we include the 0 A.D. / WFG logos in the image? What about the UI?Here are my favorites so far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spahbod Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 They're good but I think we should include one for gameplay, and one for graphical features. Your first screenshot is good for the latter. Now we need a good gameplay screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spahbod Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Now we need a screenshot for gameplay features. A base being attacked is the best candidate IMO.Upload the new main theme from Omri's soundtrack while you're at it. Unfortunately, I couldn't upload sound files to Wikipedia. Can someone else try that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Should we include the 0 A.D. / WFG logos in the image? I'm thinking a clean and authentic image is better for an encyclopedic entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Unfortunately, I couldn't upload sound files to Wikipedia. Can someone else try that?Thanks for doing the screenshot! I uploaded Honor Bound to Wikimedia Commons, since I couldn't upload it directly to WP (I'm not a verified user yet): http://commons.wikim..._Main_Theme.ogg and I replaced the old theme on http://en.wikipedia....28video_game%29. Definitely a learning experience, using WP... (BTW one problem with replacing the old screenshot, it seems to have kept the old filename which is no longer accurate, and some of the captions and context may not be correct any more, for example here: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews_interviews_0_A.D._game_development_team) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Didn't see a topic for this yet, so I'm creating a new one. This will be where we can discuss updates/changes to 0 A.D.'s Wikipedia page(s) without cluttering other topics:http://en.wikipedia....28video_game%29http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.Let's get outdated information updated, flush out the articles, if there's anything that looks blatantly wrong, find a source and correct it. Just make sure it's all done according to Wikipedia guidelines, which differ by language and can be rather confusing.I will be moving a few off-topic posts here.

historic_bruno Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 A few quick thoughts about the English article:This seems blatantly incorrect: "Multiplayer functionality is implemented using peer-to-peer networking without a central server.[9]" I wouldn't characterize our multiplayer system as peer-to-peer, as there is a single fixed host and multiple clients, and that doesn't change during a game. Peer-to-peer would imply that if the host left for some reason, the other players would continue playing as both servers and clients. I don't know if p2p was originally planned or this was just an error in phrasing.When the new website goes live, we'll have a source for the latest minimum system requirements and other stuff I'm sure. Let's not forget to update the links to http://play0ad.com!Let's be specific about which OS versions we officially support e.g. Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8, Mac OS X 10.5+, we could perhaps mention Linux distros that officially package 0 A.D. releasesWe could mention some open-source technologies and standards we use like SDL, Spidermonkey / Javascript, wxWidgets, COLLADA, XML, JSON, etc. It doesn't even mention that the engine is written in C++, and much of the gameplay scripted in JS!We should add the distinction between part 1 (500 BC - 0 AD) and part 2 (0 AD - 500 AD), even if only to say we are currently working on part 1 and part 2 will follow with e.g. more civs and features.No mention of being SourceForge Project of the Month in June? http://sourceforge.n...potm-june-2012 ADDED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myconid Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 This seems blatantly incorrect: "Multiplayer functionality is implemented using peer-to-peer networking without a central server.[9]"Technically inaccurate, but correct in terms of everyday gaming lingo - we use p2p as opposed to a dedicated third-party server. Maybe change the link to point to the definition in the "game server" article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) About the portuguese page, i just cloned the english page, so everything the english version has, the pt version will be the same, except for the links to other pages, some articles don't exist and i sworn to myself to change those broken links for either no link or an equivalent page, once i got courage for it.

idanwin Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I made a dutch wikipedia article about 0AD:http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D._%28spel%29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcxSanya Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 (BTW one problem with replacing the old screenshot, it seems to have kept the old filename which is no longer accurate, and some of the captions and context may not be correct any more, for example here: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews_interviews_0_A.D._game_development_team)Oh, it doesn't look like a good idea to upload totally different file under the same name. I think this functionality exists to reupload an image with some adjustments (crop, slightly change colours etc.). If you want to update screenshots in an article - upload new ones (under new names) onto Commons and change links in the article.Edit:<...>http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.<...>I'm watching this one, there is more info can be added (e.g. I have vague plans to add more about bots, map types and RMS, Atlas and moddability) which I did not manage to do yet, but I keep track to have it accurate and up-to-date.

historic_bruno Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I made a dutch wikipedia article about 0AD:http://nl.wikipedia....A.D._%28spel%29Thanks! Would you be willing to replace the old screenshot with this one used in the English article? I'd do it but the description needs updating too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanwin Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I replaced the screenshot as well as adding the second one and added a translation of the "reception" section. Also mentioned the Top 100 Indie Games of 2011, these are not mentioned on the English wiki. Any reason for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabio Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I updated a little Italian wikipedia page: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_A.D.It still has a list of Next Factions and Confirmed Scenarios without any source, I also never heard of those.

leper Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I don't think that this edit is correct, as the build may have been done on 2012-09-05, but the release was done on 2012-09-07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabio Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 The changes looks good to me, eventually more content can be ported from the English page when it's stabilized . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
