Help Typo thread

Postby Botef » Tue Jun 27, 2006 3:53 pm

I think a thread for Help file typos like the CODE and AREAS threads would make reporting them a lot easier while not filling up peoples mmail.

Have anyone seen what Duris have made. I think its pretty awesome, not sure if players contribute though.

http://duris.game-host.org/wikiduris/in ... /Main_Page

This would solve a lot of issues.

The main problem with help as I see it is that the counter references isn't fixed when a coder makes something. E.g. when the Yuan-ti was introducted it was never added as a valid class to "help illu" (just an example).

this means that players today need to write "commands" instead of "help commands" in order to learn how to play the game.

That duris wiki is pretty slick. Any comments on this from staff? I suppose with the Toril 2.0 announcement spending significant amounts of time updating help files is probably a wasted effort if they will just be obsolete in a few months.
