SCP Wiki Topics to Migrate to GitHub Wiki
on: August 15, 2015, 06:47:17 am
Hey Folks!

In an effort to make SCP and coding-related info more visible, we've decided to migrate to GitHub's wiki here. This might also reduce traffic on Hard-Light's wiki to FreeSpace related stuff.

We're looking for wiki writers interested in helping with the migration! You'll need a GitHub account in order to do any edits, however. If you don't want to register, you can still help by pestering your favorite coder with things like MarkDown files or Pastebin pastes. :D

Just to clarify, are you referring to migrating everything or just coding-related stuff?

I would assume the latter, especially given this line from the GitHub wiki's main page:

Here, we'll keep the various how-to's, tips, and tricks regarding the FreeSpace 2 Open's source code, as well as a few pointers in cross-platform design and play testing.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
