Title: Great SCP Feature List
Post by: Flaser on June 24, 2005, 07:20:32 pm

Pretty self-explanatory title.
This is for coders to list each and every single feature.
This could be the first step in familiarizing everyone with them, and could act as a backbone/reference for the wiki.

Well good luck with that.  I think you'd be better off encouraging people to update the Wiki.

(BTW a Wiki upgrade is in progress, so you'd be even better off waiting for that first.)

I think that's cutscenes.

Anyway I'm closing this.  Documentation should be in the readme or the Wiki, both of which are in the process of being upgraded.  Having it in the forum is just messy.
