Ok myself and LTA from the forums, have set up a neocron wiki site, the site is currently underwraps until there is enough content to justify releasing it. I would like to invite forum members to apply to become admins to the site, which will allow you to add information and help us get the site to a decent status before we announce it officially.

If your interested in helping, and have the experience in Neocron then please PM myself with an application.

Thanks

I'd be prepared to put some work into it.
Also, could we potentially extract some nc.sxr data?

That's upto sxr if they want to allow it to be shared otherwise, you'd have to do the ingame research yourself ;)

Ive been playing since Beta 3 so ive got a pretty good knowledge of Neocron and its terminology.

I'll be happy to help out.

The nc.syn data is shared via an XML API. However, the terms of use prohibit the data from being used to create a resource site. It's designed to be used to create a skill manager or other type of application.

I wouldn't mind if things were referenced to via the API, but to use it to create virtually the same thing... I just don't see the point in that. Unless people want nc.syn's data in a different layout *shrug*

The wiki, to my understanding, is more like an encyclopedia of general things within Neocron. At least that's what I thought it was.

I thought the point of a wiki was that everyone can contribue? Otherwise, it'll just be like synergy ( which is pretty damn useful, but not a wiki )

If it was open for everyone to contribute (without having to apply/register), i think you'd get a lot more people posting their info on it. Also, that'll release the burden on you to come up with all the content or recruit enough people to do it for you. You can put in some of the content and some bored ass bastard can fill in the gaps while they're at work (like me)

The problem with a Wiki + Neocron Community is that if its open for general un-registered use you'll end up with somone thinking its funny to change stuff to shite entries....

e.g. From Penny-Arcade.

Id see it more as a neocron terminology site

Seriously, I'm the most critical person in the world (I hate every game I play, or find something wrong with it.) And I love Neocron to death...



Who lets these 12 year olds out on the internet?
