Ey
I got assets that can help https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2946555235
RIP the WIP ones..
plenty of time smh
now the wiki will be incomplete foreverrrrr...
For some reason some of the logos there are gone?
I'm going to re-check and correct those
forever and forever
I think I can't edit the guide anymore since that steamid app (closed beta) got locked out
I can upload those somewhere else tho
ye what i mean is you can follow the brand visual identity from here and in-game. there is a clear style for it 
trueeee
we shall make it the best wiki ever somehow
Haha
I mean, give it about a year and fuck load more helpers and maybe someone who knows how to create mediawiki skins
You don’t want to take all the honor 
you can have all the honour
heyyy, I don't do this for recognition
Haha never meant to say you were xD
I do think its good if we do some kind of proofreading system when everything we have brewing now is finalized.
I agree
how's the gadgets/specialisations going?
"When teamed up with Cat Mom do not let her ever put this in her loadout. She will flash you with it, she cannot be trusted! " 
I’ll pick up healing beam, evasive dash and mesh shield
Haha don’t read the goo grenade in that case
haha, nice
I’m gonna work on defibs, breaching charges and explosive mines too
But not tonight, got to sleep because aussie gp tomorrow
fair enough
But worry not, its all in the works
I shall never worry when stuff is in your hands
Yeah thats how these cautionary notes appear haha
That's one of the special pages you sent right?
I need to start bookmarking them 

What does it do?
Trying to make sure we have them commented so we don't accidently nuke the style in a few months working on it 
basically for this instance that I need it: stops that from happening if I resize the window
so it moves the H3 header to the bottom of the infobox

it also allows that to happen which is not the best however as it's only H3 and used for headers, shouldn't have to worry about it 
oh god 
Alright
I have all of the code for the color changes saved just commented out
The page should be back to the white we're used too
we'll somehow get a dark theme sorted for it
with the colours of finals
guess something like this for the mean time
but modified to our use and our colours
Citizen is a beautiful, usable, responsive MediaWiki skin that makes extensions part of the cohesive experience. It was initially created for the Star Citizen Wiki but is flexible to run on various MediaWiki configurations.
If you find an issue or there is some improvements that you would like to work on, please feel free to submit patches or re...

we could use that, yeah
The problem is we'd need someone from Embark to do that
true
we would need to use the v1 version of the skin though and not the v2 as I don't think our MediaWiki version supports the newest ones as I can't seem to get it work
Version 1 looks like this though http://vps-7a93429a.vps.ovh.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
still looks nice
also being able to change the page width to your liking is interesting and works well
I wonder if we could convince Embark to give us (aka you or a CM) SFTP access to the mediawiki directory
allows us to add any extension/skins and edit the LocalSettings.php without having to annoy them
I'll ask on Monday
I can't promise anything as that is probably a giant security concern but I will inquire.
worth a shot
idk i didn’t see this. i’ll allow it 

Congrats Lorekeeper 👑

ok time to write some shit
lets go
The Evasive Dash is a light build specialization that allows the user to dash forward up to three times in short intervals allowing for quick movement, the ability to leap over longer distances and extend their travels substantially. This specialization is commonly used in combination with the Sword, but also has great use for other weapons that...
bro you forgot thing
add thing I missed
you forgot to add "will break your entire wrist trying to tracking them"
Hahahaha
ok the healing beam is a savage bit of text
The Healing Beam is a dedicated support specialization for the Medium build. It consists out of a two-handed device that emits a self-snapping beam onto an allied player within a distance of approximately 15 meters or less. The beam does constant healing to the receiver, whilst the user can stay (partially) in cover. It is notably strong with a ...
povich is cooking
nah make it the most controversial
The defibrillator is a gadget used by Medium build that has the ability to revive a teammate in less than two seconds with 50% health.
It is perfectly balanced and was retrospectively used as the inspiration for Thanos' mission to perfectly balance the universe in the Marvel Comics and MCU respectively.
🙂
it was perfectly balance
750
awesome.
ok i'm done for now
small bits each day
hehe I put it in the main chat
and I can conclude nobody read the second sentence.

Beau certainly did
@empty light we do all the wiki stuff here

ok thanks
I generally bother myself with strengths and weaknesses
check some of our other pages to get the feel for what we got going rn and feel free to write something for the cloaking device 🙂
try not to write it critically btw, its not a "feedback" page so to speak hehe
I was thinking in the future, would it be worth having the skin pictures in the table with the skin names/prices instead of a gallery?
That was my original plan but the current images are not consistent enough for it
true
thats why i hope we can get our hands on renders at some point
alright i will try to write something for the cloaking device page
have fun
when you're done, make sure to tell so we can give some feedback 😉
and compliments ofc
H3
ok thanks!
Wait 3? seems kinda small compared to the ones in the already existing pages
ah ok
the weapons pages are veryshallow so don't have alot of hierarchy (yet)
why would they put sub-heading 1 as H3, sheesh
xD
wonder if the devs thought about the manufacture of the guns (e.g. Namatama made the V9S)
hey, what do yall think about renaming the heading "Introduction" to "Setting"? https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Main_Page#Introduction
or background
I think background would be better than setting
well its based on real life guns.. so
but would Background be better than Introduction? i personally think introduction "looks" a bit off
healing beam is clearly cold war tech 
it's based on RL guns however not real names and it would feel nice lore wise if they had like weird manufactures that aren't "Kalashnikov" 
I think Background would be better than Intro
isn't that the whole reason we have M11 instead of Mac-10, LH1 instead of like M1A, so could be like OSPUZE M11
and I guess still keep the Kalashnikov AKM
and yes, I did just make OSPUZE into a gun manufacture
I know, it's just an example instead of having RL manufactures attached to the guns
great energy to fire our guns
yeah, true
how do i add a video like here ?
I just get clips of a video and yeet thme into ezgif.com to make agif out of it
of max 5 seconds
and how do i insert them
let me show
insert, image and media
then uplaod it
give it a clear name (doesnt have to be perfect but clear enough)
then just follow the instructions
alright so I think I'm gonna rename "Introduction" to "Background" on the main page. I think it flows better with the page, since technically we already have an introduction above "Introduction"
alright for some reason the video is a bit weird but everything else https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Cloaking_Device
The Cloaking Device is a light build specialization that allows the user to go invisible up to 12 seconds. While using the specialization, enemies will only be able to see a glitched form of you, making it hard for them to see you. There will also be a sound emitting from you that gets louder the faster you move, which makes it easier for enemie...
try compressing it more
i will do that when i come back i gtg now
fixed some grammar
we need to probably find a clip that also includes movement and action.
because now it just looks like your disappear.
can you use an actual video instead of a gif? gifs have HORRIBLE compression
gonna add some details one sec.
that might be an option yes, also since the sound is an important factor.
you can maybe try .gifv, which is just a .webm/.mp4
i don't know if the extension supports it though
probably easier to have an .mp4
while I think looping as in gifs is cool for e.g. ability showcases
good job though 🙂
another addition near completion 😄
not sure about the specifics of embedding it on websites, but gifs should never be used as a video format
mediawiki doesn't mention .gifv as supported, could try it out regardless, but i need to leave for now
I fucked up.
what'd you do?
#⚡┇the-finals-chat clearly said something to enable some folks to go rogue
The TimedMediaHandler extension allows you to display audio and video files in wiki pages, using the same syntax as for image files.
It includes the VideoJS Player.
There is support for subtitles and captions (aka Timed Text) and real time stream switching between multiple WebM and other derivatives and many other features.
TMH server side suppo...
we already have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo
The EmbedVideo extension adds a parser function called #ev for embedding video clips from over 24 popular video sharing services in multiple languages and countries.
It also adds video and audio media handlers to support transforming standard [[File:Example.mp4]] file links into embedded HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags.
Project Homepage
Docum...
so some white names are basically completely missing the point of the wiki as we are building it and want to build a fandom/wiki.gg page
sorry beau.. didn't expect .. this
Don't take it too much on yourself to be concerned with that. We've added our official wiki links to both #👋┇welcome and #📌┇faq to ensure everyone is aware it exists.
The reason this chat is higher role locked is to avoid a large amount of off topic and non-contribution that could stress you guys more than assist you for the time being as we figure things out.
at the point where he wrote he worked at fandom, I stopped typing instantly xd
We don't like gatekeeping or community in any way, I say it wholeheartedly, but we're trying to ensure everyone is comfortable as well!
Not the first person to arrive asking for us to change wikis and will not be the last.
I dont think theyre the same thing
If you need help with the video when you get back just lmk. We've got a way of doing it and I'll help you with it 
I'm doing good
do we have any Sawed-off Shotgun/ sword and SA1216 skins anywhere
does anyone have a clean clip of:
- Breaching charges used
- Healing beam used
- Cloaking device in action (without chatter/music)
i can go look
I should've recorded all my playing sessions 😢
My clips are all.. well..
I got a explosive mine clip but its not "normal"
let me poop out the gif
I have this one
its from andypty we can ask if we can use it
we should of recorded more 
perfect clip!
lets go
most of my clips have music in the background
I might still have a clip of the cloaking device not sure though will check when i get home
or something like this for cloaking
that looks good
nice, I can actually use this without making it a gif xD
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Breaching_Charge @sweet locust 
breaching charge skins when
it's a shame it only shows a still frame unless you click on the gif
is there a plug in for that?
looks like it's a limitation of just MediaWiki as it says "Note: Due to technical limitations, thumbnails of high resolution GIF images such as this one will not be animated. "
we could change this setting though by the looks of it https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxAnimatedGifArea
this is another alternative modern webplayer extension, could be a possible solution. but that would mean adding another extension or maybe even replacing the current player extension
I would say we steal https://github.com/StarCitizenWiki/mediawiki-extensions-EmbedVideo considering it's basically forked original EmbedVideo however slight improvements like being able to autoplay + loop videos and muting them
yeah gifs suck
not sure why we started on 1.35 unless MediaWiki has been installed for quite a while
whos even hosting the server?
Embark
ah ok
i think i got a decent one for healing beam
we have been cooking
NICE!
did you like my description of your GIF xD
haha did I now?
@shell mauve how's this
https://img.guildedcdn.com/ContentMediaGenericFiles/d9bb3b7e978d5ee8769980789c6ff3e4-Full.mp4
lmao
... I don't think I can cut a piece out of that that can hide my disappointment
I was hopeing for something a bit more straight forward and ideally.. something that ended in victory haha
its all fun and games until you see 3 mediums healing each other
i won a tourney like that once
better(?) clip for healhttps://img.guildedcdn.com/ContentMediaGenericFiles/306a0c2850000d82e80465b45dac177f-Full.mp4
so many healers in that clips 
💀
Both these clips are perfect
I’ll cut them so it doesn’t look derpy OP
The cloak clips are perfect, will probably mash them up
I have one or two clips of evasive dash if also needed
I got one but sharing is caring
dashy McDash
thats me
damn that really covered a long distance
Is that still possible in the current version?
Because “air resistance” was increased to avoid certain exploits
Any of the clips without the top code I can’t say if its current mechanic
i mean is dashing 3 times in the air really an exploit
besides this was post movement nerf
1 day after the nerf and 2 days before the dash sound bug was fixed
dashing 3 times in the air wasn’t an exploit afaik
– there was even a Contract (challenge) about it
Also add that anything can change between last patch and next beta or release
But I would say yeah stick to content that was at the latest patch if possible
okay i thought so cuz i was so confused
the three dashes weren't the exploit, there was an unrelated exploit that made people fly far away
it might be that the extreme FOV makes it look like it is leaping way further
you mean prop surfing?
and some other things yeah
should have used this
damage to enviroment:** 0**
better to use in-game footage than trailers for this type of thing, imo
HAHAHAHHA
i mean the clip in there
There is a clip in there SPEAR
how can you not see it xD
the breach charge bit is a player clip xD
can someone add these to the cloacking device? I can't seem to get it to work
that first clip is DIRTY haha
it does show it best though
i agree - that's how powerful Cloak can be
we have clip of a bug somewhere @past current also shows some great moment right there.. TRAUMAS
Updated the breaching charge
wait what..
I hope not with the full trailer ey
ah I see
one second I'm gonna rephrase that a little because you make it sound like it's a guarantee xD
good point though, Magica!
@past current ready to relive it?
@subtle quest come join us
lmao
ohhh that 🥹
guys look at the score...
i had something like that happen to me on the moving platform thing
notice there are only 2 teams
wait what
nono, not funny
ooo that would be annoying af 
you poor people
would be.. THAT HAPPENED D:
also updated the infobox style to see what it looks like https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/V9S
Thats like #📂┇the-finals-wiki message but worse
looks good
I like that
someone should add proximity sensors
@shell mauve You need to upload videos via this link #📂┇the-finals-wiki message
Then do this:
[[File:*FILE_NAME_HERE*.mp4|thumb|400x200px|*Caption Here*]]
where you putting it?
nvm it worked

second video is having issues >.,
nice they're both in ❤️

dunno what that was about..
the lh1 clip seems to take forever to load
I think its really cool my dude, but its not a wiki thing
Sorry it wasnt intended to advert it
to be fair though, nice skins from what I've seen
Since I'll be using the wiki I tought y'all might be interested!
Would it be possible to AI enhance the pictures then upload them on the wiki?
Instead of having a 1200x800 pictures y'all could ai enhance it to x2/x3
Just an idea
wdym upload them on the wiki? you mean the screenshots we have or the skins you're making?
Don’t make me relive it
The screenshots
As of right now, the screenshots are low-quality 1200x700, or some like that
Let me show you
This the SC on the wiki
1200x600
This is an enhance version of it
most of the screenshots we use aren't taken by us, or well, have been taken 2 weeks ago
If you open in browser you'll see the differences
I don't think they need to be enchanced because they are already quite sizeable and it doesnt add value to us. I understand that it does to you because you are designing new skins for m
Yeah I guess you are right, let's also not speak about the size of the file if you do it for each and every weapon
and the AI enhancements kinda destroy the text I see haha
Yeah
Also, in terms of the one on the wiki, it depends on the image, but they are usually larger than 1200x700
it's only limited to 1200 width for consistency sake in the gallery
if you click the image, it should show bigger as the M11 one is actually 1,959 × 1,023 (https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/File:M11_standard.png)

Beau.. he hurt my feelings :c

I'm gonna listen to it again RIGHT NOW AND DIAL IT TO 11!
what did I miss
werent opinions
what they say?
Not sure whats the deal here, but if we're not using the chat to contribute with the wiki and specially to make inflammatory comments, I'll have to kindly ask you to stop 
but yeah no
anyway, back to wiki business
I'll add the dash thing
I think its the fov that made it look really far
do we know who made the fandoms wiki?
what
ahhh

this was made in september, hmm
latest updates were recent in late March
I added the fail


gotta admit he works fast haha
he has different stats than us though..
for the guns?
we'll get the real stats and everything from hopefully legmek when he's back from the weekend
we can factcheck with the devs thats something he can't.
I kinda wanna bother esbjorn to make something custom for the wiki haha
what job is esbjorn in at embark?
Wizard
ooo
Esbjörn is a very good artist
Same 
ill change it
Haha I mean that's what rob would say too
@astral raft we're appreciating your work, feels weird not to let you know so a singular ping (apologies in advance)
but there are edits from 2022
hmm i see
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Evasive_Dash omg this is starting to get chaotic
The Evasive Dash is a light build specialization that allows the user to dash forward up to three times in short intervals allowing for quick movement, the ability to leap over longer distances and extend their travels substantially. This specialization is commonly used in combination with the Sword, but also has great use for other weapons that...
I'm just gonna note this down as.. temporary
maybe we should limit it to like 1 - 2 gifs per page unless it turns out to be a super long page 
well ideally we just combine all three gifs into one
but I am A. too lazy to install photoshop and B. the tool I use because I'm a lazy bum.. doesn't allow me to stitch the gifs
so see this is a temporary solution
fair
you and me, we are the same
hehe, good
I might change the table style, it looks like a W98 table design
i'll see later if we can make this look better by embedding the gifs in a different way
cool
yay or nay?
I like it
Finals Black
red for reference
I don't hate it
ketchup and mustard
yeah, looks better with white text than the black text I had before
anyway red, yellow or finals black? or just white
is that white
or The Finals™️ white
⚪ 
Just white, just transparent
black
we're not there yet Blank 🙂
but keep an eye out because we aren't far off it!
Bet
there's multiple people thinking about the design (hell I might also when everything gets together but I stopped working as a graphic designer for a reason haha)
talkin about the site page?
ye i’m not gonna even enter that territory

haha well.. I'm kinda like.. "when in rome"
Does anyone have footage of them using the mesh shield?
Cool cool, I'll set the css aside for later and work on content pages in a bit
I might not be the Loremaster but I'm definitely something xD
currnetly writing the Explosive Mine page
master copywriter if you ask me

Truee
HA
I found out..
we're missing a gadget
the........ Frag grenade.
I just don't remember if its exclusive to a build
Frag grenade ?
yes
Ah, goddamn it your message never showed up before I sent mine
I think the frag grenade is for all builds
I'm 99% sure I remember it on light and medium
ok I'll just.. leave it there
we'll check it later
so who wants to pitch the RPG xD
I think it's fine and I mained light
I know of a pretty sweet RPG clip that @real stirrup has 
show me

Project: RPG MY BELOVED
A light's best friend.
God doesn't exist.
I thought this is my house.
I should really check in on this wiki thing. Haven't been there since we made it 😅
great clip.. but the light ruined it with the cloak :c
AHAHHA
most of it is pretty good
some of it is.. don't worry about it
Specializations are in a pretty good place, most weapons are getting a decent body
gadgets are a lil.. yea
the Lh1 page is pretty much perfect
especially the caption.
you ever get that feeling of deja vu?
that place, as you know.. is nightmare fuel
Yo I absolutely despise when it spawns UNDER the elevator
I dont
I think its amazing
I hope they don't change that, no joke
just goo it up
my friend Lightning
loves being a bad teammate
these are all the clips she shares
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046182972665102366/1084491098354888704/Free_Medical_Supplies.mp4 I got a good one for the turret.
this is prepatch turret btw
The location is fine. I just wish it was easier to tell it's that spot and not in the elevator. Cost us a couple winds because we ran out of time looking for the damn thing haha
I feel ya
Like when I'm carrying the casbox if the Cashout gave off a perioic pulse that reveals the surrounding wireframe that would be mega helpful
got 2 more so far in the same recording but they got some chatter and back ground noise xd
audio streams got mixed :/
ok so we still need to do 4 specializations. I'll gladly rewrite/adjust and whatever, but I don't have the content knowledge, so someone else needs to first do that bit.. If you guys can work on these, use one of the other specializations to get an idea. Thanks 😉
- Light: Grappling hook (don't have experience with it)
- Medium: Guardian Turret (not enough meaningful gameplay on my end either
- Medium: Recon Senses (didn't use)
- Heavy: Goo Gun (I know ya'll used this a lot)
thisi s noice!
i have one surviving recording of me playing goo gun
but i never used it the entire round
💀
submission for turret
imma be honest
this was before i knew exactly how to play against them pre nerf 💀
I stuck with cloaking on my light basically the whole time 
that enemy just kindly dropping you a cash crate
I've had a similar instance happen but I couldn't clip it cause shadowplay was a bitch
Dude failed to shoot it into the cashout cause their team had no extra mobility to deal with floating platforms
I haven't really used the grapple so this is all I got so far https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Grappling_Hook
The grappling hook is a light build specialization that allows users to navigate the game's different arenas with increased mobility. These arenas feature tall buildings, narrow streets and various obstacles that players can overcome using the grappling hook. The grappling hook can be used to reach high places, cross gaps, and escape danger quic...
These image buttons are awesome
yeah, @lapis kindle did some great graphics
I love it
rn got nothing I can think of that I would change haha
I would've written the same thing with the sniper haha

I guess maybe integrate the massive bamboozles that Seoul brings with them specifically
made a start on https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Guardian_Turret however needs a fuck load more info considering I've never used it
The guardian turret is a medium build specialization which allows players to deploy a stationary, automated device that fires at enemies. It can be placed on walls, floor and even ceilings and has a detection line-of-sight of 180°* unless attacked from behind.
good stuff to you too
It is quite a long distance one. Maybe one hitting a building at mid range would be better?
I have completely no idea about Recon Senses nor Goo gun so gonna leave them alone
Goo Gun ❤️
i made some mine traps with it on Monaco at the cashout station on the map border (with the vertical moveable walls) 
APS Turret is a medium build exclusive gadget which can be placed down to destroy any projectiles that enter its vicinity. Once deployed, the APS Turret will remain in place until it has been destroyed by other players or picked up by the deployer. It's basically the trophy system from COD but without a projectile limit.
I'm done for tonight
night bud
the info box description though
"Player attempting to place a turret" 💀
😂

the wiki looking so nice
Who added my clip 💀 you have to delete that when the game comes out
Cause it will probably be fixed
Worry not, I keep track of all the things we should probably not leave im there.. like all the cautionary notes
Omg.. that clip shows nothing about the turret 
No it does
Wtf
light's best friend 
The notes should remain
Haha I don’t think cat mom and my friend lightning would agree
Problem?
no
have you seen the riot shield one
Haha no
go check
I am enjoying my cafecito
i only speak facts
Nah

Yeah we need a better clip
i can go looking
If was only there for a joke anyway xD
yeah i cant find much
man i wish yukiotzu had the sawed and sa12 skins
im malding 
here is the rpg kill in a bit higher quality. no sound though because i was screaming and laughing 
pog
nice kill
but the screaming and laughing is the best part :(
at least we only need Goo Gun and Recon Senses to do for specializations now
and quite a lot more gadgets
we're missing one more gadget if I am correct
I don't think the cooldown on dash is really a weakness
that's kinda like saying cloak cd is long when you completely drain it
yeah, we're missing the sonar grenade for mediums, oops
with cloak though you can still use it even if you completely drained it and just wait for a portion of it to come back. With evasive if you want all 3 charges, gotta wait for a bit
eh idk
The Dome Shield is an exclusive gadget for heavy builds in which the player can throw down a large protective barrier. This creates a spherical shield that allows the player and their teammates to enter, providing valuable protection in combat.
I beleive it can be moved though.. or did they remove that?
I think the size got smaller to make it less pwoerful
I think it got nerfed and couldn't be moved anymore
ah good shit
during the alpha I believe the dome shield was a specialization for.. mediums?
I can't remember shit from the alpha, only managed to play like 3 hours of it and I spent most my time with a healing station as a medium 
"can throw down a large protective barrier. This creates a spherical shield that allows the player and their teammates to enter, providing valuable protection in combat. "
i think it should say: The barrier allows the player and their teammate to shoot through it whilst preventing enemy fire
since it doesn't allow just the ally team to pass enter and leave
true
maybe call it large and intangible barrier instead?
barrier already implies protecting something
"can throw down a spherical shield that allows the player and their teammates to shoot through it whilst preventing enemy fire."
gets rid of the barrier bit considering if we just say barrier then people be thinking of like a wall
or just shorten it down to that yeah
you can make the change as it's basically your writing edit and get some more edits on your profile 😛
I played a bunch of fantasy games and league and barrier usually brings an idea of a translucent protective object to me
unless we make it instead of "spherical shield" we change it to "360 barrier"
technically its a hemisphere
it's not an entire sphere?
hes not wrong
Was the dome shield breakable
I don't think so
i dont remember
better than winton
only had a time limit but I can't remember how long it was
might just be me but it's not loading xd
yeah, gifs are limited to a single frame most the time
you have to click on the image for it to play
we are gonna be like gremlin when the game opens up again
just gathering as much info as possble
taking screenshots of every possible screen and every item
my ass gonna stay in the practice range as per usual lmaooo
and then i can finally add the sawed off shotgun skins and the sa12 skins so my ocd can finally go away
I'm hoping we can somehow get the models for guns and alike
then we can make the images as consistent as possible
yeah tbh we could probably get all of this if we asked the devs but it just seems like a bother for them
yeah, might get Nate to ask the devs or someone for gun stats if legmek doesn't see my ping from Friday/Saturday
he probably missed it
povich the dome shield was breakable i just wanna confirm
I would ping him again but I don't like spam pinging people
yeah .. right? xD

i didnt last long enough as a medium to see if it could break
I would assume it probably had the same health as the mesh shield
if it did have health
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i feel like it had less
no one knows
no problem
drink more coffee
I am
iv that shit
I'll just slowly be trying to do pages and hopefully get some more gadgets out the way
my coffee machine is crippled.. already tried to clean it and partially disassembled it..
got some of the worst shi out of it by flushing it continuously
go back to the old fashioned days and make coffee with kettle
lets not haha

my better judgement just kicked in
just now yeah?
same brother
does look like people are confusing the dome shield with the mesh shield
fair
povich u wanna play doors
also dumb question how do i add pages to the wiki i could write the gas grenades
I just edit the gadgets source and add [[ ]] on the end of the word like [[Gas Grenade]]
save it and then it makes a link to the page and you can create from there
good luck, don't die on streets
im going into customs
but there's usually no loot there on a scav
i have all the stashes memorized
yes dome shield was breakable afaik

you happen to have a clip of it breaking
bruh unlucky i spawned into a raid with 30 minutes left
doors?
yeah the roblox game
where you have to go through 100 doors without dying, it is kinda a horror game
dude.. how old do you think I am
I only edit using the "Edit source", just easier for me
lol I don't do that because I tend to break things if I go too deep
Im at work and can’t really follow the chat but if y’all need me hit up my discord dms
Anything I can do to help I’ll do it
sure thing!
will do 🙂
we're mostly filling up the massive backlog of gadgets
can we keep this
Its accurate no?
Do we known the exact number of damage dealt for a grenade?
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Gas_Grenade thoughts on this
The Gas Grenade is a grenade that releases toxic gas on detonation, Its great for clearing out rooms or blocking off entrances, notably it can be also usefully to get people off a Cashout if that situation arises.
Maybe include it
Good description!
Also, although it’s greatly said in the gas grenade tab, I’d advise y’all to maintain a neutral opinion. The way the META was during CBT (blocking doors with a gas) it’s a good strat, but if y’all start to include every possible strat it’ll be a linear experience for the players.
As for myself I love to have the title « Meta Breaker » so, if 50% players put gas grenade on a door and expect nobody to push because it’s « meta » I’m pushing through that gas and killing you
Simply a constructive criticism
Let’s say Embark release a mask gadget where you can walk through the gas, y’all going to have to change that description just because of that
Your personal opinion of a « strat » will never be approved by 100% of the players. That said, if a player reads the website and sees « do this occurring X scenario, you should be good » if it doesn’t work, he might discredit the wiki for that simple reason
Doing Devils Advocate work here but I just want everything to be perfect for you guys and I don’t want any of y’all to have a backlash regarding the wiki
i don't particularly think gas grenade is even good at blocking entrances
There’s our proof of what I’m saying
Only take 1 player to discredit a whole wiki
i mean, good at blocking entrances against cloaks ig but that's probably it
i just think it's mid overall tbh
See now lettuce ain’t stupid and he ain’t going to scream that the wiki is trash because of one single thing, but some others will do
That’s a backlash you do not want
Because all the works y’all are doing will be reversed and nobody will use it, got to be the most neutral possible
Maybe have a section called Strat? Where you could describe different ideas and now then it could be perfect to include scenarios and strats, also could have author name talking about the X strat, that way it doesn’t discredit the wiki
I don’t mean to be an annoying « Karen » here, just seeing the other side of the medal
This is how you wrote it:
The Gas Grenade is a grenade that releases toxic gas on detonation, Its great for clearing out rooms or blocking off entrances, notably it can be also useful to get people off a Cashout if that situation arise
You coulda phrased it like this to clear the wiki name:
The Gas Grenade is a grenade that releases toxic gas on detonation, some players during the CBT noted that it was a great way to clear out rooms or blocking off entrances, notably, the reviews also said it can be useful to get people off a Cashout if that situation arise
I'm not adding CBT to it
Maybe CBT ain’t the right way to phrase it
I ain’t trying to be mean here, just want y’all names to be cleared if any backlashes happen
Also, do we have the damage tick for it? We could include that
At the moment it's mostly wip
yeah they be kinda just laying down foundations atm
We have very and I mean very limited information on stuff
Most of what we write is based off memory
we aren't going to mention reviews
not in the literal sense
thats even more work
you could write, "there are some who believe it lacks some effectiveness to achieve what it is designed for"
you don't limit it to CBT or call it reviews because that is basically an ever changing thing
Yes I think its the best way! Sorry im native French!
we have to keep adjusting it anyway
also have to consider the amount of people (or lack thereof) who are actually going to this wiki to grab some info
there practically isn't any
I've just done this so they know that anything in the loadout section is subject to change
See it as a guide for new players
Instead of disclaiming that on every page inside of it 
I think it'll be used!
rather than saying it is great, which it might be, I dunno, you could say "it is designed with x in mind." that said we also need to make sure people don't avoid weapons because we try to be too direct. we can fluff it up as long as it is not a lie.
Yeah, thats why I was saying being neutral, if you tend to say this is great for x reasons, you put the wiki on the spot
the wiki is still low on content, we jsut started building it 😉
Cause if it gets patched, you will have to change it, every patches
Also, maybe, include a section called Patch notes?
well that is why we discuss most of these points 😉
we have to agree on its position at this time
I wouldn't say it needds to be neutral, it just needs to be agreed upon it being something at this current moment.
I too write slightly biased, I do try to keep it somewhat neutral, but i do want to give my experience some room
I think for the moment we should just objectively say what the gadgets can do
Of course, players in general have to know this has been made by players, and not embark itself
Altough it looks like its supervised by Embark
supported
Sorry my english isn't really good lol
Goo Grenades/Goo Guns are good for creating cover but are extremely flammable.
Gas Grenades are good for area denial but are also flammable.
I think that is not doing any of them justice. people want to understand the experience of it that is why we yeet in adjectives and adverbs and giving examples.
this is also why I didn't write the stuff I didn't play
I don't mean just putting that in 
I think the discussion already been talked about but, will y'all put a gif for every gadgets?
not necessarily
Also, I could translate the wiki in french, if that actually helps
I don't think we're gonna do much translation until closer to the games release
Oh for sure
So we don't have you translating a page that gets rewritten
Yeah, makes sense
you're not the first one to offer that btw ;x
Also, is there any ways to see via Steamcharts where most of the players were playing?
It could be a good way to know what language to focus
If only 5% of the CBT were from France, it shouldn't be a top priority thing
to be fair though, if anyone "disagrees" with a page, they are always allowed to change it anyway
I think localization isn't about how many of who did what, its about the general necessity of the information being in a language.. French people seem to not be able/want to read English.
whereas if I were to translate everything to Dutch.. it would.. be a waste of my time.
because Dutch people can/should be able to read English just fine.
povich you can speak dutch?
I mean tbf even if you think so, someone else likely doesn't so the localization will come either way
I can speak Dutch yes
Overall question for y'all, do we know if there is any ways to find a squad related to your rank in the game before actrually joining a game?
thats cool
Let's say ''Looking for a Light V9S that can lurk''
nope its random
Oof
egg.. egg indeed
there wasn't an in game solution at CBT so yeah, no
also I don't think they'll make matchmaking so detailed
LFG
TBH I can see a major E-sport potential for the game
there is a LFG channel or was
Well that's a good start!
there was a LFG section for your respective continent
I had something like this in mind https://teamfind.com/counter-strike/lobby
The largest CSGO team and player finding website. Find and play with the best players now!
I come from CS:GO right, so, I might be biased
But having a tool that can search FA, have your stats included, create teams, etc.
isn't that run by a 3rd party anyway?
Yeah!
Just trying to know where Embark sits, in terms of gameplay no games really feels/looks like TF. In the same branch tho I guess you could say: Overwatch/CS/RB6
that exists in other games as well, just not related to the Wiki - though it can be referenced
Yeah, it could be a good side-projects, just pitching an idea
Maybe I could do a separate discord, that way you get a player-base that wants e-sports
Do we know if private match will be a thing?
Yeah, I tought maybe the CBT gave us a glimpse of private matches
perhaps in a later play test (or after release)
Yeah, I mean, I couldn't see a reason why it wouldn't be a thing
well, there could be reasons we don't know - from a technical standpoint
just saying patience is key above all
Oh for sure
@lone monolith don't forget to ask about SFTP 
Skeleton having the time of his life
It would be great for the wiki also to have image assets in png
Would wildly increase the traffic and visits per day
If 25% of that visit actually checks the wiki for infos after they've got their png, it would be good
you mean like guns with transparent backgrounds and shit?
Yeah
Usually Embark should have the assets
If not inside the game files you can prob find them
It's more that we would need to ask Embark for the files
that's something that'll be easy to do once the game is released, imo
Oh yeah, it's not a huge deal for them, if not it can wait, it'll be in the game files anyways
I've had a look in the playtest folder, it's basically all just encrypted pak files
We're still waiting on an answer regarding this, we'll update you guys when we have it 
Oh, then we'll have to ask the team about it
Thanks Beau ❤️
once the game is actually out, it'll make stuff 100x easier to do with the wiki
fr
but for now, it's currently going well and looking good
You're all legends and it makes my tiny heart warm to see how gorgeous the wiki is looking
i think the assets are server sided i wouldnt be surprised
do you want a banner for it?
It would be appreciated 
np, with the Loadout or Socials format tho?
Loadout. I suspect I'm gonna have to mess around with how we lay out the easter egg section after Tier1 is done.
we could always add a tabbing extension
tabs within a wiki page, part 1 | part 2 | part 10000
agreed. as it expands that would be very helpful
A MediaWiki extension that allows wiki to create tabs. - GitHub - StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-TabberNeue: A MediaWiki extension that allows wiki to create tabs.
amazingly starcitizen tools forked it 
they seem to have forked and modified A LOT of extensions
unless i beat you to it
jk im tired lmao
we should also make the text white so its like a hidden page and its just NamaTama
don't beat around the bush too much xD
I get that my writing is longwinded but this is very intense xD
proof
wdym proof?
proof
don't worry, I was about to make it and then I got shot by "I need a rest from starring at white pages" 
when we adding color to wiki besides white
my eyes are starting to hurt
I'm hoping if we (Kyne or CM) gets access to SFTP for the directory then we can just upload a dark version
like DarkVector or StarCitizen Skin v1 (as v2 only works on the latest mediawiki install)
Star Citizen skin yeah? isn't that baked to have the blue/bluegreen colors?
we need the THE FINALS colors
we can change it, most of the colour variables for the skin are in a 1-2 files
luke thats it ive decided we are now beefing
idk
You'd probably need to ask Bear about it
😮 bear!?
arent we all
Also maybe we can get an update to 1.39 
Lastly, there we go, star citizen skin with Finals black for the background
yeah
the rest is gucci
that's easy to do
can't believe we're using Star Citizen stuff to spice stuff up hehe
Usually I'd forward it but I'm a bit out of my league on wiki things 
pretty much the opposite of Embark's vision
we are evolving
gamewise not design
obviously, can't imagine them not having some kind of mutual respect..
http://vps-7a93429a.vps.ovh.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page there you go, slightly lighter infobox
I bet Rob and Christ Roberts had coffee atleast once in their lifetimes..
make the lines red
on the table?
yes
no
what am i looking at and why is it so cool
please
the test wiki for testing purposes
neato
there you go @sweet locust
