Garry's Mod Wiki Discussion - Developers

What about that ? (Old screenshot as you can see) [IMG]http://puu.sh/21SQU[/IMG]

[QUOTE=garry;39876366]If you want a function def post in here and I will fill it out as best I can[/QUOTE] A "I want a definition" button would work better, people probably just go to the wiki, find out it's not defined and go to the cache one instead. Without reading this thread.

[QUOTE=Lapin_b0t;39876424]What about that ? [/QUOTE] -Sweet, sweet justice-

Sweet jesus , ARE YOU Inspector Gadget ??? EDIT : Love you too

[QUOTE=Lapin_b0t;39876600]Sweet jesus , ARE YOU Inspector Gadget ???[/QUOTE] It's called having a good memory.

Btw , i'm not the only one using an ALT account because my First was perma-banned.

[QUOTE=garry;39874476]Do you find yourself looking at the function list only wanting to see client/server functions?[/QUOTE] as someone who is not learned in gmod lua functions i find it quite confusing to just have everything there with no explanation as to where its meant to be used etc wth guys stop shitposting

[QUOTE=Kwaq;39876728]as someone who is not learned in gmod lua functions i find it quite confusing to just have everything there with no explanation as to where its meant to be used etc wth guys stop shitposting[/QUOTE] What do you want me to do? Spend all my time filling in the wiki?

[QUOTE=garry;39879436]What do you want me to do? Spend all my time filling in the wiki?[/QUOTE] Can you create an official ask for functions thread or something? I'll happily fill out functions if I don't have to weed through irrelevant shitpost.

how does html panals work in gmod 13 functions that were usefull got removed / went POOF.

[QUOTE=>>oubliette<<;39880731]Can you create an official ask for functions thread or something? I'll happily fill out functions if I don't have to weed through irrelevant shitpost.[/QUOTE] I don't understand. Just fill in stuff in your freetime. You shouldn't have to be asked to fill in a specific thing.

Isn't there a category which lists all the functions that need filling in anyway? [editline]12th March 2013[/editline] [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:Incomplete_Functions[/url]

[QUOTE=Kidd;39881329]I don't understand. Just fill in stuff in your freetime. You shouldn't have to be asked to fill in a specific thing.[/QUOTE] My free time is limited and I want to be as useful as possible in this time.

[QUOTE=>>oubliette<<;39881636]My free time is limited and I want to be as useful as possible in this time.[/QUOTE] Then fill out the most common or used functions and hooks, let the 'asking feature' be for random unused stuff.

I have nothing to do this week, I'll look through and fill out what I can.

[QUOTE=garry;39879436]What do you want me to do? Spend all my time filling in the wiki?[/QUOTE] i was just referring to the client server shared thing :-)

[QUOTE=>>oubliette<<;39880731]Can you create an official ask for functions thread or something? I'll happily fill out functions if I don't have to weed through irrelevant shitpost.[/QUOTE] Why don't you create one? Why do I have to do everything?

Dear Garry, Thanks for doing all the work for us. Sincerely, Me.

How about this. If I have to look something up, I'll document it in the wiki. I think if other people do the same, it'll get everything filled in soon enough.

[QUOTE=Agent766;39899051]How about this. If I have to look something up, I'll document it in the wiki. I think if other people do the same, it'll get everything filled in soon enough.[/QUOTE] That would be very very much appreciated. In the mean-time I'll write a bot to steal information from the web/source to try to fill out as much as possible.

How do I edit forms? The function form needs an additional notes field.

[QUOTE=Lexic;39944735]How do I edit forms? The function form needs an additional notes field.[/QUOTE] Has been asked before, iirc garry said any "additional notes" should just go in the description bit.

How about See Also? That was a useful section.

I was thinking it would be nice to have a `code snippet` category.. so that people can post useful code snippets - instead of full blown tutorials.. anyone think that might be a good idea? Kinda like this but on a wiki [url]http://snippets.luacode.org/[/url]

[QUOTE=garry;39957864]-words-[/QUOTE] This would be really nice if you could click a function or hook and if there was a snippet including that function/hook you could hit show example and it would show you a real world example of how to use it. When I was learning basic lua I would find my self searching others code for real world examples, just so I could get my head around it if I didn't understand.

Someone should add more links to the main page, like a "hooks" link or something.

If github has some form of code search feature it could use that instead (or [url]www.glua.me/bin[/url])

[QUOTE=Agent766;39899051]How about this. If I have to look something up, I'll document it in the wiki. I think if other people do the same, it'll get everything filled in soon enough.[/QUOTE] I agree, I'll hop on this, too. At least that way, I'll have something to do when I've got nothing else productive to do.

Do you think it would be possible to put [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Structures[/url] and the children of it in the sidebar for easy access?

Not sure if this is intended... but [code] {{Func |Name=IPAddress |Parent=Player |Description=Returns the player's IP Address | Returns = {{Return| s |Realm=Server |IsClass=Yes }} {{Ret |type=string |desc= ipAddress }} {{Example | Description = Prints the player's IP | Code = print(ply:IPAddress()) | Output = 127.0.0.1 }} [/code] At least a few of the player functions are messed up. [url]http://i.imgur.com/MDgMVv2.png[/url] <-- picture of what it looks like. If there is a way to manually fix it, I'll gladly do some.
