SAK Wiki
on: July 04, 2017, 12:09:24 AM
Excuse my ignorance but as i was browsing round the SAK Wiki i noticed it linked to here, is it safe to assume it is run by someone from here?

SAKWiki is maintained by the Swiss Army Knights, and is the culmination of the knowledge of numerous members here.

Post some links and fixes you may have and I am sure someone will get them taken care of ASAP.  SAKWiki is something folks take a lot of pride in.   :tu:

As a knight in good standing, no review is needed. Just log in to sakwiki.com (separate account from MT.o), and press the “Edit” link which will appear at the bottom of each page, and make the additions needed.  :tu:

hmm seems it died during one of the updates... looking into it. We've been throwing the idea of rewriting it around for ages... not sure it got anywhere and I'm already swamped with the maintenance of the rest of the empire atm.

Maybe you can crowdsource a model list? And each model would have details like tools, size, variations, etc. Like the wiki but condensed and with MORE models!
Then all you have to do is enter the list into the SAKselector?

I'll see about getting the current setup working again, I have tracked down what seems to be an issue in the error log, just waiting on feedback from our host.

IIRC, the format of the current list is extremely complicated. Esteban took it on as a pet project to try and create a more workable interface where we could actually log in as admins and create/edit existing models. Also changing from perl/flatfileCSV to Php/mysql iirc.

Crazy complicated list? I see..
Well, if you ever simplify it, a whole bunch of people would want to add more models.  :tu:

120 columns/options per tool, spread in a tab separated CSV.

if my math is right, excluding the spacing rows for size/models there are 313 defined now.

Better than a cheat sheet, for obvious reasons (imitators) we'd rather not share it openly.

There, fixed some typos in your post.
