Post subject:  Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Be advised, this thread is constantly undergoing revision.

So I got an idea today: Collating all of the most frequently asked questions into one thread. Provide links to them, or short and concise solutions to frequent, simple questions.

Unfortunately, the forum is a large place, and I am asking everyone to collaborate to bring this goal to fruition. Stumble upon a thread that we have seen multiple times? Post about it here. Find older, unbumped threads that have useful insight or information? Post them here.

I will work on drafting actual responses as best to my ability, but for now the goal is to just help me get all the threads and wiki pages together.

Who's with me, brothers!? /fistpump

Links to be processed/edited
Spawn points: http://www.datarealms.com/forum/viewtop ... =8&t=17056
Resolution issues: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16782

If individual or individuals would be so kind as to thread-ify and post parts of the wiki FAQ into the forum, that would be great. Post in Game Discussion using the subject FAQ: [topic]

Nobody actually know about/visits the wiki, maybe I should start spreading it around to make it more visited.
Maybe put some of the most common ones into the post as well, just to make them easy to access.

Also you weren't the first to come up with this idea, THOR, but I guess it's a good thing someone is trying again.

User was warned for being an unhelpful detractor of a noble effort. -D

If you do end up doing this, make sure to include something about how no one gives a damn about how you just found out how to make a crab bomb. Please.

don't act like a sassy foot

seriously, bro

if you're not going to contribute, don't say dumb ♥♥♥♥

don't see you coming up with ideas or helping out

Also I will offer wellworded concise solutions to mod/game related problems.

(In hindsight I do seem like a jerk, but, in my defense:)

I was joking when I said 'go away, duh.' not including a :P smiley shouldn't mean anything. Man.

Anyhow, I was contributing. I was saying that putting the wiki link in the first post would be a good idea.

I was saying that THOR was acting really clever because "So I got an idea today: Collating all of the most frequently asked questions into one thread." and he really wasn't, many other people have recommended that. I got a little annoyed when he acted like he was extremely original.

except he wasn't acting like that at all

he started a sentence with a generic introduction

"so I was thinking"/"so I had an idea"/"so what do you think of" it's all idiomatic

seriously, don't try and step on a bro for having an idea, just because you hold a grudge with his person and/or sentence structure

Okay seriously, would like to see some volunteers for this project. C'mon people. You all say you hate the repetitive "noob questions," but no one is offering to help :[

If I offer to give you some kind of user title or forum incentive (to be negotiated through the Admiralty), will people help?

Oh crap I forgot about this. I think I'll do a bit, and try to stick to things where I won't get it ridiculously wrong.
When I get back to Australia though.

How to change starting resources would be a nice thing. Ophanim put together "Everything you need to know about modding" so I will try to help out with this and make it global - what needs doing?

[EDIT] We could make it look something like Ophanim's topic if that would make everything easier?

Post subject:  Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Right now we just need to find topics that are most asked. Should involve scouring the boards a couple pages (and keeping an eye out for new topics).

Post subject:  Re: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I guess the Most asked question has a topic of it's own.

I'd say some really basic questions would be the most important, like the ones already mentioned.
Things like: Why does CC sometimes crash with no good reason. Basic modding failures EVERYONE has made atleast once.
The how to improve speed topic, etc....

Can't come up with any more, but people this should work!
