Talk:FAQ
From Freeciv
[edit] Size Problem
This page is huge (MediaWiki is even warning about that). How about splitting it up, for example in
or something? --Guenther 15:39, 3 Jan 2005 (PST)
What about this:
- Installation
- Usage
- Gameplay
- Windoze
- Misc

I would propose this:
- FAQ:Installation (with subheadings for each operating system)
- FAQ:Getting Started (the FAQ for beginners)
- FAQ:Gameplay (Al kind of tips and tricks)
- FAQ:Community (stuff like forum slang, etiquette and the like)
- FAQ:Troubleshooting (technical help)
- FAQ:Changing gameplay (with subheadings for server settings and ruleset help (and references to where help can be found))
- FAQ:Development (answers to common development questions.)
- FAQ:Credits (link to credits page, give it a little extra attention, why not.)

- Well, some of your categories would not have much content in them. Lets try to order the existing FAQs first :-). I tried to get a better overview by actually putting the FAQs to categories. I'm not very content with it yet (The three code/compiling question are too loney, for example), but maybe it helps getting to something better?--Guenther 11:47, 25 May 2005 (PDT)
- Please include the MacOSX Section: FAQ/Mac_OS_X --Flurios 04:03, 10 August 2006 (PDT)
The answer to question 1.9 says that version 1.14.1 or later contain the difficulty level 'novice'. That seems to be incorrect. 1.14.2 in Debian doesn't seem to have it. It exists in version 2.0.0-beta7 though. --Matz
- Fixed. Nice catch.
Barrett9h 01:05, 2 Apr 2005 (PST): Use less told (answering my question "Why are the AI players so good on 'easy'?") about puting the AIs in the same team. How can I do that?
- Barrett9h: Err.. answering my own question: grep'ed for it on the sources, and after looking server/savegame.c, I tried to put a team="ai" for every AI player on the savegame file. It showed up in the players dialog (F3). Is it the way? I'm going to play the game now to see if it has effect.
- You can use the team command to set teams before the game starts. For ai teams you have to create the ai players first using the create command --Matz 17:11, 2 Apr 2005 (PST)
- I've put this into the answer. Hope that's OK. --219.89.172.176 22:57, 2 Apr 2005 (PST)

Is it possible to change the GTK theme used by freeciv in Windows? If so, how? --Canar
[edit] The mysterious 'Ruleset Directory'
quote from the FAQ article (windows part):
Then you need to tell the server to use it. This is done by typing /rulesetdir ruleset directory in the chat line of the client before pressing the Start Game button.
'ruleset directory' is vague, directory from where? (in debian this has to be a subdir of freeciv/data, subdir from current directory, and anything in $PATH, as for windows? I dont know). I would much rather have the full path stated there, from root, C: or even a network address (rulesets are small text files).--Albatrossix 22:37, 22 May 2005 (PDT)
I think the purpose of a faq is, to list all the FAQs.. if you split up, there should be at least one page that shows all the questions from all subpages, but i think the best thing would be, to keep it in one page. With the links to the answers it has good browsability, and you can fulltext-search better in there. --Elfstone 05:04, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Is it possible not to use FAQ answers like:
Q. I've found a bug, what should I do? A. See Bug Reporting.
Because of I hope to include FAQ in freeciv release somewhen (PR#10284), these answers will be, um, annoying in text file. --evyscr
[edit] Images?
I've created some images for the Catalan FAQ. If you like it, I can create screenshots for the English FAQ.--Joancreus(discussió) 16:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
