We need a way, a condensed and easy to find (right away without digging through numerous child-forums) way to get info on things as simple as changing your on character background, setting your chat on AFK, simple things like that. I know they exist "somewhere" on this forum but I can't find them. Been looking for ten minutes... and I can't find them. I've been here for years... if I can't find them... then newcomers can't find them either. Maybe just a sticky on the general forum explaining misc stuff so new players (and old folks like me) can access it without frustration.

No problem, you're right though. It's hard to find... I made the threads so it's easy for me to remember it, but the name is quite misleading. Also it's lacking the suicide command. Think I'll edit the name of that thread. *edit* And the thread name was changed... no idea if that's better or worse. Probably still not optional. Could be description editing consents having its own thread too really... or using the old method with search words in the top-most post linking to the functions.. hmm... could perhaps do something like that with a pinned topic linking to features in the said threads. |

Is this information on the essence conversation? It has been so long since I looked at that that I forget. |

Nope, at least not anything that's been added in recent years i think. To be honest, this is where the Wiki would be better leveraged than the forums, especially as our forum search is borked. Wiki has the advantage of easier editing and better formatting as well. Of course, its open to people screwing with pages unless we lock those pages down. |

... if only we had a wiki made like a year ago. :rolleyes: And I think that's about when there was any activity last time too. http://z13.invisionfree.com/nwn2planescape...?showtopic=7547 There's a link in the forums list there too. I'm pretty sure I've somewhere said at least couple of times that information spread to loads of different places is generally speaking bad since that just is loads more work of updating them all rather than having it all in one place. However the in game information sources do serve a purpose to players whom do not follow any browser information sources. It means they're at least available in game, and make no mistake... the amount of players that do not follow any forums or the likes are plenty enough to justify having them. Not that they always look at those anyway, but we can at least say we've done our share in making it available then. |

Yeah, i know about the wiki and I recall your point about multiple sources of information. I would argue that having it in multiple places is a good thing in general, the big downside is maintaining multiple sources of information. And about the in-game help.... so often people are not aware of that either. But yes, it should be our primary repository for in-game functionality help. Now what the wiki really should be is for the regular players to fill with info that they find useful for sharing with other players. If only some kindly players would start populating it...
