How can I add my OXP to the Wiki?

Ask Maik in PM for your wiki account, then login and check the source of other pages by pressing the edit button at the top (just do not save ).

A new page will be born if you simply type the page name you choosed into the end of location line:
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Thargoid_Weaponry
Not a surprise that "there is currently no text in this page", but now you can press on the "create" tab in top middle. Paste the source of another similar page and modify it for your package, for example include the link of this topic ( http://bb.aegidian.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18537 ).

Always use the "show preview" button first and press save only after you reached the final lookout. Be careful: the wiki store all versions in the history, so you can not purge any of your saves. Even a delete is mean a new blank version only but all previous pages are still public under the history tab.

The wiki is a teamwork so don't be surprised if another contributor suddenly change something on your page, for example but not only fixing typos or missing parts. Good luck!

Hi everybody,
the download-link of that OXP does not work. Is somewhere another one or is it already finished?

Or one finds that the Man of Mystery has just come along and sorted out the whole problem...

The mystery man came over
And he said I'm outta sight
He said for a nominal service charge
I could reach nirvana tonight

A bit of confusion arose when looking at the code for this OXZ, both old and new versions, as follows.

Code: Select all

<snip>
"Thargoid Laser"
<snip>
recharge_rate = 11.0;
<snip>

From what is available on THE WIKI and what has been seen in other Weapon OXZs that is an extremely high recharge rate. A recharge rate of 0.1 gives a laser a continuous beam as with the default Military Laser. A recharge rate of 0.5 is the standard for the default Pulse Laser. The default Mining Laser has a recharge rate of 2.5. A recharge rate of 11.0 seems a bit out of range. This is based on what has been read by me. If this is wrong and there is some other coding magic in the higher range of numbers that has yet to enter my consciousness then please correct me. Learning new stuff is all that is desired here. Knowledge is Power. Other such cliches.

Thank You for your continued time and effort.
