BlockDoc - A Blockland coding wiki

[Pecon]

BlockDoc is a wiki that is striving to be a good reference for Blockland-specific coding and modification. There is a lot of content already, but it also isn't complete enough to prove of much use to anyone. I'd like to ask the modding community to help me in continuing to build this potentially powerful resource. If you feel like helping, note the list below and jump into any topic you like!

Things that really need to be done
- The Essential Functions List needs pages created for the remaining undocumented functions
- A beginners guide on General Modification needs to be written
- A beginners guide on Torquescript Syntax needs to be written

Things that are less important at the moment
- The Datablocks page needs pages created for most of the game's datablocks
- Object Types needs pages created for many of the game's objects

Don't bother
- The Console Function List has hundreds of functions without pages. I don't expect this to really ever be fully done.

YES! finaly

[Path]

Oooooh yeah. Please delve into the really advanced juicy code and algorithms that are involved in some of the many wonders you guys can work!

[Night_Hawk]

This looks/sounds interesting...

[Conan]

thank you this is literally what I've been looking for
its pretty hard to get into this language even as an intermediate programmer due to the lack of tutorials for TS. I don't even know if TS tutorials are still applicable to blockland; I've heard that the engine has undergone some pretty severe modification.

[Greek2me]

Conan, there's tons of tutorials. Somewhere there's a big list of them. The BLF is the best resource in the world for TorqueScript stuff.

Also, Pecon, didn't DC4F have a big wiki already?

You have to watch out that you don't get tutorials for tork 3d as they added lots of new functionality. Everything else should work just fine for blockland.

A few months ago I started on a similar project to document the TorqueScript functions and content in Blockland but never really did anything with it.  Here's the repo and GitHub Pages site if you want to take anything from there and add it onto your wiki.

[GMO Ferret]

Thank you, Pecon! I've always wanted to learn how to make stuff for Blockland

Never heard of it.

[ZERØ]

Ugh I really hope you guys put some form of security into this to avoid starfishs just popping in here and ruining the wiki like the other wikis we had.

[Honno]

Added some object functions.

Also, you should make it to where only reputable people with accounts can edit / create pages.

[TeeOS]

added setKey, buildstairs, and buildconfetti.

If you're gonna have anything Modeling-Related in there, I'd be glad to share what I know.
