We have had some improvements to the Game Resources section of the site.
All tricks pages have been renamed and relocated to the Game Resources section and no longer contain the word "tricks". These pages are no longer intended to just be a list of tricks useful in a TAS. I want these pages to be a library of "advanced" information for games. Ram addresses, a breakdown of game physics, tricks, glitches, information generally not known about the game.
For instance, nitrogenesis recently discovered the secret input sequence to access debug mode of Ghoul School. This was previously unknown to the world, and so it was put
here.
Also, I've changed it so that ANY published author can edit the game resources pages (in addition to editors & such). So TASers, if you have a published movie, you no longer have to ask for editor status. Just start editing and creating new pages!
I hope that author's will feel a sense of responsibility to try to document their knowledge of the games they work on. Please don't feel like your game isn't important, or your english isn't that good, or you don't know how to do animated GIFs. We need content! I want a library of information about all the games we represent (and then some). We have plenty of editors that can clean up grammar. And descriptions with no gifs or youtube links is better than no information at all.
Also, some other small tweaks were done, all pages now highlight the game resources tab. There is a game footer module to homogenize the links at the bottom of pages.
The main game resources pages now looks pretty bad, but soon I will write a module that will present a nicely formatted list of all pages.
I"m thinking of having a header module too, possibly with some kind of graphical elements. I'd like to give the game resources pages their own unique feel at least. Possibly even with a screenshot parameter so that page headers could have a screenshot of the game.
Also, I will ensure that the potential header & footer modules are added automatically to newly created pages.
If you have any ideas on how to improve the game resources section of the site, don't hesitate to brain storm here.
