Automatically importing in-game items/ship/etc into the wiki
I think I still have my first 300baud modem from back in the day. I can still remember downloading a game that just about stuffed TWO 5 1/4" floppies and it took 5 hours to get. Those were the days when Britannica was our Wiki and librarians our search engines. I have to say sometimes librarians are still more efficient.

Unsurprisingly, quite a few of our users are still on dialup based on stats from this server.Sai wrote:Well, sweet Mother Teresa on a hood of a Mercedes-Benz... I didn't know you guys have it so rough out there.
I do sincerely apologise if you found my jokes and sarcasm inappropriate, but I just... I can't even...
I can't even comprehend the low speeds you are having.
As if this whole forum is stuck in this big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey... Stuff, from ten years ago.
(Yes, I know, I'm joking again, but the more replies I kept reading, the less ridiculous that idea started to sound...)
To think that you have it worse and you still manage... Dunno what to say. As I said. I can't even.
Nevertheless, I do get your point of view and I'd be happy to go with whatever you suggest and feel to be the best solution for everyone. Kudos on that, keep it up.

I can now read types from the xml source code.
some armour types as an example:
Is there any progress on the new wiki installation? Would it be possible to connect to it so that I can start experimenting with the script logging-in and auto-updating articles?
Or am I too impatient

I set up a local MediaWiki installation and will try to build from there.
However, I'm currently living out of the back of a car, sleeping (wildcamping) in a tent with pretty unpredictable weather (UK), no regular power supply (I need to pop into a pub to recharge my netbook) and lots of daytime activity (rock climbing) which leaves me pretty wasted by the time I crawl into my sleeping bag... in other words: this project has not died, but it will take me a while to complete in the current circumstances.
