Indexing the Network Node factions

[sisko]

you'll have to register to make changes..

yep, i know :p. no bridge, but that's okay.

@ete: you have full rights now (admin and bureacrat).

[ete]

Cool, thanks.

Okay, the infrastructure for adding custom factions and searching them is in place, and the missing/imperfect bits can be added by template edits without needing to change pages again, so I'd like to ask anyone who wants to help out to start putting up networknode and official factions. Just put the name of the faction page you want to make in the url or search bar and hit create page, then add the factioninfobox (link on the mainpage http://alphacentauri2.info/mediawiki/index.php). I've done plenty of examples: http://alphacentauri2.info/mediawiki/Category:Factions

Graphics and extras will happen mid-long term (many subprojects on the wiki, weee), and once the basic infoboxes are up we'll add a load more categories based on other things which it'd be good to search by. There will be a separate AI infobox.

Edit: BUncle, could you upload your collection of custom factions somewhere? It's pretty likely you'll have at least a few which would be hard to track down otherwise.

ete, this thread http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?topic=2480.0 might be of interest.  It's what made me aware of the need for indexing - Kil and I posted or linked six aquatic factions therein...

Okay, I'll put that in the faction collection thread.

Geo is the author of the aquatic versions of the official factions, as seen in Ryn's Gallery.

[Geo]

I am? Please link me this gallery.
I know I did quite a bit quatic work at the time, but there's nothing on my comp anymore.

vyeh posted it in Downloads at WPC for sure, a few pages along- I don't remember if the NN download I posted is a new one with all the non-NN stuff I have or if I just reposted Maniac's NN collection.

Thanks.
Don't think that was my work. Besides the Atlants in the big pack (NN) I haven't spotted anything I customized/made.

I'd have sworn your handle was in the readmes, but the file structure is weird in that set, and it's hard to find stuff.

I have your Mars scenario somewhere.  I mentioned it (and Maybe linked) a few places in this folder where folks were talking about doing their own Mars scenarios...

[Geo]

Bloody hell! Now I remember! I indeed once worked on a watermap with human aquatic factions and land-based autochtone progenitor factions!

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah; I was sure you were the guilty party.

It's a very nice contribution to the world of custom factions, too.
