Title: GMG WikiManual
Post by: GMG Tim on April 13, 2008, 04:38:09 PM

As the GMG Wiki Manual grows, I'll probably move all the 'Articles & Tutorials' to the wiki, and replace that link with the wiki link. That encourages the community to add to those articles, etc.

The Wiki Manual can be found at http://manual.gamemakersgarage.com/

I don't know how this is done, but what do you think of adding a section on the sidebar with links to GameMaker and SilverCreator pages, kind of like how the UESP site made a sidebar section where every game in the Elder Scrolls series is categorized?

I will try to help out in adding pages for GM commands and such when I have time after school.   8)

*Edit* Are variable related commands and general commands in separate lists?  I'm confused because the list seems to start with ALERT, but it should start with the ABS command.

I have added a few commands, from ABS through FILEIO...

Alert was just a sample item... not the first one.

Thankyou... but did you see the template on the main page.

Every command was supposed to have it's own page...

Sorry about that...I'm still a newbie with MediaWiki...

EDIT: Shortened descriptions on Command list and made links to new pages. So far, commands ABS through BEGIN APPLESCRIPT have content on their pages.

Thankyou...

But I was expecting more comprehensive documantation....

Please look at: http://manual.gamemakersgarage.com/index.php?title=Command_Documentation_Template

Press the "Edit" button, copy the code and replace the elements...

Mist (Sorry, I know that I should do this myself...)

I did a few, it's pretty easy except for coming up with examples.  It's the first time I've ever edited a wiki.   :P

You don't need to come up with examples if you don't want to.

Just leave that section empty.
