Ysne58 236 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Was any information lost? Are you going to make any changes, new format etc? What kind of help are you going to need? 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Heya Cathleen! The wiki's going to take a while to get up and going again, we're kind of scared about putting it on the same hosting with darkmatters. As a cautious move, we're looking at purchasing a second hosting account for just the wiki so that if one site has a problem the other is secure. We're looking at price options for the second hosting, and after that, it'll be an upgrade to the media wiki software, and then to see if stuff still works. much of sites fdm and sacredwiki are all custom work and code put together by schot. when we severed the relationship tween wiki and forum, a lot of the associations were broken, and we're crossing our fingers hoping that enough is still going to function. We're going to be looking at this soon (within 2 weeks) and see what our options are, we're excited to see what can be brought back, and we'll post as soon as we have some news gogo 1 Link to comment
Zeno 2 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Good to see you back guys! I'm not a wiki super-expert, but let me know if I can be of any help in bringing things back, testing, or the mediawiki upgrade or that kind of stuff. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Zeno, welcome back! Thanks for the offer, we're looking at our options, and your work with coding for wiki was amazing, we're going to be seeing who can help out with this after our hosting is decided. gogo Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lori Bay owner of the Dark Creations site uses Linode, if that is any help to youl They have several wikis there along with a GIT repository and Bugzilla for bug reporting for some of the mods they host. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks Ysne, its actually well set up gogo Link to comment
Zeno 2 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hey gogo, any update? Oh, we do miss the wiki man... Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Heya Zeno! We're looking at sometime around the end of February if all goes well. It's a huge job Also, if anyone has expertise with reviewing files for a virus or backdoor left by an intruder as this this would help. gogo Link to comment
Dragon Brother 619 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, I don't have anything in terms of the required skills to add but I will add that I hope everything is going as well as it could and that the sacred wiki can be open to throngs of adulatory fans again soon!

Zeno 2 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Heya Zeno! We're looking at sometime around the end of February if all goes well. It's a huge job, and if anyone has expertise with reviewing a gazillion files for a virus or backdoor left by an intruder, this would help. gogo Oh, take as many time as needed then! I don't know if I'd be able to help with that, but if it's a matter of searching, let me know what to look for and where Link to comment
gogoblender 3,038 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 heh, it's great knowing there are fans waiting! Zeno, DB et al, judging from the pms and emails, it loox like the wiki was treasured! gogo Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'll echo everyone else's sentiments and offer whatever help I can though I don't seem to have any skills necessary to help get it up and running. But if it's simply examining each file and you or Schot can show me what needs to be done, I'm more than willing. With all the power issues here I doubt I'll be working this weekend on the project down in Rhode Island for the electric company. Have a feeling they'll be way too busy to take any trucks off the road. Plus we may get another big storm this Sunday. So I have plenty of time to do any tedious/monotonous stuff for ya so you can tackle other stuff Link to comment

They're going to be hungry for that treasure trove too. If there's anything I can to help, I will. 1 1 Link to comment
Rusto 0 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've just started playing Sacred 2 again recently, this time I have PC version too Gotta say I really miss the wiki! Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm willing to help with the wiki to the extent that I can. I probably don't have the skills you need to be looking for back door trojans and stuff though. Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I forgot to mention, I'm having hand surgery on February 25th. So I probably won't be around much for a few days after that. Link to comment
Tybudd 6 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I've just started playing Sacred 2 again recently, this time I have PC version too Gotta say I really miss the wiki! This has been getting me by without the wiki, the google map doesn't work, and some picture links but otherwise the majority of the needed info is still intact.

Liloe 3 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just to add my 2 cents. There was a localization bug with the old Wiki software, as mentioned in my last wiki post. If you work with /language again, then you'll need to take care that no single article has a slash in the name. Good news are also, that all French parts I've done are well stored in my translation memory, so if the English texts don't change, translation of the same articles will only take a few minutes for the import/export and upload.

wolfie2kX 528 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Tossing in another 2 cents worth. While the Wayback Machine IS a very cool and somewhat useful tool, the backup it makes is NOT 100% complete. There are items that are missing. Quests I know for a fact were posted to the wiki but are for whatever reason, not available on the Wayback machine version. There are shadow quests I posted from the Ruka area - Slimy Gobs and Goo to name one - that aren't there. And I know for a fact I did them well before the wiki went down... Link to comment
Liloe 3 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I also have another question / request. Could someone open the "Sacred terms translated" article from Underworld and check, whether the English terms are correct or not? I'd also like to know the exact ability names of the Daemon and the Vampiress in their different forms. I'm asking, because I just noticed something weird in German. The Daemon ability "Energy Daemon (Charged Bolts)" is called "Energiedämon (Energieblitze)" in German, but when you switch to that form, the ability name becomes "Kugelblitze" and not "Energieblitze", as it should normally. While I can check all this in German, I can't in English, so I'd need someone to do it for me in English. Oh and while we're at it. Is the English name "Energy Daemon (Charged Bolts)" or "Energy Daemon / Charged Bolts"? Edited February 24, 2013 by Liloe Link to comment
wolfie2kX 528 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) It's "Energy Daemon (Charged Bolts)" in the US/UK version. I'm going to try getting a rune for that and eating it to see what it's called when you use that CA. Figures the Combo master would simply give me one for finishing off his quest. Anyhow.. It says "Energy Daemon (Charged Bolts)" pretty much everywhere. Edited February 24, 2013 by wolfie2kX Link to comment
Liloe 3 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Cool thanks and what does the CA say once you have switched to the form? Does it say Charged Bolt or something else? Link to comment
Ysne58 236 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 It says Charged Bolts (plural). Link to comment
Wolf470 1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 OK Guys and Gals I just ran a search for the XP table (chart) for Sacred 2, and the wayback machine was nice enough to give me the ever helpful 404 error. So I guess that is one more page that got lost. It would be ever so helpful if someone could post a copy in the downloads section. I would but as I'm looking for the data to begin with.....
