Rayman Designer

Post by Tehrunescape455 »

I couldn't help but notice your RayWiki page on Rayman Designer is frightningly short, and as a Rayman Designer fan, I'm a bit concerned to say the least. :sad:

I would add to it, but I'm not any good at writing anything wikipedia related, and I'm afraid it won't be good enough. I really want a good page about that game, but I don't know how to help? So...


How can I help?

If you're that concerned with your writing, I suggest writing it in something like MS word first or something that has a spell checker, and then allowing us to format it properly. You can then try the following:

* upload the game's cover and a number of screenshots.
* use this game template to display some game related stats (the following is an example taken from the Rayman 2 article):

Code: Select all

{{Game
| name = Rayman 2: The Great Escape
| image = [[Image:Rayman2cover.jpg|center|200px]]
| published by = Ubisoft
| developed by = Ubisoft
| release date = 1999
| genre = 3D Platformer
| gameplay mode = Single player
| platforms = Nintendo 64, PC, Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation, [[Rayman 2 Forever|Game Boy Color]], [[Rayman Revolution|Sony PlayStation 2]]
}}
* list any other special features.

Anything you can do to improve Rayman Designer-related content on RayWiki is welcome :) As Stacey said, you should start writing a full article and post it here, so that we can help you with the wiki syntax and the usual formatting. It would be a great idea to create articles for EVE.MLT and such files, as well as another article explaining how to modify them. And why not, articles about items used in Designer, such as Gendoors, Killdoors, the Mapper, special types, etc.
By the way, I may need special screenshots from Designer, it would be awesome if you could take them for me ;)

I think there are a couple in the "Rare Rayman Images" topic in the Rayman section.

This is me having an excuse to bump this, but, I couldn't find any of those requests.

Some Designer-specific elements (Gendoors, Killdoors, different-coloured Tings, green spikes, balloons, and of course the 24 bonus levels off the top of my head) are pretty under-represented on the wiki.

I think we've accounted for the Tings enough, but all other things probably do need screenshooting.

The 24 extra levels don't have their own pages yet. Maybe you could make a screenshot or two for each one?

I would suggest either the very beginning of the map, or a characteristic scenery.

Any suggestions?

It looks good so far, but please remember to read the guidelines (especially as concerns the use of the third person) and to proof-read your modifications before submitting them in order to spot typos ;) Congratulations anyway ;)

I'm not really sure either, since I've only checked once months ago.
