Big changes on wiki!
« on: March 13, 2010, 06:48:37 PM »
Greetings everyone!
After long, hard and (sometimes) boring work I'm proud to present the Mechwarrior Living Legends Theme v.2 as well as new Main Page.

Changes are big, visible nearly on each step, so go ahead and explore! :)

ps. don't worry about the red links on main page - these are placeholders for the things that will come tomorrow.

nice design!

bugs i saw:
-login and other links in top right corner are badly readable cuz of the background image
-last line of content box lays over the bottom black/yellow bar
-"How to install MWLL" link is dead and imho no longer needed since there is an installer.

also i found the sandbox a bit irritating - i thought it would be about the crysis sandbox editor. maybe re-name that section?

Looking good guys.  ;)

I noticed you are linking to http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/download/ for the download.  We just got a new design in place up at http://www.mwlldownload.com/ complete with all the changelog info, mirrors, etc., and we may be adding more functionality to this site in the future.  That might be the better link.

I started an "How to install MWLL" article to replace the dead forum link

Are the weapon damage numbers correct for lasers? They seem incredibly low (especially with the description of how the time vs. damage works, I think it is supposed to be the opposite way.)

i.e. If you have a laser dealing 30 damage over 3 seconds, but only manage to keep it on target for 1 second, then you do 30 damage. If you keep it on them for all 3 seconds, then you do 90 damage (30*3).

Maybe a decimal point is out of place? I dunno, but when a Gauss rifle is doing 1800 damage, I just can't see a 6 CERLBL Novacat competing with such low numbers.

Honestly I never checked it, Threesan takes care of this page... but I have expressed my worries to the way he calculates the laser damage so... TBH I wouldn't thrust this data too much.

But still overally it's the best data sheet available, so... just skip the lasers if you think they are wrong. :)
