Dawn of Light

Hello DOL Support Community !

I started a Wiki on Official Dawn Of Light GitHub repository for DOL Server : https://github.com/Dawn-of-Light/DOLSharp/wiki

This can be edited by any GitHub registered user, article changes are saved to a Git Repository allowing for History Revision, writing syntax is "GitHub Flavored" MarkDown, and it can be cloned locally with a Git Client (TortoiseGit or GitHub client for Windows...) then you can commit/merge your local changes to the repository with Git, and you can still use the Web-oriented GitHub editor if you don't want to use any tools

Even if GitHub Wiki is really far from being the best Wiki Engine available it still is a great way to store Articles, Tutorials, How-To and any knowledge resources around DOL Server Project, keeping Documents under Revision System and allowing for anyone to participate and update articles or clone the whole library for distribution/backup/migration if any of these should be needed.

If any one is willing to migrate some articles we have on the Dolserver Web Site ( http://www.dolserver.net/articles/ ) to this wiki this could help in populating the library and then updating these articles if needed

You can start typing now

Hi Leo,

I just added the Guide for ZonePoint!

Thanks, nice idea, should be easier to use than the current one.

Great Move

I added a link to your Article in the Home Page.

Thank you Leodagan, thank you Eudes.

I will try to move more the coming days.

I'm slightly confused... has dol switched to github for future revisions or is svn/sourceforge still the primary codebase?

DOL is switching to Github, we're trying to update web page link to Github instead of Sourceforge SVN

Anyway there is not much differences between both code base for now (nothing around bugfix or features...)

Thanks for the response Leo. I want to make sure I pull from the most up to date code base.

I'm closing Sourceforge now. Let's focus on GitHub

Hear hear!

I added English and French tutorials for use git for getting DoL source code.

I've added a lot of stuffs since several months (database creation / database filling / downloading and setting up the server / launching the server / data quest creation / slash commands...)

Nice idea to make it modifiable by every github user
