  1. Just received mine this morning, and rather surprisingly it's the Collector's Edition A DVD-ROM in a big box with a poster, comics, playing cards and some fan fiction for £17.99? Can't be bad!
  2. Well I've just been notified by Play.com that they've shipped out my order, so it should arrive by Friday with a bit of luck.
  3. I always thought of the Harvester room as either being an observation room, or just a required "hole" in the hull so that the examination room equipment could be installed - perhaps it's supposed to be taller than one map level in the game.
  4. I've just ordered Aftershock from play.com - I was expecting it to say "Due for release on 21/10/2005, pre-order now" but it actually says "In stock, usually dispatched within 24 hours." Anyone else seen this and ordered?
  5. Sorry I've not been around much! I've been a bit ill over the past few weeks so haven't had much computer time at all You are all free to change the pages around however you want. Removing the "(UFO Defense)" part is probably a good idea. I'd forgotten that there are no "Heavy Weapons Platforms" in TFTD, they are called SWSs aren't they? So yes, it's a unique name. I'll hopefully be able to contribute some stuff now that I'm feeling a bit better, although I've now got a metric ton of work to catch up on too!
  6. Yes, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be incredibly easy to use! There is a Wiki on the MediaWiki website which gives some useful information on organising and creating articles. Thats what I used to learn more about how to do stuff.
  7. Don't think you can do that unfortunately. I'll have a detailed look in the configuration files and see if there is anything like that.
  8. I can certainly change the Wiki so that you need to create an account to create new pages, but I think that is pretty much the only security system it offers, unfortunately. Thats the problem with Wiki's in general - the idea of them is that everyone can contribute.
  9. In that case I would suggest the pages to just be named as "Mathematics" or whatever without any suffix. Most definitely. I will add as much information as I can but unfortunately I am incredibly busy with work at the moment. Of course, one of the bonuses of using a Wiki is that everyone can contribute so people can pick up where I (and others) leave off.
  10. I can see where you're coming from. However, obviously there are going to be Heavy Weapons Platforms for different games - UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep I know have them, not sure about Apocalypse. The idea was to have game-specific pages and general pages that encompassed all games - so "Heavy Weapons Platforms (UFO Defense)" would just be HWPs from UFO, and "Heavy Weapons Platforms (TFTD)" would be from Terror. And then "Heavy Weapons Platforms" would just be all HWPs from all games. Category:Heavy_Weapons_Platforms should not be used, I don't like the way MediaWiki sets out category listings.
  11. What is the URL for the UFO2K boards? I've not heard of those ones. Just noticing your sig there BB, it would be good to have a sort of download area on the wiki too, including such stuff as your map viewer and the various editors scooting about.
  12. Good point. I did originally intend to split it up into each game, but the way I've done it at the moment might make that a little difficult. Still, the beauty of a Wiki is that it can be organised however you like without too much hassle. The other stumbling block of course is that I am only familiar with Enemy Unknown. I've played a little bit of TFTD and can't say I liked it. Nor Apocalypse for that matter
  13. Haha, I didn't realise ufopaedia.com was another X-COM site until I saw Danial mention it in the "Nice site" thread I figured it would be a "proper" UFO site like ufopedia.com Wish I'd got something more unique now, heheh.
  14. The domain name appears to have sorted itself out now so I have updated the original post with the correct URLs.
  15. As informative as possible Your modifications to the Lightning entry are good, well written too I'm hoping that any and all information pertinent to the games will end up on there eventually, whether its tactics, information on editing game files etc. and the calculations that I know you like working out
