For example only files from https://zdoom.org/wiki/ but not from https://zdoom.org/files/

I tried the level option --level= with 0, 1, 2 etc. but that did not work.
Would somebody have some insight with that?

Telling it to reject something like ^((?!wiki).)*$ might work. Gross hack stolen from here.

If you are trying to dump the wiki syntax, it's probably better to download the "source view" pages, e.g. https://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=Mai ... action=raw
Not sure how to script this properly though, it may as well be impossible using simple wget commands.
You might be able to do it in two passes, first collect a list of links by getting HTML, then in the second pass fetching each page as raw. That, however, is double load on the server.
I'd just write my own Python script here to parse the [[]] links (and in-wiki file/image references as well) and construct the final download list based on those recursively.

For ease of accessibility on the wiki, I think these could go on the sidebar over DECORATE stuff.

Thank you for linking to the manual.
I was able to download just the wiki entries with

Code: Select all

"wget.exe" -rk https://zdoom.org/wiki/Main_Page --no-check-certificate --html-extension --include-directories=wiki --exclude-directories=files
The download, ca 7700 items, took ca 60 minutes. That also included the unwanted pwads and associated pngs, which it would have been nice if they were kept in a separate folder.

Concerning the HTML to MediaWiki editor I think I have to bite the bullet and familiaize myself more with the MediaWiki syntax.

Is there a possibility that we could have a {{new}} template for GZDoom?

I would add this, but it doesn't look like I can edit the relevant page. I imagine I don't have the user/editing rights.

Yes, the wiki will move to GZDoom mode once GZDoom gets its first ZDoom.org release.

Could someone delete [wiki=Custom_actor_properties]this[/wiki] page, please? I created it while not noticing that the subject of the article was already covered by [wiki=ZScript_custom_properties]this page[/wiki].

Edit: converted the page into a redirect. Problem solved.

At the moment the Wiki doesn't document many recent additions to the action specials (e.g. I added some new parameters from Eternity to some last year and also added a few new ones)
Is there any way to get an automatically compiled list of all specials with parameters that I can compare with the implementation? The main list page only lists by names, making this a chore to collect the needed info.

Also, is there anyone volunteering to add information to the undocumented ones? I was hoping someone would care but the new additions have remained empty since I added them to the main list.

I've been trying to download the wiki with httrack but i had to cancel after a few hours even after excluding the files. I've tried to resume the download several times but no way. The site is accessed very very slowly for me usually between 10 and 20 KB/s, i can navigate the forum normally but for instance downloading files is usually really slow so i have to go to drdteam.org.

I need some ideas on how best to structure the menu systems and make it all readable. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well you should probably start with a "ZScript menu systems" page with some broad-line, general, summarized overview of how one goes on to create a custom menu in ZScript.

Then a "Menu classes" section with a list of menu classes.

The wiki's getting hit hard by spammers right now. If you're really in need of information and a page has been vandalized, check the History instead until a wiki admin can deal with it.

Update: Situation neatly resolved not long after making that post. Many thanks to Gez for handling that.

Indeed - thank you, Gez, and also, thank you for all the help you've given us over the years with the wiki. Despite what that other guy said, I find it to be VERY informative - and truthfully, indisposable.

Gez: There is a problem with the Actor Flags page. If you compare the Inventory Flags page directly to Actor Inventory flags subsection, you'll quickly see some of the new stuff is not mirrored over. I.e. there's no NOSCREENBLINK flag visible for some reason, nor the health/armor flags.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
