Re: [Flightgear-devel] Normal map shader example - c172p

Is there any height change there at all, or are the surfaces completely smooth? I could obviously tone down the effect significantly to make them protrude less if that is more realistic.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear Wiki theme (was: Hi)
Hey Gijs and all, I've contacted Peter off-list regarding the wiki style. On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 3:00 PM, Gijs de Rooy gijsr...@hotmail.com wrote: Wiki styles Our wiki supports a couple of styles, including Monobook (used by Wikipedia, and default included in every mediawiki package) and fratman_enhanced (default on our wiki, it's the one with the blue/white A-10 logo). You probably want the fratman style? Personally I don't like that template at all (altough the logo is quite nice), so I use the Monobook one which is much easier in use (atleast when writing articles). But you have to decide for yourself, or give your users the option to choose. I've been testing the latest MediaWiki code and have had troubles with the fratman style, so Monobook may become the default if I can get a suitable corner logo done. Either way, it's always an optional preference to use Monobook. Multi language Your plan to put up a Polish wiki brought a discussion in mind that I and Simon had a while ago. We planned to provide the wiki in multiple languages (like you see on wikipedia), but the fact that our wiki is running on just one server gave some technical problems according to Simon. Maybey this is the time to take another look at the possibilities. The last part of my email is kinda off-topic to Peters subject, but it might be good to see whether we can merge multiple languaged wikis before starting new ones. Gijs As far as I see it, there's currently three solutions to this problem : 1. Handle it Wikipedia style : one server or virtual server per language (separate logins; separate templates; separate media unless we have a media commons) where we use inter-wiki links to match up the translations of pages. 2. Use (and possibly maintain) one or more of the plugins (Polyglot, multilang, etc..) that hacks Mediawiki into handling multiple languages. 3. Use sub-pages (e.g. http://wiki.flightgear.org/Main_Page/nl) and have a language template bar like http://mediawiki.org uses. I think using sub-pages and having a similar procedure to the mediawiki.org site is probably the best way to approach this. We can also incorporate inter-wiki links for any other established flightgear wikis. BTW, the recent error with the wiki was due to the fact that the database is latin1 and not utf-8. I'll go ahead and convert the database to utf-8 so we can start testing out sub-pages and language templates. Simon -- Come build with us!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Wiki Error
Hi Pete, Thanks for reporting this. I've temporarily fixed this by removing the language links at the bottom. I'll look into fixing the root cause of this problem, however, we don't have the same setup as Wikipedia (one server per language) and a direct copy won't always work the same way.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] flightgear wiki logo
Hi Pigeon, I was saying the same thing on irc a while ago. It is a pretty cool logo. I'm wondering if it is ok to give us the (high res) source of it? It might be cool if we could use the same text and replacing it with different aircraft to suit different people's tastes. Might be useful for making t-shirts too ;) Assuming that's ok with the author of course. Maybe put it under the CC license or something. Good idea - I created a page on the wiki as a repository for any FlightGear logos : http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Logos I uploaded an illustrator pdf and the png and Wes agreed to the CC - Attribution Share Alike license. We'll probably make (me = screenshot grabber) some versions with some civilian aircraft and maybe some additional logos and I'll post them there.
