CS needs Help and you can too

[Qetesh]

So one of the number one comments we see about CS is regarding the lack of help files or documentation. Many things are out of date or lacking and the administration doesn't always have time to address this issue. I now come to you the players to ask for your help in writing this documentation. The wiki is the number one source of information on the game and it is linked to the ingame help system so if you know how to do something esoteric or have a question you get asked ICly that people/characters in CS should just know. Please make an article on it.

Off the top of my head I know we need documentation for weaponsmithing and armor crafting as well as tailoring.
If you can think of any additions please do a write-up.


If you can think of something you want a topic written on please post in this thread so people know what is desired.

Think it'd be neat to have a helpfile on music (making, editing and playing songs) for musician characters.

I'll have a crack at armorsmithing and weaponsmithing when I get a shot - already have a half done guide on my user page.

If anyone wants to write up guides but is shit at wiki code, write it in a google doc or something then send it to me and I'll format it all etc.

weaponsmithing started, will need a few more passes for formatting and likely a bit more info, please let me know if there's any specifics to add - https://www.cybersphere.net/cs/weaponsmithing

Armor crafting has:

https://www.cybersphere.net/cs/Help/Armorcrafting

https://www.cybersphere.net/cs/Guides/A ... ting_Guide

And also useful:

https://www.cybersphere.net/cs/Guides/Tailor

I'm not sure if these would be better if they were condensed or not.

Biker Levels needs to be updated for the "new" standard levels

Since there's pages listing the standard and biker level terms, there should also be such lists for strength, endurance, and empathy. Unless those should be more of a mystery, or something. Otherwise, it's probably best to add them to the main levels page

I hadn't gotten around to fixing the biker levels page (read: I forgot), it's done now. Also thanks for cleaning up the other page I didn't finish when I removed the old levels.

As for the stats - they've been given different sets of adjectives to provide some flavour relevant to the stat being described. However, they were not explicitly explained with direct comparisons because at the point those adjectives diverge is where the stat is bad enough that being able to really delineate how bad isn't meaningful.

Plus it gives us the warm fuzzies.

Jokes aside (which part was I joking about?) -- Might update a table so those that everyone can see the same information and close the knowledge gap between newer players and those of you who insit on math-hammer'ing things and sharing spreadsheets.

Just out of curiosity, I'm to assume that anything decking related is exempt from having less-vague help files, due to the inherently spoilerific nature of it?

[Qetesh]

There are some player written IC helpfiles lying around somewhere I may see if I can get more copies in game. Feel free to ICly write your own as well just try not to get too spoilery.
