I got rid of the quotes and the italics... Hopefully it is how you had it.  From now on Tenjho needs to get permission from management (you) before doing anything.

Anyway, I added some other commands as well and fixed 1 or 2 typos you had in your commands (such as renamesim should have just been rename).  If I fucked something up let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Ah, that explains why "renamesim" didn't work in my game. Apparently, either I'd written it down incorrectly, or somebody posted it incorrectly. Either way, thanks for fixing it.

I had used the Italics to differentiate the commands from the text explaining so people wouldn't have to be fully awake and thinking to tell the difference. I also spaced them out since they were jumbled together like one big paragraph. Sorry if you didn't like the changes, but i still stand that from my perspective, it seemed much easier to read that way. No one wants reading something to seem like a chore.

Italicizing doesn't make things easier to read, but instead distorts the text, making it even more difficult to read. Also, you Italicized all of the text, not just the non-bold text, which was completely unnecessary. Since the command names were already bold, they didn't require anything to differentiate them from the text that was describing them. Bulleted lists eliminate the need for spacing between lines - that's the whole point of using them. You made reading the list even more of a chore by adding weird formatting where it doesn't belong, but this is neither here nor there, because...

I've changed the formatting of the console-commands list, so that the descriptions are indented beneath the command names, making the entire list easier to read. Thank you, Simius, for adding to the missing commands. I slightly reworded a few things, to make them a bit more concise.

money sets the funds to $1,000,000

money <amount> sets the funds to the amount you specify.

You seemed to have gotten rid of the money <amount> command when making it prettier.

Oops! I thought I'd made an erroneous description when putting that one in the first time. I'll add it back. Thanks!

Edit: It's fixed.

Wow, came back and everything was under way.  Wiki sounds fantastic and huge thanks to you, chaos, for jumping in even though you weren't too sure about it at first.  Much better than a text file, thanks to Witch.
Coolness.

Edit: I've edited my initial post to account for the new info and a link so people can go directly to Wiki if they so desire. Smiley

I appreciate you taking the time to do this, it's nice to have the info all in one place.

Is there any chance that a more complete description of supreme commander could be added? I know it is similar to the macrotastic system in TS2 when in affecting the active household.... but I also get the impression that it is doing something much more complicated when imposed on inactive households. I'd just be interested to know more about it.

I only use SC for collecting rocks, bugs, etc, so I don't actually know much about its inner workings. Maybe someone who does know will be kind enough to add the info to the wiki.

Nope, it's just doing exactly the same thing in inactive households you run it on, it just keeps going.

I would strongly suggest that once you get the text into a shape you approximately like, that you PM wikka mods for expert help with checking the writing, since many of you appear not to be overly familiar with punctuation, and then ask Lorelei to help you to get it to look nice. There are templates in other places on the wikka that you could make use of if you want to start sorting various bits of info into categories.

Oh.. so the Wiki wasn't just some big in-joke to make the lurkers cry when it didn't load.. It actually did exist.

Yes, and it was fucking awesome.  Cry
