Talk:Creating an NPC

Unfinished; needs some work

The style of the article still needs some work. It should be written in a more formal tone. It shouldn't be presented as a lesson, but as a manual. The scale of the article is perfect, we could use some more articles that explain the basics.

Redundant?

Basic NPC Creation Tutorial appears to be much more robust and better organized (shame I didn't notice it until after I fixed a bunch of grammar problems). Should this page be deleted?

Ideally, it would be more like having the Basic NPC Creation Tutorial reference this, or something.

In theory, we'd like to move away from big, start-to-finish tutorials, and have more pages that are individual steps, with a main page that links to each step in turn. This helps with compartmentalization and searching.

However, no one has time to really do that, so it hasn't happened. As-is, this and the basic tutorial do seem redundant, and the basic tutorial seems better. I'll... try to think of a good solution.

Well, I've got plenty of time between classes for the most part (at least until midterms in a few weeks) and I'm supposed to be reading through all the tutorials from the bottom up. Maybe I can assist in the effort, or do you need someone more qualified (ie: actually knows how to use the CS beforehand vs. learning on the way)?

No, honestly, fresh eyes would do this site a world of good. One of the major problems that we've had is that the only people editing are highly experienced and very familiar with the Wiki, which makes it almost impossible to see the flaws. Frankly, go right ahead and do whatever you think looks best: It's literally impossible to break things permanently. Documenting major changes will help me to keep track of things so I can help, though.
