Are they useful for anything? --JustTim 12:28, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Hmm... name menu... is it possible to copy the player's name to something?Haama 17:20, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

ShowNameMenu doesn't seem to do anything, it accepts a reference in front, and it seems to completely ignore what you put behind it. I tested it in the console, before I left the sewers, afterwards, in the inventory, map and spell menu. It doesn't matter what reference you use either. I think this one is disabled.

ShowViewerStrings is a lot more interesting, very interesting actually. It needs a reference in front, can be anything. It show a whole bunch of information about the NIF file and some other things like form ID, Editor ID. The NIF information includes different properties, sometimes havok information, the name of the root node and a lot more. It's worth investigating this further.

SetSceneIsComplex, SetNoAvoidance, SetAllVisible and SetAllReachable all have a page of their own now. DumpMasterFileSeekData and StartMasterFileSeekData still need to be tested.

Placing subcategories on one page

Any way to do that? As of now, there are 11 on the first page and 2 on the last page.--Haama 13:07, 14 February 2008 (EST)

The tree

I gotta' say - I'm not liking it. This is all stuff that's available if you click on Function Types, and you have to scroll down quite a bit now to get to the functions. Also, whatever happened to the Goto by Letter thing? It may have shown up on the page a bit odd, but it worked and didn't overlap anything important. I'd like to see that again.--Haama 11:58, 28 May 2008 (EDT)

I commented out the letter thing because it didn't work on Internet Explorer and Opera, with the intent to fix it as soon as I got the time. It's still on my todo list, so I'll get to it.

I think the tree makes things clearer for new users, I already know perfectly well how the functions category is organized. I think it will help, but personally I wouldn't mind if it's removed.

The problem is that a lot of people have difficulty using Categories. I don't really know why, but it's been a perennial complaint. Maybe a separate page would be more appropriate.

Alright, I moved the tree to another page, stole Wikipedia's alphabetic thing (works like a charm, tested IE and Opera), learned how to forcibly remove the external link styling, and put all of the subcategories on the first page in what I consider to be an excellent mimicry of the actual subcategory style.

Is that better?

Dragoon Wraith TALK 15:41, 28 May 2008 (EDT)

Well, hid the 'real' subcategories as well as I could. Hard to do more because we can't use the fake system we used with the Settings, as the Category articles themselves get in the way.

Oh, oh my - that's beautiful, and they all show up on every page. Great work DW!--Haama 16:43, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
