Tdn Help

#1 Hi Frank,

You may have already seen these, but if not here you go . . .

Start with this . . .

tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Meta

Which will take you to these . . .

tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Meta/How_to_Write_and_Format_an_Article_for_TDN

tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Meta/Syntax_Guide

tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Meta/Style_Guide

Actually, that whole page (meta) is pretty handy. Good luck. ;)

#2 The links are now in the hub templates, so press the edit at the top of the page in the DTS section, then scroll down until you find all the links to Blender articles. They are all within the double column hub. The Blender section goes like this:

{{Template:HubFullDouble|Blender3D Exporter|
[[DTS/Blender/Downloading and Installing the Exporter|Downloading and Installing the Exporter]]
[[DTS/Blender/Exporter_User_Interface_Overview|Exporter User Interface Overview]]
[[DTS/Blender/Creating a Simple Shape|Creating a Simple Shape]]
[[DTS/Blender/Creating a simple weapon|Creating a Simple Weapon]]
[[DTS/Blender/Creating a Simple Wheeled Vehicle|Creating a Simple Wheeled Vehicle]]
[[DTS/Blender/Creating a Simple Character|Creating a Simple Character]]
[[DTS/Blender/Resources|Blender Resources]]
|
(None)}}

Notice that each section is separated by a '|'. The first separated area defines the title, the second separated area defines the first column, and the third separated area defines the second column. This varies depending on how the template is setup.

In your case, you would remove (none) from the third separated area, then you would link your article to the page by adding [[path/to/your/article|TITLE NAME]] in the third separated area. I would suggest adding it to the DTS/Blender/ section.

Good Luck! Remember, if you do something wrong you can always ask someone here or on IRC to help, or you can leave it and we'll be able to fix it based on the recent changes to TDN, and a descriptive summary of what the changes are.

#3 Thanks for the start:

This is what I have so far. It will be changing rapidly as I work on the different parts of the tutorial. I am still fuzzy on the whole style thing, but if someone wanted to play with the style I would not mind.

Thanks again
