Modanung: /* Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? */ Slight rephrasing

Here is a place to discuss ideas and coordinate improvments to the LibreGameWiki itself.

Please use a number of :-characters at the beginning of your paragraph to indent it. You can sign your edits by using the second but last button in the toolbar.

Feel free to [https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Libregamewiki:Community_portal&action=edit&section=new ask] questions on this page. By the way, do you know the [[Libregamewiki:The classroom|FAQ]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article policy‎|Article policy‎]]?

== How do we make it easier for potential contributors to help? ==

How can we make it easier for potential contributors to help? Since the beginning of October account creation works without red tape again. This is a great step forward. Is there anything we can do to further improve the articles explaining how to contribute?
:Well, for once, we might want to fix the following explanation, which I see whenever I try to create a new page, hours after creating my account: "If you just created a new account, please wait a couple of minutes". :)
:[Edit: now I can create the page fine. Thank you.]
:It would be great if you could give a rank to users that contribute to wiki, which would save them from long pending periods. Saying that as an amazingly impatient person. --[[User:Yutyo|Yutyo]] ([[User talk:Yutyo|talk]])

Its been 2 hours for me and i still cant create a page, can someone change that message? -- [[User:Impulse|Impulse]]
:I remember that there is a restriction related to the User page. You need to have one approved edit before you can create it. Maybe this also applies to all pages in general. Since you now have an approved edit, is it now possible for you to create the page you wanted to create? --[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 23:00, 31 October 2023 (CET)

== Main Page ==
I think it may be a good idea to have a little paragraph at the top of the main page which explains what LibreGameWiki is.
:The front page links to [[Libregamewiki]] which is currently outdated, the main page could have a summary with more detail on that page. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:31, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
Shall we have a small "How to contribute?" or "Help wanted" section on the main page which links to the relevant articles? What would it look like?
:Yes. It should link to an updated [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy]] and [[List of games]] [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:31, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
: There could also be a portal for this in the side bar. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:47, 6 October 2012 (CEST)

== Which article should be featured next? ==

There is quite a number of very good articles. I think we should change the featured article on the main page more frequently to draw attention to them.

:Yes, I already asked a recent productive user, [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] for his thoughts for the next one. Generally, we should ask the wider community to help choose somehow. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:32, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
::In my opinion we should pick a reasonably good article to feature next, and give it a little special attention. The information in the current feature is already years out of date. I'd suggest the [[Special:LongPages]] list as a good place to start looking. [[FreedroidRPG]] and [[Globulation 2]] are examples which could be easily made into a good feature. Input would be needed from someone who has rights to pick a featured article. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 14:24, 27 December 2021 (CET)

== Engines for non-free games with no free games using them ==

Hi. Should free remakes of engines for non-free games be accepted as free engines, if they have never been (and not necessarily intended to be) used for a playable free game yet? Examples: [[OpenMW]], [http://www.etlegacy.com/ Enemy Territory: Legacy]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 12:35, 28 November 2012 (CET)
:My two pence: I'd class those as free engines. Their use case is irrelevant, and it could be considered as a matter of timing, for example: a free engine which was created and then later used for a non-free game doesn't make the engine non-free.[[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:46, 28 November 2012 (CET)
There is already [[OpenMoHAA]], so I guess other non-free game engine recreations are allowed as well. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 10:56, 26 January 2021 (CET)

I'll let you guys figure out what "should" be done, but I can make the distinction more blurry! :). There *is* a open source game that uses [[OpenMW]] as it's engine. The game is [https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/modding/openmw-game-template.html openmw-template] described in [https://openmw.org/faq/#do_i_need_morrowind here] in the faq. However, the game isn't actually *fun* to a point that some people might say it's not actually a game. (However, I don't think the game has to be fun to be listed here) 2023-01-30

== Game articles redirecting to genre list ==

I'm seeing odd behavior. If I try to go to the following articles:

* https://libregamewiki.org/Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/PARPG

I get redirected to the RPG genre page:

https://libregamewiki.org/Role-playing_games

If I use non-rewrite links, however, they seem to work.

* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=PARPG

Could there perhaps be an error in the URL rewriting rules?

--[[User:Cov|Cov]] ([[User talk:Cov|talk]]) 22:33, 31 August 2013 (CEST)

: Thank you for the report. I fixed it. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 17:04, 8 September 2013 (CEST)

==License Choice==

The CC-BY is a non-copyleft license, and unless I'm mistaken, the GFDL is a copyleft license, which is why CC-BY-SA was chosen for Wikipedia when it dual-licensed to make it compatible with other CC sites. If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)

: The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor "or later". And personally, after this stunt, I don't think "or later" is a good idea at all. --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 08:16, 11 January 2014 (CET)

:: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the "invariant sections" and "transparency" terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)

::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL. If you want to use content from LGW, you can pick the license you want to comply with. Please keep in mind that copyleft is only one of the difference between the licenses (please read the full text of both licenses to learn about other demands required by each of the licenses). --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 13:21, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::: I intended to answer, but I got an edit conflict earlier. Anyway, some points:
::::* Being CC-BY licensed, this wiki's text can be contributed to Wikipedia if properly attributed: see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_include_a_work_licensed_with_CC_BY_in_a_Wikipedia_article_even_though_they_use_a_CC_BY-SA_license.3F CC FAQ] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Compatible_license#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia copyright FAQ].
::::*Wikipedia is not entirely dual-licensed: all of it is available under CC-BY-SA (except the ''fairly used'' stuff). On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.

:::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. When I edit Wikipedia it says "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License *and* the GFDL..." (emphasis mine) --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

::::*As I recall, Debian only considers the GFDL non-free if there are invariant sections involved, see [http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 this vote]. What is the problematic "transparency" term?
::::*The lack of a "or later" clause precludes our stuff from being used in the [http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page Free Software Directory]. This may be a pity, because their goal is rather similar to ours. -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 19:40, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::::: Is the copyright in LGW content owned by the original author(s) or the project? If there was a consensus among all LGW copyright holders, the content could be relicensed under any license they choose. This would not revoke previous licenses on the same content, but would apply to all existing content, and only the new license would apply to new content. As I said initially, I can't see the benefit of using CC-BY for a collaborative reference wiki, and I think CC-BY-SA would be a better choice, as it means any improvements made in derivative works are available to be backported into LGW. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==

Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem. But I have not been able to find any better place.

When connecting to libregamewiki, some web-browsers (Mozilla based: firefox, iceweasel, icecat, seamonkey etc.) displays a warning page stating "This Connection is Untrusted". I have tested this on several computers with several browsers with both GNU/Linux and Windows OS, so it seems to be a problem that applies to everyone that uses these browsers.

The following details are given:

-libregamewiki.org uses an invalid security certificate.

-The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

-(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

--[[User:LibreGamer|Hurdman]] ([[User talk:LibreGamer|talk]]) 15:34, 8 February 2015 (CET)

: As of March 21, 2015 this problem no longer occurs. I am guessing that the security certificate has been updated. --[[User:LibreGamer|Hurdman]] ([[User talk:LibreGamer|talk]]) 14:06, 21 March 2015 (CET)

== A few things: Thanks for fighting spam ==
Hopefully the Argentinian/Brazilian wiki spammers have no places left...

I am inquiring about the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and the BSD version of Rogue.

I posess a copy of the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and have screen shots of the screens, which wikisneeripedia
seems not able to read 'Public Domain."

If need be, I can contact either Michael Toy or Glenn Wichman ( who published the sources to the PC Version/Commercial version) about
verifying the public domain version is indeed the public domain version.

== Article looks like ... data corruption?! ==

The article [[SDL_games]] is messed up. Even the old version that was ok some months ago is ... corrupted? --[[User:Gegxt|Gegxt]] ([[User talk:Gegxt|talk]]) 16:52, 27 July 2015 (CEST)

: Could you specify what looks corrupted? To me the article looks fine. [[User:LibreGamer|LibreGamer]] ([[User talk:LibreGamer|talk]]) 17:46, 31 July 2015 (CEST)

::Now I see it. It was only visible if one views the article after logging in. When not logged in the article looks fine. [[User:LibreGamer|LibreGamer]] ([[User talk:LibreGamer|talk]]) 17:46, 31 July 2015 (CEST)

:: I fixed the template, thanks for the hint. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 19:18, 31 July 2015 (CEST)

::: I can confirm the fix. Thanks for fixing. (section can be deleted / archived) --[[User:Gegxt|Gegxt]] ([[User talk:Gegxt|talk]]) 14:38, 8 August 2015 (CEST)

== Copying from Wikipedia ==

I note the warning at the bottom of edit pages not to copy from Wikipedia. I'm assuming this is out of date, as Wikipedia is now dual-licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0? If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki.

This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not "notable" enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia. This problem has disturbed Wikipedians enough that one (or a group?) has set up the [http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy_deletion_Wiki SpeedyDeletion] wiki to rescue pages before they are removed, in case their contents are still of interest to other wikis like this one.
--[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 06:17, 6 October 2015 (CEST)

:Hi there. I'm afraid the warning has to remain as this wiki is cc-by or gfdl and wikipedia is cc-by-sa. (If you combine those cc license, the end result is the stricter of those, i.e. the one used by wikipedia) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 13:59, 12 October 2015 (CEST)

::Oops! I didn't notice the lack of the "SA" part of the LGW license when I made this post, and I totally forgot I already started a discussion about license choice further up. As I said there, all Wikipedia content is licensed under both CC-BY-SA *and* GPFDL. If content was imported from Wikipedia, it would have to be marked as such, to indicate that it can't not be used under CC-BY. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:40, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Posting images ==

Hi!
I try to help someone to edit his game's page. Yesterday, his IP was block cause abuse (probably tried to much html lines to make edit as he wanted). I looked all around your site to understand how to post an image through your site, and choose categories for his game, but found nothing about it. Is there somewhere an option to make it directly?
-How upload an image on your site (I think it will be ok to post it on the edit of the game's page, but would be appreciated to have the exact html line to be sure)
-How to add categories for a game.

P.S.: maybe there is an error on the chat... you let us know that we can connect as guest, but all times I tried, this don't work, cause I don't have a nickname.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Answers could be send to tricotvanille2003@hotmail.com, or directly to the member Electro l.i.b

== Spam & blocking users/IP ==

On the "Recent changes" page, I see there's a lot of spam-fighting going on. It's good that LGW is being valiantly defended against the incessant spam bots, but I think the Abuse filter is sometimes a little quick to block well meaning users. The anonymous user recently working on the Liberated Pixel Cup page, and two weeks ago even the registered user Lanadapter got on the block list, presumably because they made a series of small edits in a short time. Would it be possible to differentiate a bit better between real editors and spammer, so that we don't turn down actual contributors (while keeping the spam out, of course)? -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 15:24, 14 February 2017 (CET)

== Lists and categories ==

Wouldn't be better to direct the reader to categories of games, instead of lists of games by genre, like [[Roguelike games]]? The list can get easily outdated.

== Board games page broken ==

When I'm logged in, I can see an up-to-date version of [[Board games]], but when I'm not logged in, I can only see a very old version from 2013. Could the reason be that this page was protected in 2012? If yes, could you remove the protection or ensure otherwise that the autogeneration by the bot works again and the generated page is visible to all users? Thanks --[[User:Blokusguy|Blokusguy]] ([[User talk:Blokusguy|talk]]) 07:42, 29 July 2017 (CEST)

== How to add a game? ==

# Please [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] with mail adress and confirm that you own the mail adress. The create account link is also available in the upper right corner. There may be traps against spammer. Read the pages after sending a request for login creation or changing a page!
# Read the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|Article policy]] and other articles from [[Libregamewiki:Get_involved|Get involved]]
# Make sure you are logged in and in the "Autoconfirmed users" group. Details can be found on your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]] page.
# Enter the title of the new page in the search box in the upper right corner and search for it. Before the search results, if there are some, there is a bold line with "Create the page "Example game name" on this wiki!" (I searched for "Example game name"). The "Example game name" is a link for creating a new page. If this line doesn't appear, make sure you clicked the confirmation link in the confirmation mail.
# When creating a new page, there are links to templates for games, humans and redirects above the big text box. Click on a template before entering text.
# If the link to the game home page isn't shown in the text add a == External Links == section with the URL

== Unable to auto confirm account ==

I can't create pages add I'm a member of group Users but not Auto confirmed Users. I didn't receive a confirmation message. I tried changing my email address but still no. Can you resend a confirmation message or confirm my account? Thanks! Eagle

:I'm now an Auto Confirmed Users group, not sure how that happened exactly. --[[User:Eagle|Eagle]] ([[User talk:Eagle|talk]]) 18:56, 27 January 2018 (CET)
:: The same happened to me. -- [[User:Nudin|Nudin]] ([[User talk:Nudin|talk]]) 20:37, 19 January 2019 (CET)

I have the same problem. I can't autoconfirm. Could you send me a confirmation email? thanks,
qbancoffee

I can't autoconfirm as well. Can you send a confirmation email or confirm my account? Thanks! -- Bitsplit

Same here.

:: The ''autoconfirmed'' status is not related to email confirmation, but to the number of approved edits in the mail article namespace. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 21:39, 5 May 2022 (CEST)

This section requires a cleanup to clarify the steps a user needs to take in order to be assigned to the Auto-confirmed users group.

== How to add games to genre listings? ==

How to add a game to the genre listings page, [[Educational games]] and [[GPL games]]? Or does that happen on its own after the game has been added to the appropriate category? Thank you! :) --[[User:Eagle|Eagle]] ([[User talk:Eagle|talk]]) 18:55, 27 January 2018 (CET)

: Yes, those pages are periodically generated based on the categories. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 00:01, 27 February 2018 (CET)

== Vandalism ==

Hi!

I think [[Special:Contributions/95.70.132.254|contributions by 95.70.132.254]] should be mass reverted (and maybe this IP blocked). —[[Special:Contributions/2A01:CB11:421:F500:6E5E:2123:F965:8FC4|2A01:CB11:421:F500:6E5E:2123:F965:8FC4]] 02:02, 26 November 2018 (CET)

== Version updates from Wikidata? ==

New versions come all the time and it's tedious to update manually. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] might have many of the items here and could get updated more often than LGW. Their data is in the public domain. Can somebody figure out how to incorporate it automagically? That would help keeping up to date also the recent releases box on the front page of LGW. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 11:51, 22 January 2019 (CET)
: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability Wikidata:Notability] requires that a page exists in one of its sister projects and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(video_games) Wikipedia:Notability (video games)] is much stricter than what can be included in Libregamewiki. I doubt that using Wikidata would help much with keeping the list of new releases up-to-date. --[[User:Blokusguy|Blokusguy]] ([[User talk:Blokusguy|talk]]) 13:18, 10 February 2019 (CET)
:: Wiki page existence is not the only criterion for notability. F/OSS games fall under at least the second one ("clearly identifiable conceptual or material entity" which "can be described using serious and publicly available references"), and in many cases the third one ("it is needed to make statements made in other items more useful"), when it can be linked to the author. --[[User:AMDmi3|AMDmi3]] ([[User talk:AMDmi3|talk]]) 21:05, 28 October 2019 (CET)
::: Additionally, LGW is in most cases a 'serious and publically-available reference'. [[User:Arlo James Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo James Barnes|talk]]) 09:26, 23 January 2020 (CET)
:It could help with popular projects like [[OpenTTD]] which also have a Wikipedia page and update frequently. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 15:04, 7 February 2021 (CET)

== Duplicated reference names break genre pages ==

Problem: I.e. [[:Category:Pages with reference errors]] (yes red link but still go ahead and click!). Open one of those list articles and scroll down to the bottom of the page where the references are to see the errors with the similarly named references between the included articles.

Solutions?: Perhaps the references could be somehow removed from the genre list articles? Of course the silly solution would be to manually edit the articles to change ref names... but that's a lot of work and not exactly future proof. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 14:19, 25 January 2019 (CET)

== Machine readable dump of wikidata entries metadata ==

For the [https://repology.org Repology] project, I need a complete list of all games with their versions, homepages and preferably other metadata. Among other this this would allow to discover more [https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=libregamewiki&outdated=1 outdated version information] in LGW and also to link ([https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q214142#P6666 example]) Wikidata entries to LGW.

Currently, Repology parses [[New_games_and_releases]] page, however it does not seem to contain all entries. For instance, [[BZFlag]], [[Colobot]], [[Freeciv]] are missing despide they fulfill the requirements listed at the buttom of New games page.

It would be great if all conforming games would be listed on that page, even better if there's an extra special page which lists all entries with <tt>latest release</tt> defined, probably in more parsing friendly format (e.g., a table, or even better an XML/JSON file).

--[[User:AMDmi3|AMDmi3]] ([[User talk:AMDmi3|talk]]) 21:24, 28 October 2019 (CET)

: You can query the database with <nowiki>{{#databasequery:gamelist|Wikitable|Game list header|Game list row|%}}</nowiki>. This will render a table with all games (% is a wildcard) with the [[Template:Game list header]] as table header and [[Template:Game list row]] as table row. In the second template all variables defined in the Gameinfo box can be used. Both templates are used on [[List of games]], but you can create your own template. Colobot was on the list. BZFlag and Freeciv showed up after I edited the article and saved it without changes. I am not sure why that happened. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 22:28, 18 November 2019 (CET)

== Pending review ==

What is the policy on "pending review" edits? I mean, after how many edits is a user free to edit without supervision. Checking your work while you commit it (especially if it is multistaged, as in "add image + add new article") is very useful. [[User:Ffa|Ffa]] ([[User talk:Ffa|talk]]) 09:57, 17 December 2019 (CET)
:I also don't understand why you still think I am a spam bot. Saving an article and not seeing any result is a terrible user experience. Another problem: this creates broken links because the articles get aggregated on the front page, but both image and article are unavailable. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 09:43, 16 February 2022 (CET)
::I have been granted rights to edit without review after a significant number of edits. My personal opinion is that LGW would receive better content by following the recommended best practice, which is to have edits automatically accepted as soon as there is enough evidence to see that a user is a real person (or at least a real person making helpful edits). If the user then misbehaves, consequences can be applied. The way it is currently takes a heavy toll on the patience of new users who might give up even before creating an account. This skews the ratio of spammers to users over time, where I have to invoke the law of unintended consequences: It could well be making moderation harder in the long term by making helpful edits a smaller percentage of the total. I don't make the rules; I am merely a guest here. I hope that [[User:Kiba | our gracious host]] would find the suggestion helpful and consider it.

:Hey Ffa! I completely understand your frustration. However there has been a problem with spammers so LGW was forced to adopt some kind of a solution to deal with them.

:: Excellent! My suggestion would be: when a user "collects" N edits and has been a member for T time, upgrade their status to "no review required". This might be automatic or (even better) on request of the user themselves. I admit I have zero wiki experience, so I don't know if this is viable.

== Free engines with no existing free games ==

Hi, I'd like to ask about this. I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:54, 8 December 2020 (CET)
:I should add just in case: Yes, there is discussion on OpenMW higher up on the page but it mostly doesn't apply here because that was before the page was deleted and OpenMW has changed considerably. Improvements to the Costruction Set are particularly relevant. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 17:49, 10 December 2020 (CET)

== Moderation policy ==

Anyone care to explain the moderation policy? Normal recommended practice for mediawiki is to not send every edit from users known to be real people for moderation. I can understand if that is necessary on LGW due to high spam levels. If edits that I made just sit there and don't appear, while edits from other users continue to show up approved day by day, I have no way of knowing if something is wrong. There's no log, no queue visible to me, no rejection notice, nothing. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:32, 27 December 2020 (CET)
:Looks like somebody flagged you as spammer. I have now removed this flag. Your old contributions cannot be automatically accepted anymore. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 07:32, 3 February 2021 (CET)
::Thank you, that helped. It may have been due to my recording a large number of very similar small edits adding repository info to pages, perhaps it was even automatic (due to the same edit summary). This thing with the old contributions is a little bit of a mess since now when I edit a page it remembers my version which isn't up to date (e.g. when making this edit I have to manually add your and another comment back in). But it is workable. I hope I don't accidentally delete someone's edit at some point in future by forgetting/negligence.

== Distro logos ==

Hi, I thought it good that we should add FreeBSD to the list of platforms. The FreeBSD logo is, however, a bit of a grey area w.r.t. the media policy on LGW. (To an extent so are the other distro logos because they are trademarks.) On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark. What's the attitude over here? Do we upload an SVG of the logo and mark it as not under the same licence as the rest of LGW? Do we just leave it blank? Let it default to some kind of "media not allowed" image? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:45, 6 February 2021 (CET)

==Games without fixed releases==
I've been wondering how to deal with games such as Space Nerds in Space, which deserves an entry but has no official release numbers anywhere that I can find. In other words it's just a repository and basically works by rolling release. Any ideas? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:18, 30 May 2021 (CEST)
: Not really an answer to your question, but still...<br>There's a new page for [[The night wolves attacked the mountain village of Venzone]], where no "latest release" is filled into the Gameinfo template.

==Game info template==
Does anyone understand why [[:Template:Gameinfo]] will properly display the homepage link for some games but not others? "|link homepage(some spaces)=" works in e.g. [[Naev]] but does not work for most of the new games we add. I've noticed that the template is sensitive to plural vs. singular (e.g. "|platform =" must be one and "|platforms =" for multiple) and we have a lot of pages to clean up in that respect. Homepage, on the other hand, I don't understand. The template code looks normal though I'm not that good at mediawiki—just can't get it working.

== Adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features ==

I am proposing to adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features

Through the years I have witnessed a disturbing trend of developer-developer, developer-user and user-user communication in libre games leaving libre services for proprietary ones. These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.

Examples of tags would be

* "promotes non-free network services" when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.
* "promotes non-free addons" when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.
-- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎

: SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think "promotes" is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 12:23, 20 February 2022 (CET)

:: To use an example from that linked FDroid page, "Tracking - tracks and/or reports your activity to somewhere, even when it can be turned off" -- so being optional or not is less the point than that the user may end up restricting their freedom without intending to. That said, I am in favour of such labelling but only if presented in an informational, non-hostile manner. I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click. This way it doesn't seem like a contextless statement. [[User:Arlo James Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo James Barnes|talk]]) 08:42, 24 March 2022 (CET)

== License of images / screenshots ==

According to [[Libregamewiki:The_classroom#Images|Classroom]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy#Image_uploads|Article policy]] I have to put images I upload under a free license. Are these (suggested) pretty hidden rules added by [[Libregamewiki_talk:Article_policy#About_free_screenshots|Driss 21:29, 26 January 2008]] valid? Do the licenses of elements in the screenshot influence what license I'm allowed to choose? How do I decide about the license of an image or screenshot I made of a game? [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)
:To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.
:An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify—assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses. Here I'd blame nobody claiming an exception under fair use (US law, no impact on value and for education and review purposes) but perhaps our host might disagree.
:In my uploads I simply state that the assets displayed have their licences as indicated in the game repository and don't claim rights for the screenshot. The composition normally also confers copyright, but then the licence I chose would have to be compatible with the asset licence(s) so Public Domain removes a headache.

::: I somehow doubt that this question can be answered with the information on this wiki. Alone for the reason that not necessarily all releases of a game are or were written down.

== Automatic &action=purge for important lists ==

IMHO the section Recently released games on the [[Main_Page|main page]] (info probably connected to [[New_games_and_releases]]) and the [[Template:Genre_menu|Genre menu]] at the top of most pages are probably the main ways people explore Libregamewiki and use to access articles.
Sadly from my observations those lists don't update automatically. One has to purge the lists manually. And additionally the lists to purge are different for logged in users and not logged in users (Different storage areas / caches?). This means when one purges the list when logged in, it only updates for logged in users. For those not logged in it stays not updated. This is especially problematic because most visitors of LibreGameWiki will certainly access the lists not logged in because they even don't own an account. For example the list [[Board games]] which I probably purged after making changes to OpenKropki on 2022-11-11 by adding categories.
<gallery caption="Differences when logged in and not on 2022-12-06">
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_logged_in.png |Everything looks fine at the bottom of the list Board games when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in.png |All the old errors caused by references not using unique names are still visible when not logged in.
File:Board_games__2022-12-06_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2022-01-21 and OpenKropki 2020-11-19 when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2021-12-05 and OpenKropki isn't even there when not logged in.
</gallery>
I therefore think that LibreGameWiki would benefit from a '''little program that regularly purges''' those '''lists automatically for logged in and not logged in users'''. The section Recently released games or respectively the list [[New_games_and_releases|New games and releases]] should be purged at least daily while for the (other) lists in Genre menu a longer period would be sufficient, a week, a fortnight or maybe even a month.

== Genre lists ==

The way the games are organized in the genre lists is unsatisfying.

For example roguelikes in adventures. Or where to put the pet breeding games?

And the "More" menu contains nothing (you get only results when clicking on it).

== Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? ==

What should the "image" field in the "[[Template:Gameinfo]]" be interpreted as?
Should screenshots be the "preferred default"? Can other images (like promo art) be used and if yes, when?
I believe picking a screenshot by default (which is true for most games atm) makes sense for consistency. A different image should IMHO only be chosen when no good screenshot exists (yet). It is weird when the game overview page is a weird mix of game logos and screenshots because contributors cannot agree on what type of image to put there.
[[User:Modanung]] recently reverted my edit on [[Tux!]] to replace the game logo with a real screenshot.
The reason for my opinion is because picking a screenshot instead of logo, "box art" or any other "promo" art is that it is more "neutral", and this is how most pages are treated anyway. Your thoughts? --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think (immediate) consistency is not an argument here, as it would prevent applying any (change in the) convention, unless it were to be immediately applied to half of the almost 700 games on LGW. For reference, I just had a look at several Wikipedia pages about games and other software. There, software infoboxes have both the logo (at the top) with a screenshot below it, whereas game infoboxes show ''only'' cover art, without a screenshot. The first image is shown in page previews, and I would argue that what we have in the list of recently released games is the closest thing to page previews on LGW. Maybe it would be nice to have a pop-up when hovering, for pages where a screenshot gallery is detected and show screenshot thumbnails in there? This would provide the best of both worlds, and make a whole range of screenshots readily available, with the main page being more like search results on itch.

:Yes, I already asked a recent productive user, [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] for his thoughts for the next one. Generally, we should ask the wider community to help choose somehow. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:32, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
::In my opinion we should pick a reasonably good article to feature next, and give it a little special attention. The information in the current feature is already years out of date. I'd suggest the [[Special:LongPages]] list as a good place to start looking. [[FreedroidRPG]] and [[Globulation 2]] are examples which could be easily made into a good feature. Input would be needed from someone who has rights to pick a featured article. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 14:24, 27 December 2021 (CET)

== Engines for non-free games with no free games using them ==

Hi. Should free remakes of engines for non-free games be accepted as free engines, if they have never been (and not necessarily intended to be) used for a playable free game yet? Examples: [[OpenMW]], [http://www.etlegacy.com/ Enemy Territory: Legacy]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 12:35, 28 November 2012 (CET)
:My two pence: I'd class those as free engines. Their use case is irrelevant, and it could be considered as a matter of timing, for example: a free engine which was created and then later used for a non-free game doesn't make the engine non-free.[[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:46, 28 November 2012 (CET)
There is already [[OpenMoHAA]], so I guess other non-free game engine recreations are allowed as well. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 10:56, 26 January 2021 (CET)

I'll let you guys figure out what "should" be done, but I can make the distinction more blurry! :). There *is* a open source game that uses [[OpenMW]] as it's engine. The game is [https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/modding/openmw-game-template.html openmw-template] described in [https://openmw.org/faq/#do_i_need_morrowind here] in the faq. However, the game isn't actually *fun* to a point that some people might say it's not actually a game. (However, I don't think the game has to be fun to be listed here) 2023-01-30

== Game articles redirecting to genre list ==

I'm seeing odd behavior. If I try to go to the following articles:

* https://libregamewiki.org/Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/PARPG

I get redirected to the RPG genre page:

https://libregamewiki.org/Role-playing_games

If I use non-rewrite links, however, they seem to work.

* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=PARPG

Could there perhaps be an error in the URL rewriting rules?

==License Choice==

The CC-BY is a non-copyleft license, and unless I'm mistaken, the GFDL is a copyleft license, which is why CC-BY-SA was chosen for Wikipedia when it dual-licensed to make it compatible with other CC sites. If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)

: The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor "or later". And personally, after this stunt, I don't think "or later" is a good idea at all. --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 08:16, 11 January 2014 (CET)

:: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the "invariant sections" and "transparency" terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)

::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL. If you want to use content from LGW, you can pick the license you want to comply with. Please keep in mind that copyleft is only one of the difference between the licenses (please read the full text of both licenses to learn about other demands required by each of the licenses). --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 13:21, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::: I intended to answer, but I got an edit conflict earlier. Anyway, some points:
::::* Being CC-BY licensed, this wiki's text can be contributed to Wikipedia if properly attributed: see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_include_a_work_licensed_with_CC_BY_in_a_Wikipedia_article_even_though_they_use_a_CC_BY-SA_license.3F CC FAQ] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Compatible_license#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia copyright FAQ].
::::*Wikipedia is not entirely dual-licensed: all of it is available under CC-BY-SA (except the ''fairly used'' stuff). On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.

:::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. When I edit Wikipedia it says "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License *and* the GFDL..." (emphasis mine) --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

::::*As I recall, Debian only considers the GFDL non-free if there are invariant sections involved, see [http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 this vote]. What is the problematic "transparency" term?
::::*The lack of a "or later" clause precludes our stuff from being used in the [http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page Free Software Directory]. This may be a pity, because their goal is rather similar to ours. -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 19:40, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::::: Is the copyright in LGW content owned by the original author(s) or the project? If there was a consensus among all LGW copyright holders, the content could be relicensed under any license they choose. This would not revoke previous licenses on the same content, but would apply to all existing content, and only the new license would apply to new content. As I said initially, I can't see the benefit of using CC-BY for a collaborative reference wiki, and I think CC-BY-SA would be a better choice, as it means any improvements made in derivative works are available to be backported into LGW. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==

Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem. But I have not been able to find any better place.

When connecting to libregamewiki, some web-browsers (Mozilla based: firefox, iceweasel, icecat, seamonkey etc.) displays a warning page stating "This Connection is Untrusted". I have tested this on several computers with several browsers with both GNU/Linux and Windows OS, so it seems to be a problem that applies to everyone that uses these browsers.

The following details are given:

-libregamewiki.org uses an invalid security certificate.

-The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

-(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

--[[User:LibreGamer|Hurdman]] ([[User talk:LibreGamer|talk]]) 15:34, 8 February 2015 (CET)

== A few things: Thanks for fighting spam ==
Hopefully the Argentinian/Brazilian wiki spammers have no places left...

I am inquiring about the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and the BSD version of Rogue.

I posess a copy of the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and have screen shots of the screens, which wikisneeripedia
seems not able to read 'Public Domain."

If need be, I can contact either Michael Toy or Glenn Wichman ( who published the sources to the PC Version/Commercial version) about
verifying the public domain version is indeed the public domain version.

== Copying from Wikipedia ==

I note the warning at the bottom of edit pages not to copy from Wikipedia. I'm assuming this is out of date, as Wikipedia is now dual-licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0? If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki.

This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not "notable" enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia. This problem has disturbed Wikipedians enough that one (or a group?) has set up the [http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy_deletion_Wiki SpeedyDeletion] wiki to rescue pages before they are removed, in case their contents are still of interest to other wikis like this one.
--[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 06:17, 6 October 2015 (CEST)

:Hi there. I'm afraid the warning has to remain as this wiki is cc-by or gfdl and wikipedia is cc-by-sa. (If you combine those cc license, the end result is the stricter of those, i.e. the one used by wikipedia) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 13:59, 12 October 2015 (CEST)

::Oops! I didn't notice the lack of the "SA" part of the LGW license when I made this post, and I totally forgot I already started a discussion about license choice further up. As I said there, all Wikipedia content is licensed under both CC-BY-SA *and* GPFDL. If content was imported from Wikipedia, it would have to be marked as such, to indicate that it can't not be used under CC-BY. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:40, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Posting images ==

Hi!
I try to help someone to edit his game's page. Yesterday, his IP was block cause abuse (probably tried to much html lines to make edit as he wanted). I looked all around your site to understand how to post an image through your site, and choose categories for his game, but found nothing about it. Is there somewhere an option to make it directly?
-How upload an image on your site (I think it will be ok to post it on the edit of the game's page, but would be appreciated to have the exact html line to be sure)
-How to add categories for a game.

P.S.: maybe there is an error on the chat... you let us know that we can connect as guest, but all times I tried, this don't work, cause I don't have a nickname.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

== Spam & blocking users/IP ==

On the "Recent changes" page, I see there's a lot of spam-fighting going on. It's good that LGW is being valiantly defended against the incessant spam bots, but I think the Abuse filter is sometimes a little quick to block well meaning users. The anonymous user recently working on the Liberated Pixel Cup page, and two weeks ago even the registered user Lanadapter got on the block list, presumably because they made a series of small edits in a short time. Would it be possible to differentiate a bit better between real editors and spammer, so that we don't turn down actual contributors (while keeping the spam out, of course)? -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 15:24, 14 February 2017 (CET)

== Lists and categories ==

Wouldn't be better to direct the reader to categories of games, instead of lists of games by genre, like [[Roguelike games]]? The list can get easily outdated.

== Board games page broken ==

When I'm logged in, I can see an up-to-date version of [[Board games]], but when I'm not logged in, I can only see a very old version from 2013. Could the reason be that this page was protected in 2012?

== Version updates from Wikidata? ==

New versions come all the time and it's tedious to update manually. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] might have many of the items here and could get updated more often than LGW. Their data is in the public domain.

: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability Wikidata:Notability] requires that a page exists in one of its sister projects and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(video_games) Wikipedia:Notability (video games)] is much stricter than what can be included in Libregamewiki.

== Machine readable dump of wikidata entries metadata ==

For the [https://repology.org Repology] project, I need a complete list of all games with their versions, homepages and preferably other metadata. Among other this this would allow to discover more [https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=libregamewiki&outdated=1 outdated version information] in LGW and also to link ([https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q214142#P6666 example]) Wikidata entries to LGW.

Currently, Repology parses [[New_games_and_releases]] page, however it does not seem to contain all entries. For instance, [[BZFlag]], [[Colobot]], [[Freeciv]] are missing despide they fulfill the requirements listed at the buttom of New games page.

It would be great if all conforming games would be listed on that page, even better if there's an extra special page which lists all entries with <tt>latest release</tt> defined, probably in more parsing friendly format (e.g., a table, or even better an XML/JSON file).

== Pending review ==

What is the policy on "pending review" edits? I mean, after how many edits is a user free to edit without supervision.

::I have been granted rights to edit without review after a significant number of edits. My personal opinion is that LGW would receive better content by following the recommended best practice, which is to have edits automatically accepted as soon as there is enough evidence to see that a user is a real person (or at least a real person making helpful edits). If the user then misbehaves, consequences can be applied. The way it is currently takes a heavy toll on the patience of new users who might give up even before creating an account. This skews the ratio of spammers to users over time, where I have to invoke the law of unintended consequences: It could well be making moderation harder in the long term by making helpful edits a smaller percentage of the total.

== Free engines with no existing free games ==

Hi, I'd like to ask about this. I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:54, 8 December 2020 (CET)
:I should add just in case: Yes, there is discussion on OpenMW higher up on the page but it mostly doesn't apply here because that was before the page was deleted and OpenMW has changed considerably. Improvements to the Costruction Set are particularly relevant. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 17:49, 10 December 2020 (CET)

== Moderation policy ==

Anyone care to explain the moderation policy? Normal recommended practice for mediawiki is to not send every edit from users known to be real people for moderation. I can understand if that is necessary on LGW due to high spam levels. If edits that I made just sit there and don't appear, while edits from other users continue to show up approved day by day, I have no way of knowing if something is wrong. There's no log, no queue visible to me, no rejection notice, nothing. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:32, 27 December 2020 (CET)
:Looks like somebody flagged you as spammer. I have now removed this flag. Your old contributions cannot be automatically accepted anymore. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 07:32, 3 February 2021 (CET)
::Thank you, that helped. It may have been due to my recording a large number of very similar small edits adding repository info to pages, perhaps it was even automatic (due to the same edit summary). This thing with the old contributions is a little bit of a mess since now when I edit a page it remembers my version which isn't up to date (e.g. when making this edit I have to manually add your and another comment back in). But it is workable. I hope I don't accidentally delete someone's edit at some point in future by forgetting/negligence.

:I also have this issue. I haven't really done many things so far, but in regards to what I have submitted I feel like I've waited long enough for some sign of acknowledgement, whether that be of rejection or approval. Don't take this as some sort of rage-filled hitting out at the mods. It's just that my patience has become somewhat tested and I've been a bit confused about this for the past couple days.

== Distro logos ==

Hi, I thought it good that we should add FreeBSD to the list of platforms. The FreeBSD logo is, however, a bit of a grey area w.r.t. the media policy on LGW. (To an extent so are the other distro logos because they are trademarks.) On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark. What's the attitude over here? Do we upload an SVG of the logo and mark it as not under the same licence as the rest of LGW? Do we just leave it blank? Let it default to some kind of "media not allowed" image? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:45, 6 February 2021 (CET)

== Can't upload images ==

I recently created an article for my game but I couldn't upload images.

== Game only shows up in category page when logged in ==

Hi, I created a page for my game Super Bombinhas about a month ago and it is marked as Platform game. When I visit the "Platform Games" page anonymously, my game doesn't show up. However, when I access it logged in , the game does show up. The game page itself appears normally for anonyous users. Can someone help? Thanks.

==Games without fixed releases==
I've been wondering how to deal with games such as Space Nerds in Space, which deserves an entry but has no official release numbers anywhere that I can find. In other words it's just a repository and basically works by rolling release. Any ideas? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:18, 30 May 2021 (CEST)
: Not really an answer to your question, but still...<br>There's a new page for [[The night wolves attacked the mountain village of Venzone]], where no "latest release" is filled into the Gameinfo template. That seems to work, but it renders the release date inside a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> in the overview of recent releases. -- 16:58, 17 August 2021 (CEST)

==Game info template==
Does anyone understand why [[:Template:Gameinfo]] will properly display the homepage link for some games but not others? "|link homepage(some spaces)=" works in e.g. [[Naev]] but does not work for most of the new games we add. I've noticed that the template is sensitive to plural vs. singular (e.g. "|platform =" must be one and "|platforms =" for multiple) and we have a lot of pages to clean up in that respect. Homepage, on the other hand, I don't understand. The template code looks normal though I'm not that good at mediawiki—just can't get it working.

== Adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features ==

I am proposing to adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features

Through the years I have witnessed a disturbing trend of developer-developer, developer-user and user-user communication in libre games leaving libre services for proprietary ones. These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.

Examples of tags would be

* "promotes non-free network services" when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.
* "promotes non-free addons" when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.
-- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎

: SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think "promotes" is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 12:23, 20 February 2022 (CET)

:: To use an example from that linked FDroid page, "Tracking - tracks and/or reports your activity to somewhere, even when it can be turned off" -- so being optional or not is less the point than that the user may end up restricting their freedom without intending to. That said, I am in favour of such labelling but only if presented in an informational, non-hostile manner. I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click. This way it doesn't seem like a contextless statement. [[User:Arlo James Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo James Barnes|talk]]) 08:42, 24 March 2022 (CET)

: I agree, also, that will tag libregamewiki as recommending freegamedev which contains google analytics. Id really like them to remove google analytics for me to use them.. [[Special:Contributions/94.187.228.231|94.187.228.231]] 16:08, 4 April 2022 (CEST)

== Double Damnation ==

Unfortunately this game [https://github.com/TheYellowArchitect/doubledamnation#asset-license uses non-free assets] and is therefore not acceptable, unless there is a stripped version available. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 08:09, 2 September 2022 (CEST)

== License of images / screenshots ==

According to [[Libregamewiki:The_classroom#Images|Classroom]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy#Image_uploads|Article policy]] I have to put images I upload under a free license. Are these (suggested) pretty hidden rules added by [[Libregamewiki_talk:Article_policy#About_free_screenshots|Driss 21:29, 26 January 2008]] valid? Do the licenses of elements in the screenshot influence what license I'm allowed to choose? How do I decide about the license of an image or screenshot I made of a game? [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)
:To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.
:An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify—assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses. Here I'd blame nobody claiming an exception under fair use (US law, no impact on value and for education and review purposes) but perhaps our host might disagree.
:In my uploads I simply state that the assets displayed have their licences as indicated in the game repository and don't claim rights for the screenshot. The composition normally also confers copyright, but then the licence I chose would have to be compatible with the asset licence(s) so Public Domain removes a headache.

::: I somehow doubt that this question can be answered with the information on this wiki. Alone for the reason that not necessarily all releases of a game are or were written down. For some games there are pages with [https://libregamewiki.org/Category:Release_history release history], for some the release history is in the game article, and for some (probably the most) there simply isn't one, because only the last release has been deemed interesting.

:::Probably [[Adventure]]. It's one of the very first computer games (sometimes falsely called first) but in those days they were often copied around without any licence, which generally disqualifies games for LGW. Eric Raymond managed to get a licence for the 1995 version which makes it a very early game on here—if we consider the early versions which date even from the mid-70's. The version which was already being marketed as the "original" by 1981 was being copied around [https://rickadams.org/adventure/a_history.html since 1976].

== Automatic &action=purge for important lists ==

IMHO the section Recently released games on the [[Main_Page|main page]] (info probably connected to [[New_games_and_releases]]) and the [[Template:Genre_menu|Genre menu]] at the top of most pages are probably the main ways people explore Libregamewiki and use to access articles.
Sadly from my observations those lists don't update automatically. One has to purge the lists manually. And additionally the lists to purge are different for logged in users and not logged in users (Different storage areas / caches?). This means when one purges the list when logged in, it only updates for logged in users. For those not logged in it stays not updated. This is especially problematic because most visitors of LibreGameWiki will certainly access the lists not logged in because they even don't own an account. For example the list [[Board games]] which I probably purged after making changes to OpenKropki on 2022-11-11 by adding categories.
<gallery caption="Differences when logged in and not on 2022-12-06">
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_logged_in.png |Everything looks fine at the bottom of the list Board games when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in.png |All the old errors caused by references not using unique names are still visible when not logged in.
File:Board_games__2022-12-06_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2022-01-21 and OpenKropki 2020-11-19 when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2021-12-05 and OpenKropki isn't even there when not logged in.
</gallery>
I therefore think that LibreGameWiki would benefit from a '''little program that regularly purges''' those '''lists automatically for logged in and not logged in users'''. The section Recently released games or respectively the list [[New_games_and_releases|New games and releases]] should be purged at least daily while for the (other) lists in Genre menu a longer period would be sufficient, a week, a fortnight or maybe even a month.

== Genre lists ==

The way the games are organized in the genre lists is unsatisfying.

For example roguelikes in adventures. Or where to put the pet breeding games?

And the "More" menu contains nothing (you get only results when clicking on it).

== Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? ==

What should the "image" field in the "[[Template:Gameinfo]]" be interpreted as?
Should screenshots be the "preferred default"? Can other images (like promo art) be used and if yes, when?
I believe picking a screenshot by default (which is true for most games atm) makes sense for consistency. A different image should IMHO only be chosen when no good screenshot exists (yet). It is weird when the game overview page is a weird mix of game logos and screenshots because contributors cannot agree on what type of image to put there.
[[User:Modanung]] recently reverted my edit on [[Tux!]] to replace the game logo with a real screenshot.
The reason for my opinion is because picking a screenshot instead of logo, "box art" or any other "promo" art is that it is more "neutral", and this is how most pages are treated anyway. Your thoughts? --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think (immediate) consistency is not an argument here, as it would prevent applying any (change in the) convention, unless it were to be immediately applied to half of the almost 700 games on LGW. For reference, I just had a look at several Wikipedia pages about games and other software. There, software infoboxes have both the logo (at the top) with a screenshot below it, whereas game infoboxes show ''only'' cover art, without a screenshot. The first image is shown in page previews, and I would argue that what we have in the list of recently released games is the closest thing to page previews on LGW. Maybe it would be nice to have a pop-up when hovering, for pages where a screenshot gallery is detected and show screenshot thumbnails in there? This would provide the best of both worlds, make them more readily available, with the main page being more like search results on itch.

Binaries and source code are available through [https://gitlab.com/LucKeyProductions/Games/BlipNBlup GitLab]. Levels are made using [[Edddy]].

==Story==
The ocean isn't the place it used to be; trash, filthy water, little food. Then one stormy morning, a shipping container comes crashing down, destroying the home of Blip and Blup, while they narrowly avoid being crushed. The container turns out to be full of old shoes, and they decide to put on a pair and head for the surface. But they are tailed by Sa'Tong the electric snake eel, who - under threat of devouring the two fish - puts them to work to find him food using their bubble blowing ability.

==Objective==
===Story Mode===
Catch all the food in each level to keep Sa'Tong sufficiently satiated.

===Arcade===
====Capture the Bug====
Catch the other team's bug and feed it to your Sa'Tong.

====Soccer====
A casual game of soccer.

====Collector====
Complete your bug collection before the other team does.

====Survival====
Same as in story mode, but with teams.

Modanung: /* Breaking convention */

Just letting you know that the [[Template:Repositories#Parameters|repositories template]] is equipped with an ''ArchExtra'' parameter. Already fixed it for [[Luanti]]. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 18:55, 15 February 2025 (CET)

== Breaking convention ==

Nowhere does it say "screenshot" in the Gameinfo template. Just because hardly anyone else takes the effort of providing a splash screen, logo or box art doesn't mean it makes sense to put a screenshot there. To see a larger version of the image, you have to first click through to the game's page anyway. Furthermore, when you make it a screenshot and a page has more of those, that puts screenshots in multiple places. Please don't block conscious efforts of breaking a bad habit out of conformity. Thank you. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 12:51, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:You’re wrong tho. It actually ''does'' say "screenshot" on [[Template:Gameinfo]]: "image: An image of the game, preferably a screenshot". Before I risk an edit war, I am going to escalate this debate to [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]]. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:48, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I’m very sorry, I just remembered that it was me who wrote that definition ages ago. My memory really is horrible sometimes. Anyway, I just posted something on the Community portal: [[Libregamewiki:Community_portal#Gameinfo:_Screenshot_over_game_logo?]] --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
::My apologies, I was a little grumpy. Also, I hadn't even looked at the template page; just the field names. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 02:44, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

==Objective==

Fly the Klå Mk.10 and avoid 'n destroy Notyous while collecting pickups.

All edges of the hexagonal arena are connected to its opposite like portals, making for a puzzlingly dangerous playing field that might take some experience to wrap your head around. The goal is to survive as long as possible or to eject back to the lobby when the chaos becomes insurfable. In this manner an immense score can be accumulated. If your score surpasses the highest, "uploading" your pilot will put him or her on a pedestal as long as this new highest score remains unbeaten.

: '''WARNING:''' The aforementioned uploading process could be described as gory. Avoid activating the splatterpillar in the vicinity of weak stomachs.

'''Edddy''' is a block-based map editor developed by [[LucKey Productions]] made with [[Dry]] and the Qt library. It allows to conveniently place 3D models - organized in block sets - on a grid and saves the result to two XML-based file types; EBS for sets and EMP for maps.

You start out in a new ship in the middle of the Empire territory, and are free to pursue missions as you please that may change the shape and future of the Universe. Conduct experiments with the technological House Za'lek, explore the depths of the Nebula to find out what happened, and what is lurking, become a pirate and raid the decadent Houses, or simply explore the universe to your heart's content, Naev is an open game where you are in charge of your destiny.

Modanung: /* Battalion */ Changed topic title

== Summarization and broken links ==

Hey Martin, maybe you're new to collaborating, but could you ''please fill out the summary field when editing?'' Also, did you use AI to make these edits? Every external link I tried seems broken with faulty markup to boot. You seem to have skipped previewing entirely. This is not a contribution, it's a mess dumped onto the lap of moderators. I have therefor decided to reject ''all'' your edits, and trust you won't mind as it seems zero effort went into them. You're more than welcome to try again. Kind regards. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 09:17, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello. Thanks for writing me back, I was trying to contact someone. Yes, I had been using some AI to assist me with some games the wiki are missing. The issue that I have, is that with the moderation control makes me hard to see the final product on the wiki until it get approved. It was not zero effort to produce them with AI, since it was partially reviews, I only have some issues with the link. Sadly you also deleted the screenshots and the thing that were already validated. I will to do my best finish the article better, but I will appreciate a less restrictive moderation for my user so I can see all the change on the pages in real time. Regards [[User:Martiniturbide|Martiniturbide]] ([[User talk:Martiniturbide|talk]]) 12:54, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

::Some years ago, LGW was under constant barrage of vandal bots. That's why we switched to this stricter approach. I was not involved in this decision, and would often love to provide users with more freedom but I don't have the power to lift these default restrictions. Although it seems [[User:Hendrik_Brummermann|Hendrik]] has been around recently. You could try asking for automoderation privileges through his talk page. Kind regards and thank you for your understanding. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 17:46, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

== Battalion and Angband ==

This wiki is for ''fully'' [[Free_games|libre games]] only. As such, Battalion does not qualify. Have you read the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|article policy]]? I'll add Battalion to the [[Libregamewiki:Rejected games list|list of rejected games]]. Angband is already on there, but I'm not sure whether that's still correct. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 17:59, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
:I'm afraid I had to reject your addition of Angband as well because the Tolkien Estate is pretty clear about fan fiction in its FAQ,<ref>https://www.tolkienestate.com/frequently-asked-questions-and-links/</ref> meaning the game is littered with copyright issues that cannot be expected to be resolved at any time.

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-03-19T12:49:27Z

Modanung: /* A */ Extended Angband copyright issues with sources.

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

'''SuperTux''' is a 2D side-scrolling [[platform game]] featuring [[Tux]] the Linux penguin mascot, inspired by the Super Mario series.<ref>https://www.supertux.org</ref> It is programmed in C++.

SuperTux was originally created by [[Bill Kendrick]]. [[Ingo Ruhnke]] created many of the levels.

It is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPLv3]].<ref name="supertux_lic"/>

==Development==
Among the members of the development team are:
*[[Bill Kendrick]]
*[[Ingo Ruhnke]]
*[[Duong-Khang Nguyen]]

==Gameplay==
In ''SuperTux'', the player controls Tux, making him run around collecting power-ups, killing various enemies, and discovering new worlds, all for the purpose of rescuing his beloved Penny, who was captured by Nolok while Tux was distrated dancing on a picnic with her. The screen resolution is huge, allowing the player to see far ahead.

There are no lives. Instead, Tux simply respawns at the start of the level when he dies, unless he has touched the midpoint bell, in which case he'll respawn in the middle of the level and lose a few coins.

There are 2 main worlds, the Icy Island and Forest, along with many contributed worlds, such as the Halloween world. All worlds feature a worldmap, which is used to traverse across levels.

There are 5 powerups. Four of them use a special system where the more copies are collected of them, (without losing them) the better they become. For example, the more fireflowers are collected, the more fireballs can Tux shoot at once.

The [[Linux Game Tome]]'s [[Game of the Month]] project helped improve the game in 2004.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121202012205/http://www.happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1240 March 2004 thread about SuperTux] on the [[Linux Game Tome]]</ref> A version of the game was included on [[OpenSource Game Power]] volume 1.

Modanung: /* Gallery */ Newer SuperTux screenshot

[[File:Tux3D.png|right|370px]]
'''Tux''' is the official mascot of the Linux kernel and is a widely known symbol among the Linux and [[free software]] community. He is short, fat, and has a yellow beak and duck-like flippers. He was designed by Larry Ewing, based on a suggestion by Alan Cox, and he was named by James Hughes. He represents no known penguin, but looks most like a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudyptula_novaehollandiae fairy penguin]. Due to this symbolic significance he appears in many free software games and even some proprietary ones. These games are typically non-violent and [[:category:Child-oriented games|child friendly]]. There is an alternate mascot for the kernel, Tuz the Tasmanian devil, which was used for version 2.6.29 in order to promote support the effort to save the Tasmanian devil species from extinction due to the devil facial tumour disease<ref>[http://lwn.net/Articles/323966/ LWN.net: The kernel gets a new logo]</ref>, but this mascot has never starred in a game.

== Tux universe ==
Although the games featuring Tux are each set in their own storylines or have no back story at all, there are many common elements. Most of these are based on real life penguins or perceptions of them in popular culture. Many feature Tux living in Antarctica, often with other penguins ([[SuperTux]], [[Pingus]], [[Extreme Tux Racer]] etc). Typically Tux and his fellow penguins are after herrings and other types of fish, and as such these are usually bonus or vital items ([[Tuxedo T. Penguin: A Quest for Herring]], [[Extreme Tux Racer]], [[Tux Typing]] etc). Repeated, often one-sided, references to the market and ideals conflict between Microsoft Windows and Linux, and [[free software]] and proprietary software are also common in these games ([[XTux]], [[FreedroidRPG]], etc), similar to games like [[XBill]].

In [[Pingus]] the penguins have to venture out of Antarctica to try and figure out the force, global warming, that is destroying their world. In other games such as [[SuperTuxKart]] and [[Wormux]] there is no backstory and no real environments related to Tux or penguins, just the addition of Tux and/or multiple Tux-like penguins. In [[Frozen Bubble]] there is no back story, but graphically it appears to be set in Antarctica with a Tux-like penguin trying to save his igloo from being crushed by the downward coming bubbles. [[SuperTux]] and clone [[ReTux]] features Tux trying to save [[Tux#Gown and Penny|Penny]] after she is kidnapped by [[Nolok]]. [[IceBreaker]] has the player capturing penguins to be shipped to [[:wikipedia:Finland|Finland]] as part of a plan for world domination. In [[Tux!]], Tux is a fairy penguin (the species that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)#Origins bit] Linus Torvalds) from Australia, who sets out to search for Sardinia. [[FreedroidRPG]] has one of the more creative uses of Tux in a video game - as an extraterrestrial. There, Tux is a member of a race known as the Linarians who is stranded on Earth in the middle of a major conflict between humanity and evil conquering "MS Bots".

=== Gown and Penny ===
In many games there is also a, sometimes playable, female side character. The most common of these being called Gown or Penny. These are sometimes hinted as being Tux's girlfriend or just close friend (they have been described as being similar to Princess Peach in the Mario series<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tux_(mascot)#So_what_*is*_Tux's_relationship_with_Penny,_then? Discussion on Penny and Tux]</ref>). Gown is sometimes depicted simply as a pink version of Tux (eg [[XTux]]) or as having a slightly skinnier figure and wearing items of female clothing including a red and white short skirt and a hair bow, according to [[Steve Baker]] inspired by Daisy Duck (eg [[TuxKart]] and [[Tuxedo T. Penguin: A Quest for Herring|A Quest for Herring]]). Her name is supposed to be a pun on Tux being short for tuxedo and gowns being another form of clothing.<ref name="g&p">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tux#Gown_and_Penny Steve Baker on Gown and Penny]</ref> Penny in the games [[SuperTux]] and SuperTuxKart is purple and white (SuperTuxKart once featured Gown and still has a map called "Gown's Bow"). Penny has been suggested as a pun on "PENguin".<ref name="g&p"/> In [[Freeciv]], the default female leader name for the Antarctican civilization is "Tuxette". The female penguin in [[Tux!]] is called Trixi. Steve Baker, creator of A Quest for Herring and TuxKart has stated that he prefers his original character of Gown. <ref name="g&p"/>

Doom

2026-03-15T18:18:02Z

Modanung: Extend page link to full word and fixed typo

'''Doom''' (stylized DOOM) is a first person shooter game developed by id Software in 1993 to critical acclaim, persevering over the years due to its technical prowess, large modding scene and near-timeless qualities.

The engine's source code was released by [[id Software]] under the [[GPL|GPLv2]]. It has been used to create several "source ports" that use the game's data, like [[PrBoom]] or [[Chocolate Doom]]. However, the data remained proprietary, which inspired projects like [[Freedoom]] to create libre assets for these FOSS engines to use, to liberate the game entirely.

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-03-15T18:06:19Z

Modanung: /* B */ Added Battalion

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

|name=My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant!
|reason=Listed as open source on the Linux Game Database, but SourceCode is available to paying customers only.<ref>http://www.um.com.au/spaceout/</ref>.
:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Modanung: /* Battalion */ new section

== Summarization and broken links ==

Hey Martin, maybe you're new to collaborating, but could you ''please fill out the summary field when editing?'' Also, did you use AI to make these edits? Every external link I tried seems broken with faulty markup to boot. You seem to have skipped previewing entirely. This is not a contribution, it's a mess dumped onto the lap of moderators. I have therefor decided to reject ''all'' your edits, and trust you won't mind as it seems zero effort went into them. You're more than welcome to try again. Kind regards. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 09:17, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello. Thanks for writing me back, I was trying to contact someone. Yes, I had been using some AI to assist me with some games the wiki are missing. The issue that I have, is that with the moderation control makes me hard to see the final product on the wiki until it get approved. It was not zero effort to produce them with AI, since it was partially reviews, I only have some issues with the link. Sadly you also deleted the screenshots and the thing that were already validated. I will to do my best finish the article better, but I will appreciate a less restrictive moderation for my user so I can see all the change on the pages in real time. Regards [[User:Martiniturbide|Martiniturbide]] ([[User talk:Martiniturbide|talk]]) 12:54, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

::Some years ago, LGW was under constant barrage of vandal bots. That's why we switched to this stricter approach. I was not involved in this decision, and would often love to provide users with more freedom but I don't have the power to lift these default restrictions. Although it seems [[User:Hendrik_Brummermann|Hendrik]] has been around recently. You could try asking for automoderation privileges through his talk page. Kind regards and thank you for your understanding. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 17:46, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

== Battalion ==

This wiki is for ''fully'' [[Free_games|libre games]] only. As such, Battalion does not qualify. Have you read the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|article policy]]? I'll add Battalion to the [[Libregamewiki:Rejected games list|list of rejected games]]. Angband is already on there, but I'm not sure whether that's still correct.

==Gameplay==
The player must navigate an endless brigade of pipes. If the player touches the pipes or the floors or ceilings, they die and must restart. For every pipe passed, the player gains one score point. The goal is to achieve the highest score possible.

'''Harmonist: Dayoriah Clan Infiltration''' (Harmonist) is a light-hearted stealth coffee-break roguelike game with light and noise mechanisms, making use of various terrain types and cones of view for monsters..

''Your friend Shaedra got captured by nasty people from the Dayoriah Clan while she was trying to retrieve a powerful magara artifact that was stolen from the great magara-specialist Marevor Helith.''

''As a gawalt monkey, you don't understand much why people complicate so much their lives caring about artifacts and the like, but one thing is clear: you have to rescue your friend, somewhere to be found in this Underground area controlled by the Dayoriah Clan. If what you heard the guards say is true, Shaedra's imprisoned on the eighth floor.''

''You are small and have good night vision, so you hope the infiltration will go smoothly...''

==Features==

* Short coffee-break runs (around half an hour).
* 8 levels deep dungeon (+ 3 optional levels), 3 distinct map generators, 23 monsters, 5 magical cloaks, 4 magical amulets, 7 magical stones, and 22 magaras (evokable magical rods).
* Both graphical tiles (web or SDL) and terminal ASCII versions. Animations. Simple controls. Mouse-friendly compact 80x24 layout. Automatic recording for later replay.
* '''Light and noise''' stealth mechanics. Monster '''footsteps''' can be heard.
* A main story narrative, and many short flavorful lore texts.
* '''Jump''' by propulsing against a wall!
* Small inventory (a few magara slots, a cloak and an amulet).
* Heal by eating '''bananas''' while resting hidden inside a barrel!
* Many terrain features: flammable dense foliage, doors, tables, barrels, windows, holes in the walls, banana trees, water, chasm, queenrock.
* Activable magical stones with both tactical and partially '''map-revealing''' strategic effects.

==Influences==

While the game is heavily influenced by [[Boohu]], because the game started as a fork of Boohu's code, it's now a very different game. Some later improvements from [[Shamogu]] inspired similar changes in Harmonist, like the map-revealing features from magic stones. Many UI improvements were backported, too.

'''Shamanic Mountain Guardian''' (Shamogu) is a coffee-break roguelike game with a focus on tactical movement and careful timing of totemic spirit invocation and comestible consumption. Visibility and noise stealth mechanics also play an important role.

''All life in your mountain is being corrupted. Beasts are losing their mind and becoming agressive. These disturbing events started to happen after a dungeon portal suddenly appeared at the top of the mountain. As the guardian, you decide to explore that dungeon in order to find and destroy the source of corruption… You hope luck will be on your side!”''

==Features==

* Short runs (around half an hour).
* 9 levels deep dungeon, 3 distinct map generators, 27 monsters including various wandering uniques and guardians, 5 primary spirits and 7 secondary ones, 4 magic menhirs, 5 runic traps, and 7 comestibles.
* Optional advanced content through '''expansion and challenge mods''', including 2 new primary spirits and 7 secondary ones.
* Both graphical tiles (web or SDL) and terminal ASCII versions. Animations. Simple controls. Mouse-friendly compact 80x24 layout. Automatic recording for later replay!
* Find '''totems''' to chose and upgrade spirits with both passive and active abilities.
* Comestibles all have more than a single effect!
* Fun interactions between the various status effects.
* Varied '''attack patterns''' depending on chosen primary spirit.
* Many monsters with ranged attack patterns.
* Visibility and noise stealth mechanics. Monster '''footsteps''' can be heard.
* Flammable dense foliage.
* Limited healing through comestibles and magic portals.
* Ergonomic targeting based on the player's '''current direction'''.

==Influences==

The game takes some inspiration from previous games by the same author [[Boohu]] and [[Harmonist]] for some stealth elements and effects, but it is otherwise different from both.

'''Chaos Esque Anthology''' is a first-person shooter forked from [[Xonotic]], it includes new features such as extended number of weapons (including medieval weapons), new maps, vehicles, spellcasting, monsters, player characters, textures and game modes.

Note: This project is open to adding any map format that can be programmed (without using additional external libaries) in C.
It has already implemented Wolfenstine:EnemyTerritory map loading, as well as support for use of .obj files as maps themselves (extension: .obj_from_mc , added to maps directory)
Note: .unr (unreal97) map format is desired, please see: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/
C++ code has been found that displays the .unr map format (linked above). This engine is in C.
Please if you are reading this, consider assisting this project. The engine source code is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/
The relevant files are: model_brush.c (.h) and model_shared.c (.h). A useful subroutine to look at is in model_brush.c : Mod_OBJ_Load on line 7562 , which loads triangle data and face data from the .obj format. The .unr format has all the triangle and face data baked into the format; no interpolation is needed (unlike .t3d). (The .unr C++ source code is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/attachment/UShock_source.tar.bz2 . It needs to be studied and translated to a C subroutine for this game's engine)

Note2: VBSP (halflife2) map loading is also desired: as a developer by the name of CloudWalk attempted it; but did not complete it. His code is included here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-vbsp_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/ in the file model_brush.c in the function Mod_VBSP_Load() (and similar functions). He attempted this code 4 years ago; and we have ported it over to this version of the engine now. The commit says it crashes: we believe it. He got up to the loadfaces stage of interpreting these files. If someone could complete the work... if someone could complete the work.... (zip of code: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/5/attachment/darkplaces_workingon_mar_02_2024_t3dfuncatendof__model_brush_c_vbspcarryoverattempt_SOURCEONLY.zip ) (ticket: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/5/ )

== History ==

Chaos Esque Anthology has been in continuous separate development from [[Xonotic]] since forking from it in 2012. An example of such development is to compare the amount of weapons from before the fork in 2012 to the current number in the Chaos Esque Anthology project. The pre-fork amount was approximately 18 weapons. The current number of weapons in Chaos Esque Anthology is over 200 weapons. Approximately a ten-fold increase. This gives a glimpse into the amount of work that has been invested into the game.

The spellcasting system has been expanded from non-existence to fifty (50) spells. Alongside medieval weapons and the quest-spawns option, this system allows a player or server admin to set up a game that is similar to rouge-like classics, in 3d, if he wishes. Other options include modern weapons and futuristic weapons.

The amount of vehicles in the game has been expanded from five to over thirty.
Additionally there is a buildable building system and a city generation system. Monsters are also supported and can be placed by the map author or spawned into a map via mutator. Furnishings can be built via the buildable-building system and/or placed by the map author. City-generation buildings can also be placed by the map author in addition to via the city-generation mutator. More in-depth information as to how to use these systems is included in the game on the Info page.

The game now features a more-advanced damage calculation method for melee weapons; allowing for multiple regions of the target which modify the damage taken based on the type of weapon used.

== Implements of Will - Spells and Weapons ==

'''Table of Spells'''

Agency
You and I; I take your place, and you take mine.

AcerviLux
From your hands a holy lance, a beam of light, to end unholy dance.

BallLightining
Though not lightining-in-a-bottle... close.

Cancellation
Counter a spell.

ChainLightining
Lightining at enemies in all directions (and perhaps some left for friends aswell!)

ChargedBolt
Erratic electro-static discharge willed towards your enemy...

Clairvoyance
What do you see in your minds eye? What can you see that I cannot?

DarkRitual
This spell requires three participants: the caster, the transferee, and a sacrifice
all participants must be players or bots (monsters are not accepted).
The transferee must stand in close proximity to the spell-caster. The sacrifice
must be infront of the spell-caster and in his aim, though at higher levels of
the spell the sacrificial target may be varying distances away from the spell-caster
and transferee. The sacrifice target must be either: chained, shackled, handcuffed,
in paralysis, or a prisoner. When the spell is cast the value of the sacrificial
target is evaluated. A good sacrifice brings rewards to both the spell-caster and
the transferee: first the mana held by the sacrifical target is given to the
spell-caster and the transferee: 2/3 to the spell-caster and 1/3 to the transferee;
then a portion of the life force of the sacrificial target is converted into mana
and distributed to the spell-caster and transferee: 1/3 to the spell-caster,
2/3 to the transferee. A higher quality sacrificial subject rewards a greater
percentage transfer aswell as a higher conversion rate. Be wary: poor sacrifices
are offensive and can lead to injury to the spell-caster and transferee... or even
death for both.

Death
Suddenly, the touch of death befalls he directly in the spell caster's sight.

DrainLife
From your life-force; I do quench my thirst. But I do pray...
that I do not find myself drinking death...

CastFromLife
My life-force is the well from which I draw, the strenth with which at you to gnaw.

Confer
Mighty and powerful your life-force is, and weak surely is mine. But what if...
it were reversed? But I must be wary, there are those creatures seemingly living...
that are not...

Explosion
Let us walk the path of explosions, together...

Extinguish
This spell extinguishes all life and burning embers in a vicinity.

Fireball
A fireball.

Firebeam
A momentary beam of fire.

Firebolt
A small bolt of fire.

Firewall
A wall of flame; no two the same.

Flameburst
Fireballs in all directions.

Frostbeam
A momentary beam of frost the freezes that whom it contacts.

Grace
A magic circle of sanctuary appears.

Heal
Heal another.

HolyBolt
Life to the living, and an end to the undead.

HolyLight

Iceball
Frozen solid, and moving forward.

Icestar
If beneath the immortal sky one does call, a star of ice to thee befall.

Inferno
Into being, a burning beam that ignites what it touches, is called.

Lightining
A beam of lightining is called forth.

LightiningWall
A wall of lightining.

MagicBullets
A barrage of projectiles is called forth.

MagicMissile
A magic bolt appears and will track its target.

MagmaSphere
A sphere of burning stone is willed to be.

ManaShield
Damage is dealt, now only a portion to one's life, the rest to one's magical power instead.

Meteor
A meteor called down from the sky.

MeteorShower
A meteor down from the sky; if only it were only one!

Mimic
Nice visage: mind if I take it?

MonsterToMonolith
A monster becomes huge.

MonsterToMouse
A monster becomes small.

Paralyse
No movement, but one can see and feel.

PhantasmalBarrier
Unseen, but acts, in ways, as a wall.

RaiseUndead
Wherever a player has died, here is raised a zombie.

Repair
Repair vehicles, buildings, turrets.

RingOfFire
Around the spell caster is called a blaze; burning death as fires rage.

ScepterOfFlame
A column to the clouds, not of holy light; a type of tower in-which elementals delight.

StoneCurse
Not all statues are carved, some are called.

StoneRain
And they complain that a typhoon is damaging to buildings...

Timesink
They slow, but you do not. Time... this time... is on your side.

VampyricConduit
A magic circle appears, damage done to those without, comes as life to those within.

'''Spell Notes'''

Dark spells often are more powerful belowground, while holy spells often have more
power above-ground underneath the sky. The cost and recovery from a fire spell can
be reduced by wielding a Staff Of Flame , while the same can be said for pure magic spells
while wielding a Magicians Staff . A number of spells call forth from the sky: they are ineffectual
below ground where there is no view to the sky. Beware of drawing life from the undead: for it
is not life you draw.

== Instruction Documentation ==
'''Game Instructions'''

**Introduction
Hello and welcome to Chaos-Esque Anthology: a modification of Xonotic.
Chaos-Esque adds a wealth of additional features and options to the game world to allow you to synthesize
the combat environment you desire to fill with feats of extreme oppositional maneuvering.
These additions include: Buildable Buildings, Spells and Potions, Environmental Mutators, Mounted Guns, a
City Generation system, and the spawning of additional items such as weaponry and such things as spikes,
baloons, and other hazards. An inventory system is also included. Before we delve into all of that however,
there is one crucial tool that must be mastered:

*The console

The first thing that must be known is how to bring up the text console for the entering of extended commands
To do so press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.

*Picking up items, Opening doors, Entering Vehicles

The second thing that must be known is to how to collect items.
In Chaos-Esque this is by way of the USE key: F.
Go near an item, and if you wish to acquire it into your inventory press F.

The USE key (F) also works to open some doors and enter vehicles (be walking at the vehicle while pressing F)

*Inventory

To list your inventory enter the console (~ or Shift+Esc) and execute the command:
inventory

The inventory command will also list your stats, what spells you know, and your body temperature if the map has
an ambient temperature set.

You can use tab completion to allow it to type faster (type in inv and then press the TAB button on your keyboard (inv<tab>))
To search nearby chests use the search command in a similar fastion
To drop a weapon press Backspace. To drop a pack of the ammo that weapon uses press F+Backspace
You can also drop items using the drop command.

To list the inventory of the world, surrounding buildings, and other stats such as the ambient temperature execute the command:
worldinventory

**Buildable Buildings
The buildable building system is one of the premier features of the Chaos-Esque Anthology modification of Xonotic.
It allows the player to build not only buildings, but also defensive structures such as turrets and point defense guns,
aswell as vehicles and barriers such as walls and obstructions. There are two building tools in Xonotic: Chaos-Esque Anthology.
There is the multitool; a building tool which creates medieval structures, and the utilitool;
a tool which creates futuristic structures. Hammers can assist in the building of a structure from a placed scaffold.

*Equipping the player with a building tool

In-order to build one must have the tools. In this case the tools are a multitool or a utilitool, and a blunt object such as
a hammer. To start players with a multitool or utilitool one may go to either:
Multiplayer > Create > Mutators or Multiplayer > Create > StartWeapons

Multiplayer > Create > Mutators is sometimes the more convenient of the two options as the multitool and utilitool start weapon
options are along the bottom of the screen. Multiplayer > Create > StartWeapons will allow you to select any of the weapons.

Next to the multitool and utilitool options in the Mutators menu there are a number of additional check boxes. These disable
costs associated with building such a resources, time, and research. A quick way into the game of design is to click the multitool
and the 3 boxes associated with it. Mousing over the checkboxes will give you information as-to what they do. In the
StartWeapons dialogue there are those options aswell as further options near the top right of the screen. Here you can enable
and disable various options such as what vehicles can be built, where one can build, and what Era the multitool works in.
The "MT Ancient" option toggles whether the multitool builds medieval defenses and vehicles or WWI style war engines.
Below the "MT Ancient" option are other useful options such as a setting that creates additional spawnpoints when you build
a bed or similar furnishings.

In addition to the multitool and/or utilitool, it is prudent to equip a hammer and a crowbar. There are many hammers in the game,
any one of them will be sufficent for changing to once a scaffold is placed and hammering it until the building appears. There
are two crowbars in the game: the Crowbar and the more archaic IronCrow. Their utility is to quickly destroy errant scaffolds
one might accidentally place.

*Multitool/Utilitool Basic Controls

Once one has a multitool or utilitool in hand, how does one use it?
The Left Mouse Button actuates the tool while the Right Mouse Button scrolls through the list of buildings, blocks, and
furnishings you can build. Pressing Shift+Right Mouse Button reverses the direction of the list scroll. You can hold down
the Right Mouse Button to accelerate the scrolling.

*Multitool/Utilitool Resources

Your multitool or utilitool needs resources to operate. These come in the form of ammunition you might find lying around the maps,
and of converted resources, which are converted from ammunition using the utilitool and multitool.

To convert nails into convertednails press: E+R
To convert rockets into convertedrockets press: Shift+E+R
To convert cells into convertedcells press: F+R

Converted resources can also be gained by killing opponents: you will be rewarded with a portion of whatever ammunition they were
holding as converted resources. Think of converted resources as the "essence" of the ammo resource: it is not ammo, but it came from
it. Converted nails are akin to Iron. Converted Rockets are akin to Fire. Converted Cells are akin to Energy and Magic. They are
elemental in a way.

When a tree is cut down convertednail resources are gained. If a tree is blown up the acquired convertednail resources are
reduced by half.

*Multitool/Utilitool Misc Controls

F+Right Mouse Button changes the Z-Snap of whatever you build, Shift+F+Right Mouse Button scrolls the Z-Snap in the opposite
direction.

*Building with the Multitool/Utilitool - Part I

The first thing one must build is something that can hold land. For the multitool this is the garrison. For the utilitool this is
the command post. Gather some resources: take some nails, convert some by pressing E+R while holding the multitool. Once you have
a good ammount, but also have some free nails (press F to pick things up) scroll to the garrison or the command post and press the
Left Mouse Button to place a scaffold for it. Now change to a hammer (or set the multitool/utilitool back to melee) and hit the
scaffold with the hammer until the building appears. Your friends can get in on the action and hammer the scaffold with you to
build it faster.
NOTE: Try to protect your scaffolds: tanks can easily roll over them and destroy them in an instant.
NOTE: If you destroy your own scaffold you will be returned your convertednails but nothing more.

Once the garrison or commandpost is built you can then build other buildings around it. The garrison and command post, aswell as
the small castle can take and hold land, so they are the first buildings to be built.

One thing to note: one cannot build in enemy controlled land. As you build buildings the land that becomes yours expands. Buildings
can be captured, however, but garrisons, command posts, and castles will "lock down" the lesser buildings and must be captured
first before those under their auspices can be turned.

*Building with the Multitool/Utilitool - Part II

Some things to note when building: some buildings require certain knowlege inorder to be built. To gain this knowlege one must read
books on the required subjects. However it is possible to start players with the requisite subject-matter by enabling the knowlege
check-boxes at the bottom of the StartWeapons dialogue. You can also disable the requirement for knowlege via the
"Zero Knowlege" check-box at the top of the StartWeapons dialogue.

Some buildings require forge-parts for their vehicles or turret sub-parts. If you do not have these resources the building will still
be built, but without the vehicle or the turret. To obtain forgeparts build a forge of the proper type and enable it by pressing F
at its control point (this toggles it on and off). It will take converted resources from you or from your teammates inorder to
create the forgeparts.

Some buildings on the utilitool side require energy or oil to run and produce output (for the ammo tower, etc). Inorder to run these
you must build solar panels, energy tanks, oil tanks, oil pumps, etc. You can control their distribution using local energy tanks
and local oil tanks and oil control units. Additionally factories are more efficent if there is a furnace or two next to them.
NOTE: Solar panels will not produce energy if under an energy shield or if they cannot trace to the sky (or very far up into the
ambient ether). Additionally it often takes many tries in different areas before oil is found via oil well.

*Multitool/Utilitool Commands

For easier access to the selection of what is to be built there is the multitool command (also accessable via utilitool command).
To use this command, have the multitool equipped and open the console (~ or Shift+ESC) and type multitool
You can also use tab completion to speed up the process. multi<TAB> sele<TAB>

multitool doorcenter
multitool furndrop
multitool noturretsintowers

The most used of these are by far:
multitool select
multitool lockz
multitool lockz2me
multitool blocktype
multitool placetype

"multitool select" helps you speed up the selection process.
For instance, "multitool select pointdefense" will select a mounted gun for building.

"multitool lockz" locks Z to whatever the Z (up down) of the last thing you built was.
(executing the command again disables lockz)

"multitool lockz2me" sets lockz to that of your player.

"multitool blocktype" sets the collision of the trace routines used to set down scaffolds;
toggle it to build buildings ontop of buildings.

"multitool placetype" toggles how the scaffolds are to be placed: straight down, or forward and then down.

*Control Points

Each building, block, etc that is built possesses its own control point. By standing on a control point of a
building for a period of time player can capture a building or fortify his existing buildings. Additionally
if teammates or friends (the friends system can be enabled in Multiplayer > Create > Advanced Settings ) stand
on or near the control point it will capture or be fortified with increased haste.

Buildings which can take and hold land (such as garrisons, small castles, strongholds, commandposts, etc)
will protect the lesser buildings from being captured and thus must be captured first. (Note: if the control
point of the land-holding class of buildings is encased it will not lock down the surrounding lands)

*Recruitment Posts

Recruitment posts attract monsters to your cause. For them to attract monsters they must be built near or in
the correct building type. Different building types attract different monsters. To enable or disable a
recruitment post press F while standing at it. Monsters also require housing and food, thus a sufficent
amount of residential buildings (houses, apartments, barracks, etc) must be built. Beds also provide housing.
For food, fields or greenhouses must be built. (command example: utilitool select farm )

To view the amount of housing and food (grain, greens, grapes, etc) that exists execute the command
worldinventory
in the console.

The recruitment post for the multitool recruits medieval style soliders and fighters while the utilitool
recruitment post recruits cybernetic soliders.

The following buildings, with a recruitment post, attract the following soliders:
Multitool:
Small Castle -- Royal Guard
Barracks, Stronghold -- Knight
Dojo -- Fighter
Shrine -- Ninja Assassin

Utilitool:
Security Building, Glass Base -- Solider

*Marshalling

Once recruited, soliders may be marshalled. Marshalled troops will follow your lead and can be directed to attack
areas. The console commands associated with marshaling are:
marshal
marshalarea
marshalfield

marshalformation
marshaldedication

marshalattack
marshalreattack
marshalrenewattack

marshaldefend

marshallist

unmarshal

(NOTE: To open the console press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.)

The commands: marshal , marshalarea , marshalfield marshal troops from an increasingly wider radius.
The command: unmarshal can be used to disband ones army. The command: marshallist lists the troops at your
disposal. Executing marshalattack in the console will instruct your army to attack the area you are looking
at, while marshaldefend will recall them to your side. The command: marshalformation will set how tight
together you want your troops to be, while marshaldedication sets how dedicated they are to reaching their goal.

*Doors

Doors may be part of a buildable building or may be built separately (to jump to the door building section of the
multitool/utilitool selection enter, in the console, the following command: multitool select block door ).
Heavy doors often must be shot open with a gun or an arrow. Doors owned by the player can be locked and unlocked.
The following console commands are associated with doors:

lock
softlock
hardlock
unlock

(NOTE: To open the console press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.)

To lock a door you own, approach it and enter the command lock . The door will softlock: it will open only for
you or your team or friends. If you enter the command lock again while facing the door it will hardlock. A hardlocked
door will not open for anyone, it must be unlocked or softlocked first. To unlock a door enter the command unlock .
The door will now open for anyone. To softlock a door enter the command softlock . To hardlock a door enter the
command hardlock .

**City Generation
Another feature Chaos-Esque Anthology boasts is a city generation system.
The city-generation system allows you to specify that a city or a city and a number of small towns is to be
created on the map. The buildings which are created are not simply boxes with an outward appearance but no depth;
they all have interiors which you can fully explore and, if you wish, which you can fortify using doors and other
objects from the multitool or utilitool. If you toggle multitool blocktype in the console you can even build
other buildings atop these generated cityscapes.
This system is accessable in the Multiplayer > Create > Mutators dialogue under the Misc Items heading.

*Enabling City Generation
To set the game to generate a city at start up do the following:
Open the Multiplayer > Create > Mutators dialoge
Select the Misc Items checkbox, a myriad of options will now light up ready to be set.
Scroll down to AbdBldgs ,set it to the number of buildings you want.
Scroll to Concrete ,set it to something low: 0 or 0.1
Scroll to SC Tiles ,set that to something high: 1

Now when you start the game, when the first player spawns a number of buildings will be created around the map.

But they are scattered...

*Specifying a City

In the Multiplayer > Create > Mutators dialoge under the Misc Items > AbdBldgs section, below the
SC Tiles slider there is an option called City . To have a central city set this slider to 1.
Below the City slider an X and a Y slider have now become highlighted, use these to set the location
of your city. There is also a % slider which can be used to set the percentage of buildings that will be
located inside the city as opposed to being scattered outside (The default is 100 percent within the city)

*Configuring a City

Below the X and Y sliders is a CMdw slider; This allows you to specify if you want to allow foliage
to grow in your city. The slider to the right of the CMdw option allows you to specify how far away to keep
foliage away from the city.

*Multiplying Buildings

If you scroll further down in the Misc Items > AbdBldgs section you will come to an area labeled Array
and below that is Ring1 and Ring2 . What these options do is specify the percent chance that rather than
just one building being built in a spot a 3x3 array will be built instead for a total of 9 buildings for the price
of one! Ring1 extends this with another band of buildings (4x4) and Ring2 even further (5x5). If you specify
Ring1 and/or Ring2 but leave Array low or disabled it will omit the array but still create the rings of
buildings. Thus you can set Misc Items > AbdBldgs to a low amount but still generate many buildings.

*Zoning

Scrolling down more you will come to the Neiborhood Zoning section. This section allows you to specify how often
one zone of SC Tiles buildings blends into another type of building. The types are varied from commercial, to industrial,
military, suburban, etc. The KT slider is the one most often used: slide to 1 to prevent much migling of building
types. The IG slider sets how often to ignore a particular building; this can help spice up a Neiborhood with small
ammounts (or large ammounts) of seemingly random additions. BL sets the blend rate between different zones. SR sets
the search radius for looking for what zone one is in, if this is set higher, zones will tend to be larger and have more
influence over the surroundings. The UC Radius slider sets how far the Upper Class - Middle Class suburban transition
band extends. This heavily influences the suburban look of your city.

Below these options is 2 row array of small sliders. Each of these allows you to increase the amount of a particular
building type in your city. Mouse over to see which slider affects which zoning setting. Using these sliders one can
create a military city or an especially commerce driven city.

*Different Buildings

Right below the Multiplayer > Create > Mutators Misc Items > AbdBldgs section is a series of five options:
Concrete
Glass
Built:Ancient
Built:Aorist
SC Tiles

Each of these sets the comparitive amount of that building type which will be generated by the city generator.
Concrete builds abandoned concrete buildings, all the same. Glass builds abandoned glass buildings, all the same.
Built:Ancient is somewhat more interesting: it builds Buildable Buildings of the type the multitool can create.
Built:Aorist places futuristic buildings that the utlitool can create. Both of these can be captured.
SC Tiles is the most interesting of all: it places on the map a multitude of different city, suburban, industrial, etc
buildings around the map. We explored some of the options associated with the SC Tiles above.
All buildings from any of these choices have interiors which you can fully explore and make use of in your fight.

**Friends
Chaos-Esque Anthology includes a friendship system that a server admin may enable. This allows players to create
alliances, and to break them, as they see fit. It also allows them to set policy for their buildable buildings
such as automated turret towers aswell as whom doors will open for.

*Enable Friends

To enable the friends system open the menu dialogue Multiplayer > Create > Advanced Settings , then scroll down
past Teamplay Settings to Teams ; there you will see a checkbox labled Friends ; press that checkbox
to enable the friends system.

*Make a Friend

To "friend" another player, approach a player, open the console, and enter the command friend . That player
will now be counted as your friend. It is advisable that the other player also "friend" you in the same manner.
Many mechanics check if the friendship is mutual before executing.
(Note: This mainly happens in non-team games. In teamgames only teammembers may be friends, by default.)

*Viewing List of Friends

To see whom you have "friended" open the console and enter the command listfriends .

*Removing a Friend

To remove a friend open the console and enter the command removefriend x with x being the number of the friend
on the listfriends list.

*Friend Commands

Commands associated with the friend system are:
friends
unfriend
listfriends
listexfriends
restorefriend

Commands associated with the tolerated in the friend system are:
tolerate
untolerate
listtolerated
restoretolerated

tolerateall
tolerateloveall
tolerateloveallabsolutely
toleratenone
tolerateabsolutelynone

Commands associated with the hated in the friend system are:
hate
unhate
listhated
listexhated
restorehated

(NOTE: To open the console press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.)

*Toleration and Hate
In addition to friends, one can have lists of those who are merely tolerated, or those who are hated.
By default, those who are tolerated will not be fired upon by a player's buildings, and will not be attacked by his monsters
unless they are attacked first. When a player is removed from the tolerated list (by the command untolerate or an alias)
they are placed in the exfriends list and can be restored via the restoretolerated command (restoretolerated x where x
is the number they occupy on the exfriends list).

Those who are hated are always attacked by a players monsters and towers, even if they are "friends" too! To hate someone
eye them, even from a distance, and enter the command hate . To unhate someone enter the command unhate x where x is
the entry on the listhated list.

A global policy can be set by a player at will. The command tolerateall will see all non-categorized players as tolerated,
while tolerateloveall will see them as friends and tolerateloveallabsolutely even lets them enter one's doors. There
is also toleratenone and tolerateabsolutelynone which begin to hate all comers. Your monsters and turret towers will
act accordingly.

**Jailing and Torture
Chaos-Esque Anthology includes a method for jailing opponents, (or teammates), if the map or the buildings you build have
prisons or duengons.

*Capturing a player

To capture a player first you must have the handcuffs or shackles. To capture a player approach them while holding the handcuffs
or the shackles and attack them with it via the Left Mouse Button (primary fire). If you are in range they will be captured.
To move them to one side or the other look at them and press the LeftMouseButton again, or Shift+LeftMouseButton. To release them,
look at them and press the RightMouseButton. When a player is captured they will lose their weapons and not beable to pick new
ones up.

*Jailing a player

To jail a player take a captured player to a jail and release them inside the jail cell. The maps krilldonjon, darkhold,
desertcastles, and opposingcastles all have jails that can be used. The buildable buildings: security building, gaol,
and small jail, contain jails.

A player can also be chained to a torture device, a post, or the wall if there are appropriate restraints. The following maps give
this option: krilldonjon, darkhold, opposingcastles. The following buildable buildings do aswell: Gaol. Players are placed by
releasing them (RightMouseButton while looking at them and holding the Shackles or Handcuffs) in the device area.

Jailed/Chained players will respawn where they were jailed or chained, again and again, untill they are freed (if ever).
To become free, the player must escape the jail, or be release outside of the jail.

*Extended Torments

When a player is chained to a wall or a torture device, he can be blinded or mangled.
To do so the tormentor must approach the subject with a bladed or spiked weapon in hand. Then the tormentor may enter
the console command blind or the console command mangle or hobble . These injuries will be permanent for the current
match, including if the player exits and rejoins. There are a few other commands possible, if the server admin allows it.

**Spawn Preferences
Chaos-Esque allows the player to decide if he wishes to spawn in his own buildings he has built, his mutual friends
buildings, or the normal maps spawns. This is accomplished by the spawnprefs command. By executing the spawnprefs
command in the console, one can toggle through the options. One can also enter a direct command to set one's spawn
preferance. The list of commands are:

spawnprefs
spawnprefsany
spawnprefsfriends
spawnprefsfriendsonly
spawnprefsmap
spawnprefsmine
spawnprefsnone
spawnprefsnormal
spawnprefsnormalonly

(NOTE: To open the console press ~ or Shift+Esc. To exit the console press Esc or press ~ again.)

**Quest Spawns
Quest-spawns allow you to play a map in a single-player-esque way. When questspawns are enabled, if a map has a
questspawn area set in its .mapinfo file, then all other spawnpoints are disabled and new spawnpoints are generated
in that area. Otherwise a random area is selected and new spawns are created in that spot. Thus a starting-point for
the map is created. One notable map where this system is taliored to is DarkHold.

*Enable Quest Spawns

To enable questspawns open the menu dialogue Multiplayer > Create > Advanced Settings , then scroll down
past Teamplay Settings to Teams ; there you will see a checkbox labled Quest Spawns ; press that checkbox
to enable questspawns.

**Spells
Chaos-Esque Anthology includes a spell casting system which allows players to learn spells by reading spell-books and
to cast spells by reading scrolls or casting the spell from memory if a spell-book of that type has been read and
the player posesss sufficent mana. Starting mana can be set in the Multiplayer > Create > Advanced Settings dialogue,
aswell as in the Multiplayer > Create > Spells dialogue. Mana can also be gained by drinking potions of mana and
potions of rejuvenation.

*Selecting and Casting Spells

To iter forward through your spell list press x , to iter backwards press z , to cast the selected spell press c .
To see the status of your spells enter the console command:
spellstats

To cast a spell you know enter the console command:
cast spellname

To read a scroll enter the console command:
read scroll spellname

To read a book in-order to learn a spell enter the console command:
read book spellname

(NOTE: You can also read a skill-book in the same way to learn an architectual skill
for use in the buildable building system)

*Starting Spells

Using the Multiplayer > Create > Spells dialoge one can set what spells players will start with.
Starting mana can also be configured using this dialogue.

**Grenades
Chaos-Esque Anthology's deployable munitions selection include:
Grenades : standard concussion grenades
Fragnades : grenades that disperse many deadly fragments
Flashbangs : deployable asset that blinds enemies in a radius upon exploding
Smokenades : asset which creates a smokescreen
Landmines : anti-personnel mine which can be buried if placed on a suitable surface.
AT Mines : anti-vehicle mine with a large explosion radius, which can be buried aswell

User talk:Malaiencti

2025-12-22T07:43:29Z

Modanung: /* Self-explanatory */ new section

==Haste makes waste==
I rejected two of your edits ([[Blinken]] and [[LTris]]) due to discrepancies between the release date and ISO release date. Kind regards. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 14:44, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
:Sorry for that. I've resubmitted them, hopefully there are no more errors. [[User:Malaiencti|Malaiencti]] ([[User talk:Malaiencti|talk]]) 14:19, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

== Self-explanatory ==

Hi, Malaiencti. I'll just let this quote from [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html GNU.org] speak for itself:
:"Some people call this license “the MIT License,” but that term is misleading, since MIT has used many licenses for software."
Therefore, "''an'' [[MIT License|MIT license]]" is more correct, but thanks for the effort. Kind regards, [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 07:43, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

'''Shamanic Mountain Guardian''' (Shamogu) is a coffee-break roguelike game with a focus on tactical movement and careful timing of totemic spirit invocation and comestible consumption. Visibility and noise stealth mechanics also play an important role.

''All life in your mountain is being corrupted. Beasts are losing their mind and becoming agressive. These disturbing events started to happen after a dungeon portal suddenly appeared at the top of the mountain. As the guardian, you decide to explore that dungeon in order to find and destroy the source of corruption… You hope luck will be on your side!”''

==Features==

* Short runs (around half an hour).
* 9 levels deep dungeon, 3 distinct map generators, 27 monsters including various wandering uniques and guardians, 5 primary spirits and 7 secondary ones, 4 magic menhirs, 5 runic traps, and 7 comestibles.
* Both graphical tiles (web or SDL) and terminal ASCII versions. Animations. Simple controls. Mouse-friendly compact 80x24 layout. Automatic recording for later replay!
* Find '''totems''' to chose and upgrade spirits with both passive and active abilities.
* Comestibles all have more than a single effect!
* Fun interactions between the various status effects.
* Varied '''attack patterns''' depending on chosen primary spirit.
* Many monsters with ranged attack patterns.
* Visibility and noise stealth mechanics. Monster '''footsteps''' can be heard.
* Flammable dense foliage.
* Limited healing through comestibles and magic portals.
* Ergonomic targeting based on the player's '''current direction'''.

==Influences==

The game takes some inspiration from previous games by the same author [[Boohu]] and [[Harmonist]] for some stealth elements and effects, but it is otherwise different from both.

The '''Dry''' engine is free, lightweight, cross-platform and suitable for 2D and 3D games alike. It is implemented in C++ and released under the [[MIT license]].<ref name=docs>[https://dry.luckey.games/index.html Documentation]</ref> Dry is a fork of [[Urho3D]] and uses [[SDL]] as its multimedia library. [[Bullet Physics | Bullet]] is included for 3D physics<ref name=physics>[https://dry.luckey.games/_physics.html Physics]</ref> and [[Box2D]] for 2D physics. Target platforms include Linux, Raspberry Pi, Android, macOS, iOS, tvOS, Windows and web.<ref name=building>[https://dry.luckey.games/_building.html Building Dry library]</ref>

The engine comes with QtCreator wizards for creating project and class scaffolding.<ref name=wizards>[https://gitlab.com/luckeyproductions/tools/drywizards Dry Wizards]</ref>

==Naming==
Primarily, the name Dry refers to evolution. Since the Urho3D engine was named after its founder's pet fish - and the "waters" grew increasingly toxic after he stepped down - the name of the fork was chosen to reference its migration to dry land. Of course drying is also a way of preserving fish. In Old English, ''drȳ'' means wizard or sorcerer, cognate with ''druid'', which set the magical branding theme of the project. Furthermore, the name has interlingual tangents, as it sounds like German ''drei'' (three) and Dutch ''draai'' (turn/spin/run).

The engine comes with QtCreator wizards, to create project and class scaffolding.<ref name=wizards>[https://gitlab.com/luckeyproductions/tools/drywizards Dry Wizards]</ref>

==Naming==
Primarily, the name Dry refers to evolution. Since the Urho3D engine was named after its founder's pet fish - and the "waters" grew increasingly toxic after he stepped down - the name of the fork was chosen to reference its migration to dry land. Of course drying is also a way of preserving fish. In Old English, ''drȳ'' means wizard or sorcerer, cognate with ''druid'', which set the magical branding theme of the project. Furthermore, the name has interlingual tangents, as it sounds like German ''drei'' (three) and Dutch ''draai'' (turn/spin/run).
