Killing Floor Wiki needs help!

[GeneticArmor]

The unofficial KF-wiki needs help with a bunch of things, for more information visit: http://www.kf-wiki.com/wiki/ToDo

 

[Nanostrike]

That site is absolutely bare-bones right now. It has potential, but I don't have the time to do much...

 

[GeneticArmor]

Just a liiiittle?

 

[Skunkee]

I could probably write a bit during my downtime.

 

[GeneticArmor]

Hooray

 

[Bronzen]

I did some minor editing on a couple pages and I filled in the Hard and Suicidal sections of the difficulties page.

 

[Skunkee]

Edited the Lever Action Rifle page and put content on the Stalker page.

 

[GeneticArmor]

Sweet, the stalker page was pretty much cr**

 

[eamonn]

Currently I'm making minor edits to some of the entries.

 

[GeneticArmor]

Your name is all over the "recent changes" page

 

[Nanostrike]

If you could somehow dig into the game files via the SDK, and pop up some hard numbers for enemy base HP and damage...or Player Weapon damages...that would be awesome.

Just added a CRAPTON of info on the sharpshooter and berserker perks (yesterday and today).

It bugs me that everyone is spelling "Armor" A-r-m-o-u-r. But I didn't want to be the odd one out so when I put in my info I was forced to do the same.

You would rather we spell it wrong?

 

[Bronzen]

Either spelling is technically right.....just bugs me. Lol

I just checked the Wiki again. Where did you find all that backstory stuff on the Specimens and on The Patriarch (Kevin Clamey)? I haven't been able to find that stuff anywhere, even on the old KF mod sites! I eat that kinda story stuff up, so if you know where more is, lemmie know!

 

[Kogitsune]

I was thinking the same as Nanostrike, where in the world did whoever put that there find that?

It almost seems more like fan fiction to me :S.

Well, that's the thing: As far as I know, when the mod was in full swing, the developers came up with a TON of backstory on everything. Each specimen had a story behind it, a reason for it's creation, a specific role in combat, purpose behind it's appearance. And, of course, each had a reason that it was considered a "failure".

For example, the Stalker was made female and largely unclothed, save for some weights (It looks like duct tape, though!) so she would have the perfect weight balance to be silent at a running pace. However, the Stalker was ultimately a failure because they would constantly talk and mutter to themselves and to their "prey" as they stalked.

It also gave the Patriarch a LOT of backstory. If I recall correctly, he was known as "The mad scientist" for quite a while. He had a LOT of family problems (His son dying and his wife trying to leave him, I remember off the top of my head...). He also became obsessive about his work and such, slowly losing his mind.

I really wish I could remember where I read all of this stuff, because it really added a lot of atmosphere to the game beyond the "Its a monster, shoot it!" stuff.

Whoever popped that stuff into the Wiki, if you know where that info is, I'd appreciate a link to it! Or if any Tripwire guys happen to have any backstory stuff...
