# Talk:Beginner's Guide to EDuke32

From EDukeWiki

[edit]

## My edits

TX reverted all of my edits to this page (then put some of them back). obviously i can't stop him as its his wiki however i would like to make it clear here why i made each of the edits.

- Synchonisation: If you ever wan't your mod to work in multiplayer you have to understand this first otherwise you will screw things up and it can be very hard to troubleshoot sync problems in my experiance.
- Case: i belive that capitalising an identifier that becomes incorrect when capitalised (e.g. onevent) is just asking for confusion and that avoiding confusion is more important than good english. TX seems to disagree
- Eventloadactor: maybe i did go a little over the top in adding this though its an important tool for working around hardcoded stuff and therefore finally giving the con coder the ability to use hitags and lotags as they wish.

I appreciate your efforts, even if I don't agree with all of your choices.

As far as case, I imagine that since all CON commands are lowercase, and that forthcoming examples will demonstrate them as being lowercase, that it's probably okay to stick with writers' rules.

Synchronization, honestly, I'd leave out. I pictured a sort of newbie guide to help people realize that CONs aren't rocket science. I think introducing them to synchronization in the Beginner's Guide might be counter-productive.

Now, we could put that in the Intermediate Guide....

Note: this is going to sound harsh. That said, people who think "want" has an apostrophe in it shouldn't be editing much of my fucking wiki, let alone introducing tons of other grammatical errors into the beginner's guide. Your edits were unauthorized, counter-productive and potentially confusing to newbies. I cleaned up and re-implemented what I thought was appropriate. If you have a problem with this.. well, I don't know what to tell you. Sentences need to be capitalized, as do sections -- this is common sense and proper English. As for synchronization.. by the time this guide is public, EDuke32 1.3.0 should be out -- as you know, EDuke32 1.3.0 throws warnings on actions which could potentially cause a loss of syncrhonization. Even though I've basically made this a non-issue, you'll see that I've included a revised version of your section anyway as I still feel it's important information. Put simply, I don't see why reverting your edits is even an issue and I don't see why this page exists.
