Oh, here's an idea for plotscript command tags (named [command]? Maybe [cmd] or [plot]?), which creates a link to the wiki similarly to the wiki tag. The differences:

*You wouldn't have to type "plot:" as part of the link, and it could display just "command name" as the link, instead of "plot:command name".

*Mediawiki's case sensitivity is a real nuisance. The pages on the wiki have the same name as the display names in the xml, so there are pages like "Plot:Walk hero to x" and "Plot:Walk NPC to X". I wish for a case and space insensitive [plot] tag. You could strip whitespace and case and compare to he names of valid commands, from http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/docs/plotdict.xml, to get the real link. Admittedly there aren't many exceptions, but I can never even remember that the page names use whitespace. And the capitalisation and spacing of the name might change in future, and this is a forward compatible linking method.

*And you could even show the links in red if they don't match anything in the xml! Remembering exactly what a command is called is hard: this would be very helpful.

*(Bonus: correct links to 'plot:(AMP)(AMP)' and the other exceptions to the xml names)


If you did this, that would be great, but if you'd rather work on CP, I won't complain :)

Of course, the command pages on the wiki are currently out of date and are missing dozens of recent commands. I wish James uploaded the html version somewhere so that you could link to that instead?

What about linking to http://hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/docs/plotdict.xml ? The xml file displays fine on all the web browsers I have tested it with.

That would work, except it takes 15 seconds to load for me. So the html version would be a lot more convenient.

I certainly think it's possible. Getting better versed in XML parsing via PHP and I'll give it a try. I really prefer [plot] over [command].
