Stole some of the layout inspiration from gametech emugen wiki.
 
TODO: Adapt the structure of the main page to move Howtos to their own sections, and also consolidate specific component topics. I sent the below suggested basic structure to TMC earlier. This is simply a concept for content and organization, and it doesn't have to be followed to the letter, but these are my thoughts in any case. --Bevinsky
 
Walkthroughs
- [[Basic i24 Walkthrough]]
- [[Basic i25 Walkthrough]]
# i24 and i25 are very similar. Instead of having separate pages
# for each of these items, it might be better to cover differences on each page.
# -- Perhaps this is not a desired idea?
 
# document directory structure:
# - Executable/datadir structure
# - other dirs, such as C:\coh_data\attributes?
[[Directories]]
 
# Should assemble magnet links for specific assets?
[[Assets]] # explain client piggs/bins, server bins, maps, SpawnAreas, script.loc
- [[maps.db]] # Usage, format and directives
- [[Templates & Attributes]] # template purpose, usage, generation method, and syntax


# Document for each:
{| style="width:100%; background:#fafafa; margin-top: 0.6em; border:1px solid #a2a9b1; padding: 0 4% 0 8%;"
# - Location
| style="width:65%;" |
# - Purpose, usage
# - Full directive reference / file format
Configurations
- [[gamedatadir.txt]]
- [[servers.cfg]]
- [[loadBalance]] # for both loadBalanceDefault.cfg and loadBalanceShardSpecific.cfg
- [[auction_server.cfg]]
- [[account_server.cfg]]
- [[chat_server.cfg]]
- [[commands.cfg]]
- [[weeklytf.cfg]] # shouldn't this be "weeklyTF.cfg"? is this changed in i25 or is it case-insensitive?
- [[version.ini]]


# Document for each component:
{| style="border:none; background:none;"
# - basic purpose, usage
# - command line flags reference
# - common issues
# - etc.
[[Servers]] # Architecture description?
- [[DBserver]]
- [[Mapserver]]
- [[Launcher]]
- [[Chatserver]]
- [[Authserver]]
- [[Accountserver]]
- [[Arenaserver]]
