Introduction

As of the 16th December 2008, the NC-Wiki now has support for allowing users to upload video and sound clips to the wiki.

The NC-Wiki has a new plugin to embed the uploaded videos and sounds into the page. This guide is for wiki users to help them add media content to pages.

Content

Sometimes, you need to illustrate a page with a sound or a video. Here is a rough guide to what we are looking. The Sysops reserve the right to remove any files which are considered unsuitable.

What sort of files to upload

  • Short videos (eg. Players fighting a mob)
  • Sound samples (eg. The creepy sounds of the sewers)

Generally the video or sound should be used to help illustrate an article better.

What not to upload

  • Your uber "I pwned everyone" PvP video
  • Your lastest Hollywood style movie style story/
  • Anything more than a minute long. (May need to think about length here)
  • Anything bigger that 640x320 resolution. (Or do we stick to 320x240 - Steve?)

If you are looking for a site to host your Neocron video, we sugguest using the Neocron Video Archive

Supported file formats

Currently the NC-Wiki will only allow the following video and sound formats.

The player does support other video and sound formats. If you need for a format to be enabled, please contact one of the NC-Wiki Sysops with your requirements.

Uploading files

To upload a file, just use the "Upload file" link on the left. Ensure your file is no bigger than 7megs in size, otherwise the server will reject your upload. The wiki will warn you if the size of the file is bigger than 500k - Just press "Ignore warning".

Using the files in the page

Here is how to use a sound or video clip in a page.

Including your video in a page

Just add this tag in the right place on the page. 

<wikiplayer playlist="Doy_tunnel_fighting.flv"/>

Including your soundclip in a page

Just add this tag in the right place on the page. 

<wikiplayer css="soundclip" playlist="Have_a_nice_day.mp3‎"/>

Video and sound encoding
