Time Line tool box
General
Looks really great, though would you please have some kind of order to this, like have website related things on one side, or all the media releases one side that sorta thing. Or perhaps all major on one side all minor on the other. Some kind of order. Keep up the good work. The Assassin47 22:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Media Release
I'm adding this on behalf of supernaut:
Timeline is awesome, although missing a few things:
Media Release 5 images
Direct link to PC PowerPlay scans (1st preview)
Direct link to Computer Gaming World scans
Media Release 9 images
+ this needs attention: ", Australia and PC gamerUK".
Everything else is working nicely.

The problem is we have either lost all the media from MR5/9 or it was so long ago that we do not know what media was released. For the rest of the media releases we have had to use moddb , file names, and file date header information. Even with investigative work I cannot confidently place media into those media releases. (same goes for the rest of the releases because I know for a fact we don't have all of them). Good Idea on the mag scans. I just finished uploading a touched version to scribed.--FireTime 20:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
"Co-op officially removed from mod"
Based on the changes of James Kane about the Co-op status on this page, and seeing the discussion about this topic in the Steam Forums and in the Black Mesa Forums, I think that "Co-op officially removed from mod" seems to be too harsh. I'm going to change it to "Co-op development ceased", because I think it suits better to the current status of it.
I'll also change the text in the History of the Mod to reflect those changes.

Big time line update
As you may have noticed by looking at the recently changed log I have completely overhauled the time line. I did this for two reasons, First was that it was poorly programmed and was difficult to edit and align points and their text. Second was that it was not loading properly in IE7.(I have been going around the site and converting all tables to IE7 friendly divs) The new system relies on the template {{TL}}. The time line calls sub templates and these sub templates are designed to display the information pre-formated with an attached point on the line. There are now some things to keep in mind since the data is now loaded thru a template. If you have a URL that contains an equilis sign you must wrap it with curly brackets like this {{=}}. If anyone has questions ask away!--FireTime 05:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
-Not sure if you're done editing, but it's not working. --Deathmonkey7 07:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
press shift f5, the style sheet was updated was your most likely loading from cache.--FireTime 07:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Ah touchè, good sir! --Deathmonkey7 08:01, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
2Day
I'm not super privy to how wikis work, but is there a way to move the "2day" item dynamically based on the time/date? --Dillxn 21:36, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes and no. Cant be done using normal wiki code but could be done if we had the ParserFunctions extension. --FireTime 03:48, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Gotcha. So I guess the real question is, is this a possibility or not? I assume you don't have access to procure such an extension but is (whoever does) willing to do so? It may be a frivolous point now anyway, and perhaps soon moot if the mod comes out anytime soon.--Dillxn 06:16, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
2010 awards
Can someone with the knowledge of the timeline add at the end of 2010 the moddb comment of BM in the MOTY and maybe the vaporware award. Just a thought. --Mont_Blanc 22:36, 04 January 2011 (UTC)
- added --FireTime 10:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Soundtrack
The soundtrack officially going gold should be added to the timeline.. Perhaps even the website redesign? -Deathmonkey7
- What about in the current events page ? --Mont Blanc 15:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, the current events page is only for things on the wiki. -Deathmonkey7 23:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hey guys, feel free to put the soundtrack on the Time Line. Everything that goes on the History of the Mod can go on the TL too, of course shortened. In the case of the site change I don't think that worth note, because it's only a small update and not a total redesign. It doesn't affect the mod development at all. --Conti 01:03, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Added. -Deathmonkey7 02:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Present day?
The "today" marker seems to be stuck on September. Can someone change that? I'm not sure how.Lilgreenman 03:26, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
