Welcome on the English version of OMSIWiki!

Idea

We (the developers of OMSI) have installed OMSIWiki for getting a better platform for every kind of information dealing with OMSI. At the moment, we plan to have the following topics:

• Presentation of background information about addon design by us (creating of objects and vehicles, sound engine, script engine and so on)
• Tipps and tricks or even entire tutorials written by users, e.g. about creating repaints or maps
• Using of OMSI and especially driving bus could be another topic. Of course there exists a manual, but perhaps there are some things which can be explained a little bit better by other users?
• Also presenting additional projects dealing with OMSI could be another function of this wiki; we think about OAT or the Addon-Manager.
• This wiki could also be the right place presenting high quality and complex addons, e.g. manuals for addon buses or descriptions and schedules for addon maps. But we don't want tiny articles about repaints or something like that! For this you can better use our forum.
• Of course you can also present background information about our maps/buses or addon maps/buses (e.g. stories about the real bus service of Berlin in 1989). But it should be a serious article really dealing with OMSI! Don't write unnecessary tiny articles don't dealing with any addon of OMSI!

Rules

Does my new article fit into OMSIWiki?

Each article should fit in one of these categories:

• Driving the Bus
• Developing Addons:
  • Reference
  • Tutorials
  • Tips and Tricks
• Addon-Manager
• OAT
• Presentation of Addons
• Background Information

But we don't want:

• a bad style in writing! Ok, my English could be much better - but everyone writing here should take trouble writing good articles! Of course if you will find a mistake, you are invited removing it! ;)
• just advertising unknown, small projects, forums, virtual companies and so on. The idea behind OMSIWiki is not the advertising of projects but being an information platform!

"Golden Rule"

First of all the "golden rule": Before writing or changing an article, please check out if there are changes in our rules! Mainly in the time of commencement, there could be rule changes more often.

Communication with Administrators

Before starting a new article, it could not be bad informing us about your intention via e-mail!

Don't create new categories without our agreement!

Multilinguality

OMSIWiki was installed in two languages: English and German. Like on the well-known Wikipedia, articles of both languages can be linked together. Of course it would be ideal if both parts of OMSIWiki are on the same state. Of course in practice, this aim cannot be achieved completely...

Access

In difference to Wikipedia, you have to have an account to make changes. But I don't think that we expect too much... we hope this could be a useful sanction keeping enough control about the wiki.
