Introduction

Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, originally developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, now developed by the Warzone 2100 Project. Compared to other real-time strategy games, it has a greater focus on artillery, radar, and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progresses, a massive research tree, as well as a vehicle design system.

Please repair the campaign Walkthrough, can you please set up an tgz or zip version? Thanks! The game is awsome!

Most of the walk throughs are blank, any hope of them coming back soon?

NEW: Obsoleted structures now appear in research descriptions.

For instance: http://guide.wz2100.net/r/whirlwindaasite

Whee! After spending the day messing with the site (you may have seen incomplete versions if you visited earlier today), it's much improved!

Now, all structures, defenses, and bodies get their own pages, and cyborgs get significantly improved pages. The only things that don't get their own page are propulsions, because there's really nothing interesting about them. ;)

In addition, cell phone users, and users with 800x600 or smaller screens, will find that we detect your small screens, and helpfully remove our sidebar.

IE6 users will find that the site looks a bit better now. You guys should still upgrade to Firefox or Chrome, though. :P

There's a new "Cheats" page, for those of you who don't want to dig through the wiki to find the old one. It looks nicer, too. ;)

As for the Walkthrough completeness, Alpha 1, 2, 3, and 5 are currently done. Alpha 4 was done, but was lost to the server crash. I'll have it back up sometime reasonably soon.

Calcatian, you can simply download the website and then convert it to PDF, thats what i did..well i emailed it to myself and then viewed it on my ipod touch so now i can access the wiki anywhere.

By the way, guys, here's a "secret" page, for those of you who want to see what the latest comments are over the entire site. ;)

cool thanks for the site!

Zarel [Admin] wrote on Feb 18:

I just quietly changed DPS calculations from DPS/A0 to DPS/A10. Should give slightly more accurate DPS on the weapons menus, but it still reports high-ROF weapons as being slightly more powerful than they really are.

it is me again. havent played in a while. but i will start again.

zimboptoo wrote on Feb 24:

Zarel: Is there a convenient place on the site where the raw turret data (Base and Upgraded Damage, ROF, Acc, as well as range and HP) is stored in some spreadsheet style format and updated when balance changes are made? I spent the better part of an evening putting together a spreadsheet that calculates which weapons are good against variously armored vehicles and structures, only to have it obsoleted the next week as balance changes were made. The formulas are still good, but having to manually find and type in all the new weapon stats (especially the upgraded ones, since that involves clicking through for each turret) makes the project not really worth it. Alternately, if this data is stored consolidated in the source somewhere, that would probably work too.
Thanks!

zimboptoo wrote on Feb 24:

n/m, pulled it from the source. And sorry for the off-topic comment, feel free to delete (not that you needed my permission).

Zarel [Admin] wrote on Feb 25:

I believe you're talking about:

http://developer.wz2100.net/browser/trunk/data/mp/stats/weapons.txt

Download, rename to weapons.csv, and voilà, spreadsheet!

Due to a mix-up, there were 2.3 beta stats (and research prerequisites) on the Guide for a time. They've been reverted to the 2.2.4 stats, for now.

It would be nice if there was a 'glossary of terms' page.

I made a simple one-sheet quick reference guide in PDF format. It basically has keyboard and mouse commands (helpful for new recruits like me). Is there a place I could upload it for other new recruits to use?
