Found two references last night while looking for information on just how big a crater from an artillery shell would be, plus how it would look. Interesting reference for those looking for some scale realism.

Nice find and i have a suggestion. Is it possible to merge all the posts about references/resources in one sticky?

Problem with that is a lot of theme links go down quite often, nice find Waldo.

My suggestion would be to set up a wiki with this kind of reference material. I'd personally think it kind of nifty if "the masses" (aka "you guys") would go to the Valve Developer Wiki and start a side-section with reference materials.

I could do it on mapmonger if of course people were keen to help out, even locally host media to ensure these things don't just dissapear.

If some one started up a wiki page for it I'd be happy to add something every now and agian. But I'm not confident enough in creating one myself, it'd turn out horrible :)

i'll do it on mapmonger then, add some tutorials n dod stuff etc... i'm confused by the wikipedia software :E anyone help me out to find the correct download :O?

Here we go:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download

i would be willing to get some hosting and a domain name to support this. gather all info related to dod mapping and put it in a nuke envoironment. let me know guys, and ill se what i can do. i know this can help alot of people.

What's wrong with Valve's http://developer.valvesoftware.com wiki? Fully backed up, paid for by someone else, maintained by someone else...

too much to sort thru?

i dont know...
just a suggestion sheesh...

I'd rather have everything in the same place. Valve's wiki could definitely benefit from this, and you don't have to make your new wiki/address known which can only add to the success of the venture
