Problem with offline wiki package.

Post by Seismos »

Hi there, first time posting here.

I'll keep it short and sweet. I've picked up Love recently and have been trying to learn the ropes, however my internet connection isn't the best so sometimes I don't have access to the documentation on the website. I discovered there is a weekly offline package of the wiki that can be downloaded. This is great and all, but there seems to be a lot of missing files. For example, if I load up index.html and click on "love.graphics" link, the corresponding page, love6.html, is not included in the directory. This is just one missing file; there are many more.

Is there another place I can find the Love docs, or should I resort to using a crawler or something to download the wiki for myself?

Thanks!

Yeah, the wiki download is broken. I did make a crawler of sorts myself a little while back. This download should contain the whole API from the wiki (with fixed links): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i2x4poejlh6n ... _Mmwa?dl=0

There is also this: https://github.com/love2d-community/love-api (though a bunch of things were missing or incorrect last time I looked at it)

Thanks much! After a quick glance, it seems pretty much intact. I did spot a few missing articles, but from what I can discern, those were of deprecated features, so that's irrelevant.

It's great knowing that I can now work without any interruptions, so thank you again.

Oh, yeah, some extra pages/missing pages are for deprecated stuff. Scripts are not working on the downloaded pages, and thus the LÖVE version picker that the online wiki has doesn't work.
