Personal Trainer Meeting | 16/02/25

Hey everyone, the Personal Trainer team had another meeting to discuss some important changes that will be coming soon, particularly to the FAF Wiki! Please read them below if you're interested in what those proposed changes are:
Aim: - make wiki formatting consistent and modernised, including the FAF Home Page - Sera suggests 4 big rectangles (1v1 2v2 3v3 and teamgames), helps clarify and make it more clear, hence reformatting the whole page - keep getting feedback from people who have no idea about FAF. - Video guides will take priority to showcase a more proactive approach to new players, with text guides being written in the background to ensure future proofing. - Increased promotions of the wiki - Put some ‘alternative’ training resources onto the wiki (Dojo, Strydxr Tournament Discord) - Razana suggests a quickstart guide to help new players when they read the wiki, allowing for an easier learning period when they first start FAF, Dwarf Fortress quick start guide for reference, merge with willow’s video idea to create a good written guide and a good video guide, covering both basis) - All welcome lobbies are less prevalent, could Trainer utilise this? Proposed Format for the Learning Supcom wiki webpage: 1. Essential Beginner Information (openers, Basic decision-making and APM. Unit Orders. FAF Guide – in depth explanations of basic faf concepts) (Willow suggests making this into a video, probably with chapters to help new players remain attentive and willing to move onto the next categories) 2. In-Game Basics (Economy Management, Hotkey Guide, UI Mods Guide) 3. 1v1 Guides 4. Trainer Resources | Replay Reviews, Training Chat, The Dojo 5. Popular Maps | Setons, Dualgap, Astro Crater 6. Self-Improvement (Integrating reclaim, transport rush, replay self analysis) 1v1 Guides (Option One) Beginner (0-500) | General 1v1 Guide Intermediate (500-1000) | General 1v1 Guide 1v1 Guides (Option Two) Beginner Concepts to a new 1v1 player Com Micro? Map concepts | 5x5, 10x10, 20x20 Map Breakdowns (Like Petric used to make) [19:05] Part 2 Game Modes (Option 1) 1v1 (branch off to a 1v1 guide list) 2v2 (same with 1v1) 3v3 (same with 1v1) 4v4 (same with 1v1) 5v5+ (same with 1v1) Game Modes (Option 2) 1v1 Small Teamgames (2v2 / 3v3) Big Teamgames (4v4+) Attendees: Strydxr Seraphim-Noob Razana WillowWisppsi JudokaIf you have any feedback or suggestions, regardless of player rank or contribution bias, please do post it here.
