For some time now, I've been working on coding a Bracket creator/manager for Liquipedia. The main goal of this blog is to "release it" now, even if it's not competely finished yet, because I've heard some people would like to have such a tool, or even have started creating a similar piece of software.
First version Here is the result of the first version of this manager: http://tolueno.fr/liquipedia/bracketmanager This displays a bracket where you can choose a bracket, edit the flags, races, IDs of the players and scores, and gives you the resulting wikitext of the bracket to copy/paste into a Liquipedia edit box.
Quick demo (not exhaustive but the essential functionalities are introduced) Please bear the 'scrappiness' of the presentation, and the music... (Watch in 480p+ quality)
Latest version I'm currently working on a MediaWiki extension, that could be integrated directly in Liquipedia. It takes into account some of the latest features of the Liquipedia brackets, like maps and links to VODs included in the bracket: http://tolueno.fr/wiki/Special:BracketManager You still need to copy/paste the resulting code to an editing box (no video to introduce the new features, but I hope the tool is intuitive enough).
It is a work in progress. I'm currently working on simplifying the tool to integrate it directly in the edit box of any LP article. I hope I will have the time/be motivated enough to introduce the final version soon™.
will you include a music player with bossanova tracks on it into the media wiki extension? (JK JK keep up the great work Chapa, looking forward what this will look like)
Did you read my mind? I was thinking of doing a bossa nova / samba theme for all my video introductions of Liquipedia-related projects. Well I added this song because I didn't want to make a commentary, but did not want the video to be without sound either
I actually stumbled upon this song in the YouTube song list available in their editor, but the original version of this song is quite good. Bossa nova is really good to chill.
Hello, obviously non-advertising person. *wink* Thank you for making your first post in my thread! *wink* *wink*
You missed the point of this thread though, the goal is not to create and manage a tournament, it is to fill a bracket template to be put on a StarCraft II wiki.
