Modifying the FSW.dll file

Before editing, make a backup of the FSW.dll file in case the modifications go wrong. Go to <path-to-game>. Open the FSW.dll file with Notepad or other text editor. Using the Find function (Ctrl+F), search for "%s.available.gamespy.com". There will be exactly one entry. Replace the text with "www.example.com/fixes/%s" (or any other working link that is the same length as the original and contains "%s" somewhere. This particular link is guaranteed to work.) Save the file. Launch the game.

Description

The Fixbox is a specialized container used exclusively for fixes, workarounds, and step-by-step instructions. It provides a formal base for them, as well as keeping the wiki clean.

• The title needs to summarize what the fix/workaround is trying to accomplish.
• For sequenced instructions, use # to label each step.
  • # allows numbered lists to be dynamic.
  • Ex. If new entries are placed in the middle of a list, the old entries are automatically re-numbered.
• If the title alone is enough to summarize, the fix parameter can be omitted, see the below one-line fixbox syntax.

Standard fixbox

Name
--instructions go here--

{{Fixbox|description=Name|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|fix=
--instructions go here--
}}

One-line fixbox

For a short one-line fixbox where instructions are not necessary, the fix parameter can be omitted entirely:

Use windowed mode, see Video.

{{Fixbox|description=Use windowed mode, see [[#Video|Video]].|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>}}

Collapsed fixbox

Add |collapsed=yes to the template to have the fixbox appear as collapsed and require user input to expand.

Name
--instructions go here--

{{Fixbox|description=Name|ref=<ref>Reference</ref>|collapsed=yes|fix=
--instructions go here--
}}
