Syntax Confusion

This is actually applicable to the entire wiki but it seems there is some confusion as to what should go in the syntax section of many articles.

For instance, in this article it was...

skin [name] {
      model [model]
      [original] [replacement]
}

Where everything in brackets was a descriptor that describes what the text in these spots does.

But, now it's this ...

skin skins/my_skin_location/my_skin_name
{
  model models/mymodel/my_model_name
  textures/original/texture textures/replacement/texture
}

The problem with this change is it's not accurate.

What follows the word skin in the declaration is the name of the skin but in the example above it appears that only a portion of that is the name.

If you were to apply this skin to an entity you wouldn't type "my_skin_name" in the "skin" key/value pair. You'd type "skins/my_skin_location/my_skin_name" in it's entirety.

I agree

I've changed it back to the old one, since there is actually an example further down either way. --iceheart 17:29, 6 Jul 2005 (W. Europe Daylight Time)
