Viewing the entire Wiki offline?
« on: February 03, 2011, 03:40:53 pm »
So in a couple of days I'll be taking a 14 hour flight from New York City to Hong Kong and I'd like to play DF and utilize the wiki during the trip. But I don't expect to have internet access.

I know I can download pages individually, but is there anyway to get the entire wiki on my HD at once (I mean how big could it be?)

Approximately 1gb of text, and another 4gb of images, at my last check (a few months ago).

I'm guessing that includes revision history and/or consists of formatted HTML - I just did an XML export of every article in the "Current" and "Obsolete" categories (i.e. every single version-specific article), and it was only 10 megabytes long.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Fair point.  Also, it appears images are much smaller since I did a duplicate image delete.  I'll see about what I can do to host a version for download.
