[bf1942] Wiki? (was: Anyone get RCON working?)

[Dave Snodgrass]

Kinda like the mdt site? As far as i know, dice arranged to have
people document this for us:

http://www.planetbattlefield.com/mdt/
Good example for how functions were documented:
http://www.planetbattlefield.com/mdt/scripting/ObjectTemplate/Types/FireArms.shtm

I'm sure dice will give us something like this again....To have it
community driven (add wiki) would be really nice.
