Re: Some questions regarding the game
No, you're not the only one... Though FF provides pretty good search functions on HTML pages, I too would love a proper PDF. Better formatting, better presentation, a proper index, proper TOC navigation, a single file instead of dozens...

I have an Acrobat 'write' version, which I rarely use, so I just created a PDF game guide. It was surprisingly easy and only took about 2 minutes. I guess there should be some benefit for all that Adobe bloatware. 
Anyway, you guys are right, it is easier to navigate on 'one page'.
It's 372 pages long, and weighs about 12MB. Perhaps I wait until after the new release, then I'll create a 4.0 version and upload it somewhere.

Hi Don,
I'm no fan of Adobe software. That said, the PDF is actually smaller than the current html files which come to about 18MB after you've included all the graphics files. The PDF is one file, compared to the >300 needed for the html.
But I only have Adobe software on my PC because I have no choice. Their software is definately bloated and self-important. I only install the Foxit PDF reader on my boys computers.

Exactly. A single PDF is easier to handle and actually smaller than the files required for the HTML manual. Not to mention that it's much easier for printing, if you're so inclined. There's a reason why virtually every game today has their manual in PDF form available. 
Cross, if you convert the manual for the next version to PDF, please make if public for download. |
