My site now has the beginnings of an online manual! I will be supplying project files with each section for demonstration purposes. Please check it out and tell me what you think.

Hey pwirl... Are you going to put the manual from EIDOS into a pretty format or are you going to go into more/other details?

I like the manual, but want more detail in certain areas... namely doors and switches and triggers...

If it's just 'their' manual; nah. If you are doing different stuff, then YEAH!!!!

I am just going to do there manual for now, but when that's done I will add more where I feel it is needed, like doors and triggers. I am also adding downloadable prj files to help as well.

Can you START with the prj files and the special stuff? We already have the manual...

It's what's not in the manual that I want to know.

Hi Moose,
Why don't you have access to your manual? Adobe Acrobat is on the CD too, so you can view it. It the CD is corrupted, you can go to the Adobe website and download it for free, too...

Please, somebody go into details (gory details) about timers and triggers, etc...

All the best,
-Michael

PS - you don't have to post two or three times in succession (I hate when people do that)... you can can click on the pad/pencil icon and edit your message.

If someone would be willing to rewrite the manual then I would post it, but as of now I have a full time job and almost have no time for anything anymore. If you can't be appreciative like some of the others then please keep it to yourself. I'm not trying to be mean it is just very difficult to do things.

WOAH!! NO disrespect intended. All of us have full time jobs, I understand. I am just looking for answers to my questions, have have not been able to get answers. I questioned the validity of putting the manual online because if you have the editor, you already have the manual, no?

Pwhirl - I have great respect for the folks who have made the time to publish their levels and for those who create websites for the rest of us to browse. Kudos and Thanks to you guys!

I will probably have a question and answer page so don't worry. I will be able to aanswer your questions there. The reason I am putting the manual on my site is you can print it easier. I find the adobe manual uses a lot of ink and has unneeded pictures, not that I don't like the pictures. Well I have a few things planned but you'lll have to wait and see.
