this is my (in progress) attempt to create a better Soldat polyworks manual
help, constructive criticism, (topic pinning), advice, etc. are accepted and hoped for I hope this guide helps when I am done with it
I hope this is easy to understand
THE ADVANCED SOLDAT POLYWORKS MANUAL
to jump to a part you are having trouble on, press "ctrl + f" that's the
default "find" key command for windows. (not sure about other os's
[operating systems]) the find "words" will be written [like-this] after
the chapter name
1.teh cred's --- okay, first things first, I would like to credit a
couple of people. First, Michal Marcinkowski for making soldat. second,
Anna Zajaczkowski for making soldat polyworks, but not making a manual :P
Anna's the one who made this idea possible.

2. intro [intro]
---general--- [gen-in]
this manual was made because I had a hard time starting to make my maps.
I didn't know a thing I was doing, I couldn't do anything with waypoints,
I was a hopeless mess. I am hoping this will change that for other people
starting out with this application.
---polyworks--- [pol-in]
polyworks is the new *official* map maker for the super-awesome (if I may
say so myself) game "Soldat" it (obviosly) makes maps, but is kinda hard
to understand at first.
---what is a map editor?--- [edit?]
a map editor is for the people who don't want to settle with just playing
the game, but want to be a part of making it. it is almost like a journey
into programming, without the mind numbing jumble of c++ or other coding
"languages"
---why do I need this?--- [why-edit?]
well, how are you going to make a map otherwise? say magic words and then
*poof* a map appears? I don't think so ;)
3. interface [intf]
---"file"--- [file]again, help is necessary for the survival and completion of this guide, so HELP (please)

I'll be working more on this during the weekend (three day weekends YAY CHARTER SCHOOLS
) and at holiday breaks (I don't go anywhere then anyway)
