Ok, i'll look at it.

Serial K!ller · « **Reply #2 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:12:13 am »

looks nice but The font is to big, 69 pages !?! :O and i don't really like the special effects on some images...
And shortcuts to the different sections would be nice.

the manual should only be in a cross-platform format

Plonkoon · « **Reply #4 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:22:11 am »

Why? Doesn't soldat only play on widows & linux?

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:24:34 am »

yes... and he says that you need microsoft word to open it.

Furthermore, the manual should be in html or some other format that can be viewed online without having to be opened.

iDante · « **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2006, 02:20:28 pm »

Make it .html. I think you can do that with word. Make all the fonts 5 smaller.

i just think the old manuel needs to be updated.

jettlarue · « **Reply #8 on:** June 27, 2006, 03:35:17 pm »

well if you got openoffice it will open. so it will open on linux systems aslong as they got that. but having it online would be cool. and whats up with it saying "SAMPLE" everywhere? otherwise its great.

Cube · « **Reply #9 on:** June 28, 2006, 04:32:28 am »

ok dudes i see ur biggest problem seems to be the format, that means that i need to make it inot max 30 or less sites and in html, then it will be ok?

the design aso is acceptable?

ah and btw i wanteed to make it into a PDF file but the background would be deleted then so i didnt do it coz it doesnt look so good then but i wanted to make big fonts which are easier to read in PDF thats why they r so big

and the 2. btw is that the SAMPLE thingy is only coz its a beta version the final version wouldnt have it.

and 1 question left, do u like the footer? (which tells u on which site u r)

+ I dont like it. And its super laggy.

Cube · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2006, 04:55:05 am »

u mean u dont link the manual or the cross site or whatever its called format???

Denacke · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2006, 05:51:18 am »

You made some nice additions.

If I may suggest though, We could bundle our efforts into the Soldat wiki. Perhaps one day, this can replace the manual and be a very complete manual.

Cube · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2006, 06:06:45 am »

WOW THANKS

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #14 on:** June 28, 2006, 06:23:34 am »

I forgot about the wiki. Now that Denacke brought it up, I definately agree with him

Cube · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2006, 09:49:21 am »

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #16 on:** June 28, 2006, 02:49:52 pm »

no, you can go edit the wiki yourself.

iDante · « **Reply #17 on:** June 28, 2006, 03:10:44 pm »

I like it.

I think that the manual should be completely redone though.

Cube · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2006, 03:25:09 am »

thx iDante

Cube · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2006, 03:29:19 am »

but could some1 explain me sumthing? contact me via MSN plz!!!!

ah, and btw that what i wanted too, was that the manual would be updated to the www.soldat.pl site, or maybe only added, so there would be 2 files, the old 1 and mine.

what u think about that? and what i gotta do if i want it added there? write to michal?

This is a forum. If you post here with a question, then you should expect to be answered here. If someone wants to go out of their way to contact you via MSN, then fine... but you should not expect people to.

Sotija · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2006, 06:22:18 am »

ITs nice but i like this better.

Cube · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2006, 10:27:50 am »

i meant that i wanted to get ur MSNs and that this would be answered here.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #23 on:** June 29, 2006, 10:30:09 am »

anyone who wants to give out their MSN has posted it in their forum profile

Cube · « **Reply #24 on:** June 29, 2006, 01:59:53 pm »

ok so tell me what i gotta do now?

Denacke · « **Reply #25 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:29:17 pm »

I suggest reading the official sticky about the wiki here.

If there are more questions about the wiki, feel free to put them there.

[R^M]TomaHawk · « **Reply #26 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:56:39 pm »

Its pretty cool it should replace the old 1

Cube · « **Reply #27 on:** June 30, 2006, 05:04:29 am »

oh thx

Cube · « **Reply #28 on:** June 30, 2006, 05:06:22 am »

ok ill add this to the wiki. but how to add a new font? coz i mainly used fonts only avaiable in Word 2007! the fonts were embedded in the file this means that you can see them in the .doc file but i dunno how 2 embedd them into a website?

Stalky · « **Reply #29 on:** June 30, 2006, 05:34:52 am »

Please don't double post, use the

button to edit your last post. It keeps the forum cleaner. Thanks

Cube · « **Reply #30 on:** June 30, 2006, 12:02:21 pm »

oops sry man

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #31 on:** June 30, 2006, 12:19:24 pm »

a wiki isn't about flashy fonts and cool looks, it is about presenting the useful information in a very clear manner.

When it comes to a manual, people don't care about how it looks as much as how well it presents the information people need

VijchtiDoodah · « **Reply #32 on:** June 30, 2006, 06:48:41 pm »

Unfortunately, your manual doesn't add much to the one we already have except for some more interesting graphics. Not to mention the fact that its filesize is gigantic.

If there's anything you can do to improve the manual, it would be to make each section more descriptive and organized into its own page for easy viewing (ie. A scrollable navigation bar on the left with weapons, gamemodes, etc. as clickable links that change the window on the right). Other than that, there's nothing you can do.
