the_mask Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I also have that large pdf version, but if you can shrink it, I think that'd be best for our young collegue http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Officer Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 i used adobe 6 pro to shrink the pdf to 20 megs. however, i also used pro to convert it to html. very nice. i love myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Nice work! Why is the initial version so large, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Because its a rather large manual. Mine is actually divised in six different files on my disc. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator2 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 i have it however, it is in PDF format and is 53 MB. I tell you what. if no-one comes hither to offer I will shrink the manual size and post it on my website. good? Could you use winzip to shrink it? I'd love to have a copy. Where is your website??

asdfff Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Sorry to bump this, but I think posting an online manual is a great idea. There is a recent surge of interest in old skool SW stuff...fans-potential players...that I've talked to, who's going back to try out games like Yoda Stories, Rebel Assult, JKI, Dark Forces, X-Wing alliance, and you know. Old school stuff. But they're all afraid to buy SWR and give it a go because they've all read the reviews on window shuffling or whatnot. SS Officer, Imperator2, and whoever else, I think you should post the 50 or 20 mb pdf file, or zip up the html conversion for download somewhere (perhaps on SWR.com, but bandwidth probs...). The manual, despite what we might feel, do a pretty good job of being a manual. An html formatted one is easily accessible and can help newbies (who's inherited a 5th-hand used CD) understand the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 It might be a better idea to have the manual online and accessible in parts rather than for download... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator2 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 It might be a better idea to have the manual online and accessible in parts rather than for download...

Darth_Officer Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 you mean online at this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Yes, as a web manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JediIgor Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Ahh, a web manual. A good idea indeed. Get cracking boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 What would be the most functional way of doing this, JI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JediIgor Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Well, create an HTML page with the table of contents, then create each separate page and make sure to have "Next/Previous/Table of Contents" links there. I suggest having several pages which consist of "big" sections and using the table of contents to take you directly to an anchor (#something).

asdfff Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just getting an update on how the manual htmls are coming along. I'm just asking, because there are people with pdf manuals, in case it's too much trouble to convert them into html and then post it to the site. For instance, I have the ~50 meg file as well as the one that was split into 4 parts (although that one is in French. hence, useless for our current purpose).

Guest Scathane Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 How large would it become if converted to html? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfff Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 The bare minimum, in which I took only the text parts of the html conversion, comes out to be ~250k in rich-text format if all formatting is preserved. The size for the total html conversion varies wildly depending on formatting and how pretty I make it look initially. From this I will say that I am not the best person to submit the manual.

Guest Scathane Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 It is a good idea to put the manual up here starting from what you have, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
