Default Re: Mod & Map Manual Feedback

Thank you Edi. You are correct. There is no index of monster commands, so I have to go through the whole list every time I need to find one. Alphabetic arrangement was much easier to search through.

Edratman, I use the mod manual to copy/paste commands. That way I eliminate spelling errors. Which means I use the manual a lot.

You can use the find function to find the commands, because this PDF is text-based, not image based. Even using partial matches it should be relatively easy. The reason each command is not indexed is that the table of contents would be far too unwieldy. Adding a second TOC to the end might be workable, but I don't know yet. The main links are active, so if you need resistances, check that. Some of the organization is based on how stuff is grouped in the Dom3 DB, but not all of it.

I'll look into this sometime next week.

Nice idea. I'm going to start doing it your way.

Thanks

My humble suggestion:

Start a wiki using your updated manuals as a basis. searchable, collaborative, and it would accrue lessons learned and relevant commentary as the forum continues. We modders are a helpful and cooperative lot after all.

Maybe Schrap would host????
