Little soldier (formerly known as Vanitas on ....---------) :mrgreen:
-
I will down load in the morning USA EST then part 2 during supper. :roll:
Thank you JMM :D
-
So, the server will collapse from overload at about 11.02 AM I should think!
-
Just a delay because we have a trouble to build the pdf file :oops:
JMM
-
What ia another slight delay. I am just grateful your project continues.
Awaiting some bed-time reading :D
-
Do we get it today? :p
-
Yes...
-
Mes yeux attend, patron!
-
the problem is about the layout with the size of pdf (12 * 18 cm)
texts and screenshots aren't at the good places.. but there are significant progress.
JMM
[EDIT 04:53 PM] French manual is ready... We are finishing the English one...
-
Fantastic - I have the French manual. At last, after so many years, a tangible product. Well done JMM and all the team and I hope my wife will be able to forgive you for the many hours that I think I may be spending on Histwar.
-
Yeah,the manual is very nice indeed,but it is very hard for me to read it in french...I'm waiting for the English one
-
Wow my connexion made some mistake but now i can post here.. hope you will like the manual, by now you can see the french book 1 but you can have an idea even in french... beware 104 pages for Book I :mrgreen:
-
You lucky devils. :D
Oh the anticipation......
-
A little theme music from "Jepardy" is needed here.
To wait just a tad more...
-
Yeah,the manual is very nice indeed,but it is very hard for me to read it in french...I'm waiting for the English one
Surely M. Cambronne with a name like that you must speak a little of the language :D
-
:D heh,It seems that reading French is not that difficult as I was thinking. Still,the English manual would give me a better understanding of the concept and especially the editors.
Of course,a Romanian one would have been even better. :lol:
-
To my great suprise I can not read French(I suspect that french isn't a language at all but some sort of code)
So I have to wait for the english manual
-
Hey, Reading French is extremely easy ... understanding what you have just read is bleedin' hard :shock:
-
Latin and/or greek roots rather than germanic. ;)
-
Latin - Romance language.... = not celtic :p
-
To my great suprise I can not read French(I suspect that french isn't a language at all but some sort of code)
So I have to wait for the english manual
LOL "some sort of code" :lol:
-
Perhaps we require "Enigma" to download it ;)
-
Quite impressive; first part of the manual. Congratulations to JMM and his team! :smile:
-
Presume we can download English edition tomorrow now. Everybody gone home methinks ;)
-
Presume we can download English edition tomorrow now. Everybody gone home methinks ;)
I don't know.. Manual is ready BUT we have some trouble to get the good pdf file size.. For an unknowing reason, this size is around 70 Mb.. only 5 Mb for the French one... really curious.. and I am a bit nervous :roll: ;)
JMM
-
JMM you should release this pdf even if it's more bigger than the french one, I think than everybody in this forum would download this version quickly with an average internet connexion.
-
I think as long as we just read loudly we English speakers will understand the French version! ;)
-
Is up and running!!!!
-
It's strange the english version doesn't work with me.
-
It,s still loading ... 12MB now and counting
-
Downloaded and Doesnt load in Acrobat Reader 9.
Doesnt work when loading direct to a web page and Acrobat either
It says The File is Damaged and cannot be repairer.
I have tried twice. Will try again 8)
-
Around 2 minutes before finishing ;)
-
OK, thanks JMM.
Will go to the fridge and grab a beer, then back and start downloading :D
-
JMM,
I think maybe it is the background picture.
In the French version, is the program for the pdf using one file to make the background on each page?
In the English version, it may be that the program is confused, and is saving a new background for all of the 100+ pages.
That would make the pdf much, much bigger.
-
User's guide ready...
Go!!!
JMM
PS : there are some French Shots in this manual, and maybe some errors... Please, you could send a PM if you detect some problems with the English texts... We are going to adjust this manual before releasing.
-
Woohoo! Got it now.
And us English have 106 pages, the french was 103 :D
P.S. I know it is only formatting ... it just makes me feel better for waiting longer :D
-
How do you download it (where to click)?
-
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :oops: Forget the address :shock:
http://www.histwar.fr/dl/manuels/book-01-v1.00.pdf - Click right to record the file
Enjoy
JMM
-
I think I've found the size difference. The French manual is in text while the English manual is all graphics. You can select text sections to copy and past into a translator in the French version. You cannot do this with the English version.
Hook
-
I have it, thank you JMM :mrgreen:
Do you have a plane copy as I can print it off at home :?: (its mostly the back ground that would use up my ink)
-
Just returned from seeing 'The Duellists' at the local library and find the English manual available.
Delicious!
You Bea-uty JMM!!
-
Got it! Downloaded at nearly 200k a second too. So I can put away my Collins Gem French-English dictionary.
-
Brilliant! I must admit I stayed up until 2am here in Australia, downloaded the French version and scrolled through it. Finally... the real thing is here...
-
Looks good. Thumbs up :D
Now the wait for the demo starts!
CBR
-
:D Well done! :mrgreen:
-
I hope the manual is done in A4 it is a sod to read in the current size. I have printed it off A4 double sided so it is very legible - well it would be apart from the difficulty in reading some of the screenshots such as the messages shot. It may be improved if I use colour for those pages ......
I really really hope that there can be an A4 manual though. And the coloured background to the pages is one of those annoying arty farty nods to supposed Napoleonic paper quality which does nothing to improve legibility. Readers 0 Manual Designer +1
Incidentally the printing out was because I am seeing some wargaming pals tomorrow night - I want to see them drool. Not because of their age you understand but for the game. However their age would be a factor in reading squitty A3 sized manuals.
Keep up the good work JMM and team
-
For the final release, there will be 2 pdf files...
A4 without background for printing
12 * 18 for reading and the hard manual.. it's the reason why we choose this first size (and not A4)
BTW, some screenshots are in French, other ones aren't good.
Just a pre-release version.
JMM
-
Thanks for the full info JMM. I am a little confused as to "hard manual" however I am sure you have everything in hand. :)
I hope to report by the weekend three more buyers!
-
Yes indeed. Nothing like enthusiasts as salespeople, is there?
I'm doing my best to promote same here in Copenhagen and back in Melbourne, Australia!
Also good to hear that you welcome a little copy editing, JMM. I noticed a few typos last night *yawn* so I'll revisit them and jot the errors down.
Cheers and my greatest appreciation for your tremendous efforts.
-
Soo...have you changed your mind about uploading the 2nd book? Or it's just a short delay ? Thanks!
-
Just a delay.. I am working on a new version for the Book1.
French Book2 is finished. I have to include the English screenshot within the English Book2.
JMM
-
wow,quick answer! Thanks!
-
Thanks very much for update. Am reading manual now - still!
A very lucid and complete one if I may say so :D. Problem is that it makes me more impatient for the release of programme.
-
yeah...I wasn't that impatient since two years ago. Now if I wasn't at the office in the middle of the city,but into the countryside I could imagine colums of infantry behind that forest,a battery on that hill,squadrons of cavalry charging the battery...so on. :roll:

Hello !
Book 1 has been replaced by a new version (some corrections and different way to generate pdf -> the file is only 4Mo)
Book 2 (in english) is coming tonight, but french one is already available : http://www.histwar.com/downloads.html?relPath=manuels

The Book number 2 will explain the 3 Editors.
With Book 1 and Book 2 all of you can understand better all the little news collected during these years.
Enjoy reading the rules for, thanks those 2 manuals, you can have a wide explanation on how "The Engine" is going and all its potential.
(For example i lose often myself in creating Order of Battles)

I second that notion, what an amazing feature. I also loved how the 2nd book was uploaded slightly early, almost exactly on time (7:00pm EST)!
Sure feels like things are moving ahead as planned now, many thanks and much anticipation!

Super work, so much info to take in, we need the demo to help understand some of the concepts, but it's great to be able to take a look at the manual early....brillent job.
-
Realy great work. Thanks!!!!!!!
-
Downloaded both books last night. Not read every word yet, but it all looks excellent.
Can't wait for the Demo.
Many thanks for everyone's efforts concerned.
-
Merci bien!
-
Having read the first book of the manual, I'm quite impressed, but I fear this game needs a lot of exercise to get some a grip on it.
-
i wonder how many downloads do the manuals, book1 and book2 come up with? ;)
-
Great question AnkLrd, that must give some kind of indication on how well LG will sell.
Is it hundreds, or thousands ?.......
-
Just finished book 1 and book 2 :D
When were the book 3 and book 4?...and what were they about :oops:?
-
