where can I find a manual for offline viewing?
« on: February 07, 2013, 05:53:01 AM »
Hi Community,

Is any one here who can direct me to the place from where I can download the Playmaker user manual for offline viewing?
If not available I request some one to do it for me and for may be many other on the board.

Hi,

 I am not aware of anything like that unfortunatly. I would really like one day to see an ebook made for playmaker, beginning as well as medium advanced technics and cookbook. That would be great.

bye,

 Jean

Hey Jen,

I am talking about the playMaker's online manual. Is there any place where it is available for offline reading or for printing?

A while back we did some research into downloading the wiki for offline viewing, but it didn't seem possible...

But maybe someone reading this knows how to do it? The manual is a fogbugz wiki: https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1

Having said that, the manual needs some updating, so at some point we'll probably bite the bullet and rebuild it in a tool that allows more diverse distribution formats (offline, pdf, ebook). Again if anyone has experience with such tools I'd love to hear about them!

If 4-5 people show interest we can make the manual available offline. We just need to device the manual between us and then copy paste all the text and pages in a word document which will be combines in one doc file and then converted as a pdf for offline viewing.

All those who are ready just ping here so that we can distribute the work and make it available for all.

I'd love a printable manual (.doc/.pdf) so I have something to read at work ;)

Maybe its possible to convert the .html pages of the wiki to .pdf? Although I think a Word document would be even better.

There are browsers' plugins that allow you to download entire websites and consult them offline.
I don't know which browser you use, but try "offline reader" or "site downloader" or something like that.

The html page layouts are reeeeeally spaced out. I'd love something more official and compact that I can print and use as a reference.
