Downloading the Manual

Kimchi · 06-13-2016, 10:06 PM

Hey everyone is there anyway to download the manual? This one to be exact.

Out of the Park Developments Online Manuals

This is a great manual and I would love to have it in PDF format and I am not sure if I am just looking in the wrong place (possible) or if it doesn't exist.

Thanks everyone!

Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to download the manual. However, most of the manual is also available in game, when you press F1.

For the record, the main challenge with that is that formatting something for webpages is very different from formatting them to fit in a printable document. Even just the creation of the manual content is
an enormous task, there just isn't enough time to format it multiple different ways.

Really? I'm surprised because I've done it plenty of times. Copy paste into Open Office Writer although not all at once with a large document. Go over it to make sure it's correct. Them export as a PDF. Pretty simple. I recall a couple years ago with a wargame I play, a guy did it with an html manual that was about 400 pages when it came out. Probably took him 4-5 hours for one that huge.

If anyone is interested I am going to create an offline manual.

Hey, more power to you if you want to tackle it.

I suspect that this one could be well over 600 pages.

No, the html version works better with this game imo. I was just surprised at your comment which didn't make sense based on my experience.

Its not that bad at all. I am just clicking the links and printing to PDF.

I think having an offline manual works best for me. Much thanks to Kimchi or whoever manages to get one done.
