I want to maintain a seperate thread with links and downloads to documentation for S3D, so here goes. This thread probably isn't going to be popular in terms of post rate, but the idea is to have a list of resources with info regarding S3D, both externally as within subsim.

Below I will summarize all links to documentation. For now, there will be only one but I will try to add more asap:

Changelog for S3D (http://sh4.skwas.net/changelog.aspx)

Cloning/remapping with S3D (http://sh4.skwas.net/manual/remap)
[TEC] Import/export 3D models to/from game using S3D (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=135177)
[TEC] Propeller spin direction - how to fix (video tutorial) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=138212)
S3D model viewer explained (video tutorial) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=138983)

I have two problems regarding documentation.

One is simple, I'm a dutchie, and so my English is limited. If there is anyone of you out there that wishes to take on an editorial role to correct my writing please do. Good documentation is important, badly written documentation is the same as no documentation to me (I used to work at a documentation/localization agency :doh::lol:).

The other is time. As my main priority is to improve and support S3D, finding time to write documentation is very hard. This is the first bit of documentation since release, so that shows. I encourage everyone who can and wants to write documentation or tutorials (even little things) to do so. I will then put it up on my new S3D site, credit you, and add a link to it here. You are obviously also free to publish it here or anywhere else. If you are interested, please let me know what you want to write so we don't have several people that do the same.

I really need some community help here because as S3D is growing in size and functionality, it will become more and more complex and you may miss out on features, ideas or tips on how to do things, just because noone ever told you.


Last, if there are requests for specific documentation, info or walkthroughs, please post as well.
