Regardless what you choose to do, the versions that are available from the GWX Website will be the most current ones.
Is there a forward schedule of further planned updates ?
If yes, can you advise the chapters please?

Anyway: and thanks for all your admirable amount of work

No Fecking way will I, and I will tell you why. I got an ink printer and the cost of ink in the UK is a Fecking rip off.

Same in the U.S.

The cost of ink/printer cartridges is absolutely STUPID!!!

When I'm sure the manual is 'finalized' (currrently it remains a living document) ... then I will print it out.

I wonder how long it would take to print the GWX manual? How many hours!

Well, it depends on your Printer speed. With 600+ pages in the current edition:
Six pages per minute: ~100 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory

Nine pages per minute: just over 60 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory.

And 600 sheets of paper or 300 if you print both sides... but it takes a lot more time load the documents.


NO print !! perhaps could be better a laptop with the pdf loaded :hmm:

I am taking the manual to Kinko tomorrow and have them print it in black and white and bind it.I am one for reading it when I want, not sitting in front of my computer.

Cheers,
JeffG

What I may do once you release the very last final version is to take it to my printers, probably work out a lot more cheaper and faster.

Exactly what I was thinking Steedman. Even printing it all in greyscale (which would take away a lot of enrichment) would surely burn up at least one full black ink cartridge...hiring a printer to do it would probably be cheaper!

Hi!

I don't have any real schedule, other than to fix typographic and other errors that people find over the next few weeks.

Anything beyond fixing small errors will likely focus on "filling in the corners" of things that we've done in GWX but which I just haven't had time to document in "Das Buch." Yes, even with 600+ pages there's stuff that is not yet documented.

Thanks!

Pablo

Print it out are you mad!

Nope i will just read it on screen or Alt-Tab to desktop whenever i need to read it when in SH3. Thats when i get the game to run, im having trouble running SH3 after a fresh install on a reformatted drive. GWX 2 is not far away, and im showing signs of extreme anxiety syndrome cause THE BLARDY GAME CRASHES TO DESKTOP !!!!

Vista (SH3 ran fine on Vista last time installed)
Patched to 1.4b
Vista Starforce Patch update
Intel 3200, 2gigsram, 7800gtx update drivers
Fresh install on a formatted hdd.
Game loads CTD during intro loading....

Why Why, why....

Help!
