silent hunter 3 community manual ending ??

flag4 · 01-28-08, 06:08 AM

The current host [mysh3.info] will not be renewed and will expire by the end of Feb. 08.
If you would like to print/save anything do it before then as the Community manual will no longer be hosted.

i saw this whilst on a visit to sh3 comm. manual. is it true or have i misread something...?

Sadly, it would appear you are correct.....what a sad/terrible loss

im wondering if it could not be saved as a pdf file. and we could have it on our comps the same way we have gwx2 manual.

i've been struggling with bearing/plotting issues recently and had forgotten about sh3 comm. manual. as soon as someone brought it up on a post for me i remebered and shot over there to read the excellent tutorials on these issues,
it would be a GRAND shame if it dissapeared especially for those new to sh3. so could it be PDF'd or is that just not possible ?

i can only assume you technical folk can answer this...?

May I suggest someone copy it and move the contents to Freewebs. It costs nothing.

Thanks to the web archive it will be available for a long time:

Well, all may be lost. I actually tried to surf around and a few of the pages were not archived. So the web archive is not the answer. There is an extension to store the wiki pages as PDF, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Pdf_Export, but it requires server access.l

Does anyone know the owner of the comm manual wiki page? It would be nice if the wiki db could be saved before the wiki site is terminated.

I agree that the wiki is too good to be lost....

I hearby volunteer to make the entire community manual into a PDF at my earliest convinence. With luck I'll have time in a couple days.

Shouldn't take to long once I get started though. The pain is going to be getting all the images formatted correctly.

Less talk more action, someone please do something the clock is ticking.

This manual is a great piece of work and I, as all of you, would hate to see it go away, or be hard to find. I have copied the manual to my hard drive in RTF format with most graphics preserved. I do not know how to make the valuable links and URL's active so I coppied it entirely. I am going to start my own web site as I am a SHIII (GWX 2 with mods addict) and I realize that withdrawal is not an option. I would be proud to host the manual if no one objects or someone else has not already started to do so. I would need help to clean up what I have coppied and to put the links and URL's back. These are important to me because it gives credit to all the information links and modders who make the Sim great. If someone has already started to save the manual and make it readly available I will back out and wait for the results of the rescue. UPDATE: I now have it in PDF but it is 150 pages. I still need help in puting in links and URL's. It looks good in PDF and graphics are intact,,,

Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam Captains erhalten, und speichern Sie sie für SHIII Geschichte.

The free PDF link in your post allowed me to PDF the whole Community Manual. It worked great.

You may also have made Brag some cash to. If his book goes to a download on the internet I can download it and convert to PDF and read it on my Palm PPC while I am cruising the North Atlantic.

Again thanks.

Are you going to place the manual on line or give a link to the pdf?

Laufen zum Ziel · 02-01-08, 08:57 PM

When my website is up I could post it there. Until I can add links and URL's to it it is quite large (150) pages. If some one was willing to help clean it up I could upload it for general download on file front then everyone interested could download the PDF file to their hard drives. Not quite sure what a sticky is but they seem to stay around. Maybe, once it is good, the PDF link could remain on the forum. My main concern is that the manual does not die.
