MECHDRAGON777 · Postby **MECHDRAGON777** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 10:49 pm

Hello, I would like to announce I will be making a walkthrough boom for several episodes on the forums! Of you would like a walkthrough if your episode, please state the name of it in this topic, and post a link to it with we other you want it in a normal "Microsoft Office" type program or a web page! "I will not host the we page, just create it!

If you use a hub, then I will just use screen shots of the levels normaly and try to post only the sections of the Hub possible to acces at the time it can be accesed!

If you use a world map, I will do a world by world screen shot, an if I can not get the map in a rectangle shape and prevent the black area, then I will edit it just I add the water or tiles around it to make it not stand out!

Currently on the list by priority

Spoiler: show

Advantages of HTML formate
•I will do photos and videos of all levels
•You can still treat it like an Word file that can not be edited (without he knowledge of how)
•Will get your order done faster
•I can fix any bugs faster with multiple web-page files
•More organized

Advantages if Microsoft office word
•I have a bit of experience
•can be printed without wiring about forgeting videos!

If you can think of another point, just post it!

IMPORTANT
If I have your episode in my list and you do not want a walk through for it for what ever reason, let me know and I will stop working I. It and remove it from my list! thank you!

By anyway HTML is more flexible and readable by everyone, you can even put all stuff into alone ZIP-archive. Also only HTML supports links between pages. If you will do all in alone Word document, it will be huge and hard to search even if you will make contest with tagged links inside file. Anyway with HTML you have able to faster edit some page to fix some bugs in them.
You will have able to do:
contents.html for links to all available docs and inside each document you have stuff for some episode. You even can use tagged links inside each episode document:

Code: Select all

<a href="#mytag">Go to my tag</a>

which will scroll you to this piece of code:

Code: Select all

<a name="mytag">My tag is here!</a>

P.S. A lot of WYSIWYG HTML Editors you can found to do your stuff easier and faster

I can add that to the pros of HTML, but you would have to teach me how to link two or more web pages together that the HTML file is on the person's computer, and I do not know the path tht they save! Maybe to have it scroll down to the world or level, yes, but you will have to teach me how to do that with an example of two files without hosting the file! I use notepad just because it is free and serves my porpous! Thank you forthe advise though!

Don't worry, you need to use RELATIVE paths:

put your HTML files together and links will be:
test1.html

Code: Select all

<a href="test2.html">Test 2</a>

test2.html

Code: Select all

<a href="test1.html">Back to Test 1</a>

or if you put some pages in subfolders, use paths like "folder1/page2.html", etc.

By anyway, take my example - guide for my PGE Editor: http://engine.wohlnet.ru/docs/_laborato ... dalone.zip, just a bunch of HTML files which uses links between each other and some files having a scroll tags.

Anyway, how I sayd, you can look for wysiwyg editor here http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmledito ... wyswin.htm
If you want's edit through notepad, I highly recommends to use Akelpad with plug-ins (you need enable them) or Notepad++.

I will try the code when I get home, and can you PM me the link to notepad++? I can have difficulties on my PC outside of youtube! You are a true help! I hope you like this idea I am doing as well!

What style would you like? I need the style provided by the creator of the episode, and since redigit is not around, I need a vote from an admin for that!

I'd love to see one for Super Mario: Star Expedition, as well as Super Mario Enigma.

Sure, ask chad which one to make it in!

As for egnigma, I can not since it is a puzzle based game, and I am sure I would fail at trying to make it! I will do chad's though!

I know, but he is not around to specify what he wants the walkthrough made in, so I need someone to put down or that! I even said that either the post above yours or on the last page! Sorry about that! I said I would leave it up to admins to chose!

This looks very interesting and I also already thought about it, to make a 100% guide of my episode, once it is done ^^.
I think, too often episodes are a book of unanswered questions, when it comes to level guides, secrets, extras, and other stuff like (possible) eastereggs that can be found within episodes.
Maybe you can help this with your idea :-)

About my project (you spelled it "Lower's Conquest" instead of "Lowser's Conquest" :-P), do you mean you like to do a walkthrough for it, when it is done, or are you talking about the actual demo-version of it?
In case you mean the completed episode, it would be nice to have it, but if you like to do it for the demo, it would not make much sense because many things already changed (especially 2 levels, which got rebuild from scratch) in the demo.

In any case, I wish you good luck and much fun with the walkthroughs for all the projects, as this is quite some kind of hard work, and it can even be frustrating sometimes to do it right and understandable.
Also, I voted for HTML since microsoft word isn't as compatible and cannot be opened with everything.

How many typos am I making!

When i finish my episode (belive me, will delay WEEKS) maybe i choice MS Word.

Why? It's better, because you can see the guide without be online, and also can impress (Why? IDK)

Well, good luck...

...Oh, and if you accept custom titles, i probably choose: Hotel Koopa Enclosed Instruction Book

Reference to Hotel Mario =D

You do not need internet to view a web page if the pages' HTML coding on the computer! The only thing I can not put in the MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD is video and I can not put that in html files either... So internet would be required for video for both, and nothing else! Just know that!

Custom name, sure, but the files will still be named the same as anyway if it is html and he episodes name for the Microsoft office file!

No problem about videos. I like more the style of game manuals from SNES/Genisis, with words and no videos. Makes the episode be like of 1990.
