TSRE Manual & Extensions
Vince,
You state that one should print out the TSRE manual and keep it in a binder to be
handy. Being visually oriented, I have done that, but the manual is pretty basic
and I don't think Goku has updated since the start of TSRE. Fine, it is probably
better if the users, like yourself, create the extensions to the manual.
So my suggestion is that while your hints & tips are helpful, I find them difficult
to put in printable form, so I wonder if you or anyone else that creates hints
etc. could do them in a text file, or a .pdf file in addition to the html format
in the forum. You have to hand-key them in initially, so it would seem to me
that if they were hand-keyed to a text file first, this could be easily copied to
the TS edit window, and to a .pdf file. Perhaps Nels can create a section in
the file library were zip files of the text/.pdf files can be placed.
In that format, they could be printed and added to our binders.
For example, there are comments about several procedures for generating
terrain, but no specific instruction about this. I have a interest in this, in
particular handling vertically offset terrain, so maybe I turn out to be the
one to write that part??
I have a one-tile route that I use to try out new objects etc. and I am using
it to aid in learning TSRE, so the idea of a one tile route is a good one.
