Thanx all, I will try...
Nazrix:
The TOC for HTML is kinda stuck. I just update the document in Word97 format, and then just before upload I save RTF and HTML versions. Because I am doing it this way I don''t really have a choice about the TOC and its placement. I will try to get that done at some point though. One small problem is that if you access a framed version from my site, you end up with a rather confusing set of navigation bars, and you wouldn''t have much screen space left then would you?
![](wink.gif)
. I am trying to find a way to stop word from making the TOC into "each line is a paragraph" but it is near impossible without screwing up the formatting. I will try to fix this stuff up soon. It is going to require a manual edit. It needs to be done
Arjan:
Yeah, I am going to upload it to tripod and angelfire (if I can remember my password). I will post those locations up here when I do
![](smile.gif)
Tripod Site is
here and you can get to the doc via the links. It may or may not be uploaded by the time that you read this, I am having some u/l problems though.
I wonder if I can get my old geocities account back, just for another distribution means. I will have to keep tabs on where the source of the doc is, so I can distribute new versions.
Crosswinds will be my main distribution centre though
Voodoo4:
You are welcome to make it better, I need all the help I can get, as you can see from what it is currently, I have a high expectation on it. I need to do some adding to forum links
![](smile.gif)
. Concequently though, how do you propose to do this... I do agree that the HTML TOC is screwed beyond recognition, but that is because of Paragraph formatting, and for some reason word doesn''t like using a new <BLOCKQUOTE> in the same paragraph (ie, if I was just using <BR> for the new lines instead of Word''s Naziesque <P></P> combinations

).
Eyecandy is something that needs to be done. It just isn''t me without the gamedev Smiley Faces
![](wink.gif)
so I think I will add a few in, for charcter.
I am proud of all that
we have achieved here, and I would like to see that this document is continued on, for a long time in the future (if for some reason I cannot continue its update).
Who wants to be nominated as heir to the throne.. er... work?
nicba:
Goblin with EGG on it? Hmmm, how good an artist do you think I am?
![](wink.gif)
. I will see if I can theive MKV''s goblin from his board, and I will do a bit of a touch-up so that it has the ability to hold a sign... If I get time

The audience for the doc is more than just those from GDNet. I intend for any person to be able to understand it. That is why I need for it to be proofread by newbies who have not seen a lot of the threads where these ideas have come from. I often forget that sometimes I am mentioning an idea that was developed over 20 pages (EGG
![](wink.gif)
) and I am compressing it into a paragraph, it sometimes loses its meaning. But I think I will add in a legend anyway, in the Notes section...
By game ideas, I kind of was meaning a combination of systems designed to work together. This way it can be possible to show mock-ups of how each system can work interconnected with others. Does that make sense?
Credit is given where credit is due, I have got most of my ideas from this board, so I think that it is only fair to give credit to the location of my thoughts. Also, a lot of the content of the doc is actually other peoples ideas that I have worded differently. I have started giving credit specifically to people in the newer sections, but I am having a few problems there. I am falling a little behind with new ideas on this board. That will be a challenge for the readers of this thread (I came to this decision last night).
The challenge:
I seem to have dug myself into a little bit of a hole of late. I have been saying that "I will add this" and "I will add that" in various threads, but I have not had the chance to add it at the time (the reason why I post the one liner "It will be added" is so that I can remember to add it
![](smile.gif)
). Because I haven''t added it, my memory has failed and I have still not added it... so?
I want people to report back here and tell me of any ideas that I said that I would add, but are not in the doc (the one that I uploaded yesterday). I have not done any modifications yet, so that is not an issue. If you find it, then tell me

. Thanx all.
