<div class="IPBDescription">along with additions for the newbies</div> I've noticed that the manual is outdated now with 2.0 out, and even before it was not really a great help for the newbies. I find now that it is quite neglected and hard to navigate as well. Are there plans for updating it anytime soon?

    I am looking to write a new one for the bata and I have a few people helping me make it. It will have newbie to mid level help. Im about 40% done with it and should have it done in about 2 weeks. Im writing about 3 pages for each alien life form and about 5 pages so far on comming ( most of it is pics )

    Yeah, the manual's awful. It was out of date in 1.04, never mind 2.0.

    What we <i>really</i> need is a Hazard Course.

    Maybe we can have Flayra set it as the new manual if it is good enough?

    I believe I can help out with your project, Taco. I've replied to your pm.

    As for the hazzard course.. hmm.. there is no hazzard course that will prepare you entirely for NS <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Making a good one would take a lot of time, which is why I think it doesn't exist. It isn't considered that important.

    Yes, we newbies need better documentation. I have no problem learning things while playing, but there are some things that would be nice to look up away from the PC. Tech upgrades, Tech Trees, the strengths/weaknesses of weapons/aliens vs. other weapons/aliens.

    Plus the html guide doesn't come with scroll buttons!

    i up this thread as i notice there is no new manual yet. It is necessary now anyway as many abilities for aliens remains difficult to understand and as it's quite impossible to ask for an in game advice to other players. DEVOUR / ...

    ?

    Why? I'd tell you if you asked me.

    I am making a tech tree btw, and it will be posted (along with manuals) on my website. The website is not as good as the manuals, don't worry.

    Word format only, HTML not started yet. Mind you, it's not as if the conversions all that difficult. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thank you in advance for your trouble from all the newbies. In case they forget to say it themselves because we do and will appreciate it.

    IMO, a separately downloadable hazard cousre would be fine with metamod.

    Agreed.

    However, a course for all the alien classes, (covering all weapons, and possilby comming too) would be huge. One mean project.

    Well worth it though. Would save a lot of questions / guide postings in the forums.
