Will do, I edited the subject with a date tag to make it easier to see when you revised the DD.

Before I read it, I have a few problems.

1) We have yet to actually sort out the commenting objective and discuss changes from it.
2) We now have 2 version of the DD in the middle of an objective. I haven't finished commenting yet, do I continue on the old one or this?
3) Please can you highlight what exactly has changed? Not within the actual text, but a simple list of the sections you've updated.

Yes, Hellfire. As Arathron said in the other thread nothing happened between the last time you were around and today.

Here's a PDF version of the design document. (I prefer reading with Acrobat over reading with Winword)

/me wonders what, exactly, is wrong with OpenDocument.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

And Hellfire didn't actually say he doesn't like Word documents because of <insert reason here>. But anyway: nice progress you're making Hellfire. I wish I could encourage you more then by posting 'good job' etc but I'm too dumb to respond in detail on what you do. I hope my 'shallow comments' are enough though.

Maybe my OS is broken, but every time I open a PDF, Acrobat Reader locks Firefox for nearly a minute while loading and then stays resident until I close Firefox.
OO.o has neither of these problems.

Obviously, I'm taking this to a bit of an extreme there, but if we should not use OpenDocument because PDF is more common, then maybe we should not play TEmpire because TTDPatch and OpenTTD are more common.
</troll>

(Not to diminish the work you are doing, Hellfire, but I do not consider PDF to be an alternative to MSWord documents. Then again, as Hyronymus pointed out, you didn't explain what you don't like about MSWord, and maybe the reason you want PDF is because it is read-only, in which case OpenDocument really isn't an improvement.)

I had that lock-up thing in FF too, DaleStan but somehow I fixed itself. I'm not a big fan of PDF either but it's nice to be able to create something people can't easily copy/edit and distribute under your name.

I posted the PDF because I needed the information in the design document while writing code. (I'm programming right now, not writing documents. ;) )

Because I work on different machines, with different operating systems (WinXP vs. Gentoo Linux), PDF is more convenient than Word or OpenDocument. As a small service to the readers of this forum, I posted the PDF I made here. (Which also gives me a place to download it :twisted: )

It's not platform depend I like it to, but I like plain Text files even more :wink: Actually I have written my Design Doc in XHTML :wink: This means it supports hyperlinks...

As for the lock-up thing, btw, Acrobat sometimes displays a licence agreement or update window behind the Firefox window, which you can't get at without hiding Firefox somehow. However, Acrobat doesn't return execution to Firefox until you've clicked the window...

I have heard of this from somewhere, don't recall where though. It is a Windows-only PDF reader but it is a little over 1MB and does NOT need to be installed. It opens PDF files in a snap, almost literally.
