Online Manual Rewritten
- Posted on March 22nd, 2004 - 01:09 by Demorian

It is PaleStar's pleasure to announce that DarkSpace's Online Manual is now compatible with version 1.481!

It took longer than expected, but the task is complete and it is our sincerest hope that the new Manual will fill the helpful shoes that the previous version could not. We are grateful for everyone's understanding.

The new Manual is formatted so that new players can learn as they read without having to skip around, and also so that seasoned veterans can easily find the section they need to read up on. It was also an objective to be more complete than the previous incarnation was. We would appreciate feedback as we go into the proofreading stages.

We would like to ask one more time for everyone's patience over the next few days as we fill in the final holes and make this new work as complete as possible for everyone's enjoyment. Thanks!
