As for the thick PDF manual I dont think the changelog would be appropriate as its evolving all the time, it would be merely a text file in the docs directory. Installation and troubleshooting are good ones, so many people have problems using MOD dirs and so on. library section, yeah we could dupe the ingame libraries in there with pictures, also this would be somehow a history lesson as I really want VTE to educate people or kind of keeping the Vietnam War memory alive. So we definitely are going to need some sort of overview of the war and then perhaps descriptions of the most important battles etc. I actually have few good docs about such battles.I have also started to work on the Readme PDF. So far I have an Installation, Troubleshooting, Changelog, and Information Library sections. Are there any sections that you would like me to add or possibly remove (probably the Troubleshooting one could go)? Maybe a history of the VTE project?
Also: If you want a history of the VTE project I am going to need a basic synopsis of it I wasnt around during the OFP days so I have no Idea about that.
The ingame images for the manual are tricky one at least in the short term as the content are to be change maybe even dramatically in the future as we improve models and textures. It would look dorky to have manual with pictures of ugly models in it.
Also some mission editing stuff regarding VTE would be good to have. No beginner stuff or tutorials, but specific VTE scripts and how to use default NVA/VC and South Vietnam flags etc.
