ReadMe for Build 13

We will need a ReadMe file to accompany the final Build 13 release. It does not need to contain a complete walkthrough on the modpack. It just needs to contain an introduction about the modpack and perhaps a small piece of text with examples of what was added/changed/improved. It also needs to point users to this site for more information. And, if possible, it should contain a list of all modders who have worked on this release. Although I must admit that even I don't remember everyone who worked on this. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />

Could anybody make such a file? It shouldn't be that much work, because it doesn't need to be a big document. Just a small explaining ReadMe file. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

If you want to help, please make the file and post it below. Then people could comment on it. I would like to have this done by tomorrow or somewhere during next week at the latest. We need this file when Build 13 is to be released.
 
Apparently nobody does want to take on this simple and small task. Shame. Then I need to do it myself and I already have so much to do to finish Build 13. ARGH! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Woops. I noticed the topic title was wrong. Corrected now.

I ask again: Is there ANYBODY who could work on a ReadMe for Build 13? We will really need one and I can't do everything myself. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

I would do that, but I can't tell exactly when it'll be ready - I'm trying to make as many mods as I can and every such task is slowing my work down.

@Pieter: BTW, I think I managed fix issues you mentioned yesterday. If all goes good during tests I'll upload fixes on ftp on today evening.

I could help on this task, how to I find out what all the new features are that were added into Build 13? Since I'm no modder, it wouldn't be taking time away from the people who are important to the build.
 
I can do that, should I add it on to the Build 12 readme or only make one that is for new things on Build 13?
 
I will start on it today, I will however need to know what all was added, I looked in the buildinfo, and most of that is from Build 12, I will scour the forum for additions that people put in, but I don't want to forget anything. Please email me at thethreefates79@yahoo.com for additional info to be put into the readme.
 
Check ALL files from the buildinfo folder, check the feature list on my site and use your own experience from playing the game. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. I'll try to answer as good as I can.

Thanks for taking this up! We really need a new proper manual/ReadMe for Build 13.

BTW: If you could start your work with just making a small ReadMe mentioning some of the more major mods, that'd be great. I want to have some ReadMe file to accompany Build 13. The full manual can wait until Build 13 is released.
 
Sounds good, I will try to get something thrown together today for a temporary one, and then work on a more exhaustive one for release of the Build 13.
 
EXCELLENT! Thanks a lot! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Here's what I did till now. I'm sorry if I missed someone. Hope it helps.

PS. Updated - removed spelling errors.
 
Looks fine ... well, except line 19 'mudpack' in stead of modpack. But that's a minor problem...

I've added everything I can think of on to pirate_kk's readme. Can everyone take a look at it and see what mod's, contributors, additions, etc I may have inadvertantly left off? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: file reposted below.
 
4.1 Ships missing:

War Galleon (Petros), Light Frigate 2 (Petros), Pirate Corvette (Petros), Ship of the Line (Petros), Lugger CT2 (Catalina the Pirate), Lugger CT3 (Catalina the Pirate)

edit: Lugger VML (Jack Davidson)

4.5 Characters missing

Many, many new characters ... I'll start on that list later.
 
I added the missing ships, I will go through the gm files and try to figure out the new characters. Thanks Petros!

Should I list out every character that was added? That is a huge list, and I am not sure who made most of them.
 
There are so many.
I added 15 characters myself, not counting the 11 towngirl portraits.
Perhaps it might be better to put it all in one place and just say ...


"Many new characters/skins added by:

Alan Smithee, Catalina the Pirate, Daede, High Seas Lass, Inez Dias, Nathan Kell, Petros, Sir Christopher Mings ...."


Just make sure everyone is listed. I'm sure I didn't list all.
