I think it would be nice if a few or alot of the scritptors could get together and maybe make a PDF book for ppl to down load to look at or maybe even print up have every thing in one place then have update books for the future . So some of us can sit down look at it or Maybe even print it up so we can have a book on hand to help when we are doing thins .
What do you all think
i would pay at least 20-50 L$ of a book if it was out there

Just asking if any of you agree or if the scriptors/Desigers would even consider doing this

Just a thought Think About it
:D

Zephria,

There is a help file created by Jake Cellardoor that can be downloaded for use. It only deals with LSL. It is not in the forums anymore, but I can email it to you no prob. Just IM me with your email address=)

Also you can stop by Amaterasu, and I have created an IN-WORLD version of his help file called "Higbee's LSL Bible". It is big and gray you can't miss it hehe. Only 5L$!

Lastly, the most used source for scripting is the Wiki.

If this still isn't enough for you, then I recommend taking some scripting classes from The University (mine suck by comparison lol). Good luck!

Actually, Higbee, the help file is available on the scripting forum:

/54/30/16885/1.html

Although I don't think anyone offers the information in a format optimized for printing as a book. Alas.

I just wanted to say that if you are running Windows XP, you can indeed print the chm file as a continuous file via one of the print options.

I have Adobe InDesign 2 on my home computer. I can format it for print when I get home. Just need the printer's margins and paper size.

I guess when I think of "optimized for print," I think of a table of contents -- and ideally an index -- that give page numbers. Converting the various links in the .CHM or wiki into page numbers is the time-consuming part.
