I have translated the help and the manual files in 2 pdf files (for 2.7). Is there anybody interested on them ? If there is a lot of peaople, then indicate me a place on the internet where I can put them to be downloaded by anyone (bigbluecup will be a good place...)

In what languages did you translated them to?

Sorry-translation is not the best expresion. I make them pdf. it is in english... sorry.

I'm not quite sure if it's of interest to many, as there're already a HTML version which all people should be able to browse.

The html version is for 2.7 or for 2.71 ? If it is for 2.71, can anybody give me a shortcut for it ?

It's for v2.70 only: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/acres.shtml ("AGS Manual as single file")

Apart from that, people had once made also M$ Word format (not to mention those translated to other languages), etc. for the manual, the problem is, people who maintain these goodies may not be able to provide updates as frequent as AGS releases, also, partly due to lack of interest in having the manual in different formats, because:

The original .chm version is easy enough to navigate (with categories, search features and such), and even if people won't be able to use the original manual (Computers without IE for example) they can use Strazer's handy offline HTML package (it's V2.7 though) and, last but not least, there's also an online version which is sort of hidden at the moment, but it's up-to-date I think.

Edit: Thanks SSH, link fixed now.

Yeah, it was a bitch to convert it in the first place and keep all links working so I certainly won't do an update. And I agree the chm is easy enough to navigate.

Maybe for the people who need something that can more easily be printed CJ can implement something for the online version that presents everything on a single page.

Gilbert your link to the online manual is broken, unfortuantely. You want: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/
