Writing Walkthroughs

[67422c9074286Shakura Jolithion]

Write now I'm in the process of writing a walkthrough for all of Cristine's mod's (starting with Ponterbee Station up through Polaris, then maybe Shocking Ruins). I've played through them all at least twice, and am working on the second deck of Ponterbee Station. I was wondering how I can make the large text-image titles many walkthroughs use, where to get a copyright or copyright info from, and where I should post/upload this when I'm done. I hope to have Ponterbee station's walkthrough done by the end of the week, if not Nightwalker, too.

I've gotten a walkthrough for decks 2, 3, and 4 written for Ponterbee station, including a separate list of locations for keycards and plot-important items. I've got some cyber-module counts going, but I don't know how accurate they are. So far, I've found 64 modules on Medsci, 58 on Hydroponics, and 88 on Operations. I also have a short installation instruction at the beginning.

Also, can anyone confirm whether Christine's mods work with SHTUP or not? I know they work with the Rebirth models, but my Mod Manager detects a conflict, and I'm playing through with Rebirth only at first.

Can you give an example of those large text-image titles?
And what's the copyright info for? I'm just nosy. Walkthroughs don't usually need that...
Anyway, it's a great idea to create these walkthroughs. It happens quite often that people ask here where to find a particular keycard in these levels. We would gladly host them here if you have no other plans. Christine also visits here regularly, she might help with the number of modules.
The FMs should all work with SHTUP, but should be activated after (or over) SHTUP.

Copyright info is just because most of the walkthroughs I've seen have them, so I thought I might need one... Although since it's for mods for a game and not a game itself, I doubt any pay sites would bother hosting it anyway.
I've gotten about half way through the walkthrough for Ponterbee station; completed it for Earth, MedSci, parts of Engineering prior to having an access card and all three codes, for all of operations, and part of recreations.

I'll definetly send the walkthrough here when I'm done, I'm also going to try and put it up on Gamefaqs, because I use them a lot and it'd be nice to buff up the SS2 section there.

As for the text-image things, I can't find a lot of good exmaples, but I remember reading that there's a program or something to create things like this rather easily:

Search the net for "ASCII generator".

Thanks, that's what it was called I should have the walkthrough for Ponterbee Station done in about 5 more hours, tops.

I've finished the walkthrough for Ponterbee Station. I'll start on UNN Nightwalker tomorrow. How/where can I upload the Ponterbee Station walkthrough?

I've begun the UNN Nightwalker walkthrough, this time being much briefer and having better item location lists for each deck, and an objectives section before each deck's walkthrough.

Just finished the UNN Nightwalker walkthrough. Just need to figure out how to upload these two now...

The best solution would be to write the walkthroughs into posts instead of using attachments.
Anyway, I made you an uploader so you can attach files if you prefer.

Sorry, been a while since I've been here... Yikes, a long while. I'll re-write the walkthroughs if I can't find them, my computer got wiped back in December. I'll definitely have them up by the end of May.

Well, I found the Ponterbee Station and UNN Walkthrough posted and downloadable here... I'm pretty sure a few months ago I hadn't been able to, but I've got that old one back now. I'll update it and repost, then work on a Polaris walkthrough. I'll probably post a bare-bones walkthrough somewhere, since the first time I wrote one for Ponterbee Station, it wound up being pretty bulky.

Tags: °SS2 °walkthrough °nightwalker °ponterbeeIn 2009 I downloaded this Walkthrough for Ponterbee Station and UNN_Nightwalker...somewhere. Can't recall where exactley. In addition, I haven't got a clue who did it.

[67422c9075343Kolya]

I'm tempted to assume it's a later version of Shakura Jolithion's walkthrough, due to the extensive ASCII art, which he specifically asked above how to create.
