Title: Newbie Manual
Post by: Shaitan on Aug 09, 2012, 10:22 PM
The beginning text of the newbie manual in Newhaven is cut off. This isn't a Greatermud specific issue, it's that way in regular boards as well and from what I can tell the full text isn't in the database, at least not in my Nightmare export.

I realize it's kind of a moot point in that no one who plays Greatermud has probably had a need to read the newbie manual in 10 years, but if there's any interest in fixing this the full text is on mudcentral at http://www.mudcentral.com/help/NewHaven.html

Actually, yeah thats useful.  Thanks. 

While I don't really like the whole gaint wall of text as a means of l2p, it should be there and properly setup in the database.

No problem. Just something I noticed when I was importing items into the engine I'm working on. It's probably not very useful to new players, but it's great as a massive list of things I still need to implement.
