id Software's Paul Jaquays updated
his
.plan with word that he's released the manual for Q3Radiant. Here's the
scoop:
The Q3Radiant Manual is Done!
... and it's available for download. The manual is big ... 163 formatted pages.
It's being released in two distinct "flavors." One is an MSWord version (created
in Word 2K on the PC, which appears to be very backward compatible with earlier
versions of MsWord) and a somewhat "raw" HTML version converted directly from
the Word document. The document contains a number of embedded graphic files
and organizational formatting, so ripping it down into a text document didn't
appear to be the way to go.
Each of the versions is zipped and run just under half a meg each. Unpacked,
you'll need 2 megs of drive space.

A couple things to note.
The document is targetted at version 192 of the Q3Radiant editor, which Robert
Duffy is still working on. Some of the things documented in the manual are not
in the released versions of the editor.
Second, if you want to mirror these files on your own site, go ahead. If you
want to make a more functional, robust HTML version (one that does not require
a full download to view), we (id) want to see it and approve it before you make
it available for public viewing. This document is covered by the same EULA that
covers our earlier tools releases.
Licensed developers of Quake 3 Engine product should contact id directly for
this manual.
