Default Requesting assistance: Technical Manual Writers

Hail, Norrathians!

In an ongoing attempt to streamline ease of use in the installation of Project 1999 and the Titanium client, I am putting out the call for anyone with experience writing technical manuals, or guides in general to aid me in this goal.

What I need is a simple, clear, and easy to follow guide on how to install the Titanium client, start to finish, from an ISO. It can't contain any links to pirated software or how to obtain said software, but should include the steps on how to set up a virtual drive and install from that drive. Links to valid purchasable tools such as Daemon Tools or Magic ISO are ok. If anyone knows of a freeware or shareware program that can load ISO's, that should be included.

This guide does not need to include the actual set up of P99 (ie, unzipping files, setting up eqemu or LS accounts, etc). It should be written in an easy to read format (think paragraphs, headers, etc) and in forum code.

The key to this guide will be ease of use. Try to keep in mind users who are very inexperienced with computers.

I have been thinking about writing this myself, but I've done a ton of P99 related writing lately and I was hoping it could be outsourced. If you are interested in doing this, it would help your community and be viewed by thousands of new people attempting to join the server.

Please PM your submissions to me in a private message. The forum code will be retained in the message, and I can edit it and post it with the code. If your submission is used, you will of course be credited with your work in the post. Thanks in advance to everyone who tries to do this!

Offer a Guise for the guide and I'm sure it will be done within 24 hours.

I'd do a lot more for a guise than write an instructional manual

So much better than Daemon tools.

The reward should be innate in helping your fellow community members and increasing the population by aiding new players in getting set up.

Also, staff notices these kinds of contributions to the community, so there's that.

Great news to hear!

Please keep in mind that the single biggest obstacle to doubling the playerbase or even tripling, is the fact that it is relatively difficult and time consuming to get into the game an playing.

Please remember what deru said about making it Total fucking idiot proof and laid out in specific detail every step.

As a fellow computer retard, this will be hugely beneficial for me and countless other players who view getting into P99 as a headache.
