Yo, I with the help of some guys made up a compiled FAQ to use with HM, I already posted this at TEK Hacks, but since not everyone goes there, I decided to post it here as well. The FAQ consists of 20 parts, each detailling everything (or almost) from A to Z... So even if you're a noob you might do something good too. Totallizing a total of 98 pages, each section has it's appropriate pictures...(A bunch of pictures) In case you're wondering the file is in PDF Format (Adobe Acrobat File) and is zipped (Winzip), so you will need both for the extraction/viewing. The files are hosted on geocities, so if the download links doesn't work, try again at a later time. Here are the links (Right-Click, save as...):

Already seen it. Great faq, but I know almost all of that already. Too bad I had to learn everything on my own before, this would have been useful.

Omega, I was wondering if you could contribute to the FAQ in any way, as you seem to know more then you look like..

Kirby, yes HM comes with a help manual, but this one contains further explainations and other stuff not quite detailed in the original help manual. Plus everything got pictures.. So easy that is to understand.

Hyrule Magic's Help file is kinda crappy and not-so-informative

"you seem to know more then you look like"

Lol, im not sure how to take that...

Orochimaru,
I would be more than happy to contribute something to the faq. Uve done a thorough job on almost all the sections. Im gonna have a more detailed look at it on thurday, cause thats when my exams end. I also have an idea that would make it much easier for newbs to get into hacking. I want to make a small step-by-step tutorial which basically walks the user through making a tiny demo of their own. It would only be like 1 overworld screen, and a couple dungeon rooms with a boss. I think that this would be a great addition to ur already great faq.

Later.

BTW, just so u know, i have created a hack already (which can be found in this forum), and am working on LOZ: Dark Prophecy, so i do know how to use HM.

I too found the Hyrule Magic Help Documentation badly detailed, described etc.

Still, not as bad as the Windows Help & Support

The HM help file is quite bad, but I found it clear enough to get me started. I think that it would confuse many people right off the start though. I had to learn a ton of stuff by Trial and Error.

Yeah, so did I, and that often resulted in fucking up my ROM

Which is why backups are fun....

Im sure most of us screwed up thousands of roms through trial and error...

Oh man, by the time I finished my first hack, i had hundreds of roms on my HD, half of which were unusable.

I would have gone on a murdering rampage had I not kept backups on a regular basis. Man...

Regardless of all its problems, HM is a wonderful program. Were lucky to have one this good.

As I recall, back some time ago, I tried to download it but the page couldn't be found.. that was because of the format of ur rom.. it think you didn't made an ips file.. wasn't it ? so I couldn't tried it... I too have been working on a Z3 hack for a long time... but thus I won't tease you guys yet.. All of my light word/dark world are revamped already (and 100% re-done, nothing is like the original rom).. almost finish with the monologue and palettes... and finished the first dungeon... I'm not for demos, so even if it takes a year to finish, I'll take it.. when I'll release it, you'll know.. until then... I shall work with everythink I got.

No, i made it in ISP format and all. I think that my server was just crap. Its down now for some reason, and I looked around, but couldnt find a good server that I an use immediatly cause my stupid browser is f'ed to hell. If you would like it, send me ur e-mail, and ill just attach it, or u could wait till I get it onto a server.

Orochimaru, I ask you the same question...


Simple question, simple answer... because I have no html skills.. if you want to convert it to html, I'll send you the original *.doc (MSWord) file, so you could so it.. and that's it
