| === Notes on the Manual's structure ===
| | The comment from [[User:Svipur|Svipur]] has been moved to [[Talk:User_Manual/TO_DO]]. |
| | |
| That is my intention exactly - to separate 'what is' from 'how to', the two main questions a manual is supposed to provide answers to (I believe). So here's how I imagine the Manual's structure to be:
| |
| | |
| 1. Introduction
| |
| | |
| 2. Quick Start ''(this may look like a platform-independent tutorial of the whole process, up to launching a game - probably, using a freeware game as an example, so that a user might try it out himself. I agree with the suggested subsections (1.Installing ScummVM; 2. Installing a game...), those would be linked to the corresponding detailed sections of the Manual)''
| |
| | |
| 3. ScummVM Interface
| |
| 3.1 Main Window
| |
| 3.2 Options
| |
| 3.3 Game settings
| |
| 3.4 In-game menu ''(with a list of games that keep to their own menus)''
| |
| | |
| 4. Using ScummVM
| |
| 4.1 Getting and installing ScummVM ''(on all platforms)''
| |
| 4.2 Setting up ScummVM ''(describing the settings and command-line parameters)''
| |
| 4.3 Installing games for use with ScummVM ''(covering multi-CD games, additional files like kyra.dat, and extracting/converting audio tracks)''
| |
| 4.4 Adding and Running a game in ScummVM ''(and creating batch files)''
| |
| 4.5 Setting up a game in ScummVM ''(adjusting per-game settings, describing why 3x scaler makes 640x480 games run in a smaller window than oldies...)
| |
| 4.6 Removing a game from ScummVM
| |
| 4.7 Uninstalling ScummVM ''- ? Why would they even think about that?!''
| |
| | |
| 5. Getting help
| |
| 5.1 FAQ ''- ? Would threads like these:
| |
| 'Why isn't my Torin's Passage detected by ScummVM?' - 'It is probably not supported by now. See compatibility page here (link).'
| |
| qualify as 'frequently asked'? Or 'There is no sound'? 'My game crashes'?''
| |
| 5.2 Contacts
| |
| | |
| 6. Appendix
