I was going through the AL once again, and I was wishing there was some version of it that would be less painful to read, especially for "bulk-reading" like most newcomers [should] do. In particular, its presentation in the interface is adapted for reading newly added fragments, but I would have liked a version where all fragments would be grouped by chapter, which was already proposed long ago here but was never done (at least not that I could find on the forum ...). So I made it:

Attached File  AL.pdf   257.4K   72 downloads

I hope altering the order of events is not a sacrilege ...

It is still quite a raw result. There are probably some bugs that appeared during the conversion, and many possible improvements to do. I am open to all suggestions! If you find it useful, I may spend a bit more time to try to make it look better, for instance with a more MD-biased look.

If you appreciate it, I intend to do a similar thing for the announcements, although this one still grows. Hopefully the Adventure Log too will grow again some day ...?


Edit: uploaded a new version (changed the font + various minor improvements)

The announements will be finalized into a more readable format for highlighting of specific ones of intrest once i have finished it. Currently i am in the stage of catagorizing and commenting them. Once that has done i can prepare the interface to allow for easier searching ect.

excellent, always wanted to have it in this format, somehow never engaged in such a battle x)
Thank you!
"You blind, you deaf, you selfish people, making noise, without order and sense, without why and because, for whom and how, without the question that maybe would dry out the prideful smile on the face without tears, on the face that never turned the cheek.

A carving, coffin, a worm, and face, and hair, and blood.

You silent players of your ritual dance, happy in trance in a world that exists only in heads of people without scrupuls, of the people without mercy, people without memory, you who don't know the showers of sound, colors and smells. You witless people. "

translation of a song called "Worm" (Crv), by Milan Mladenovic and Mitar Subotic

Try here; http://md-archives.c...enture-log.html

I know md-archives hasn't been used in a while (massive shame, it's a nice place), but it does still exist - have people really forgotten about it?

Thanks Grido, I never realized it was in the archives as well. I wish I saw it sooner.

That said, it does not seem to be finished, does it? About a half is missing.

It is not finished. I had the same reaction as you when i started and regretted not to see that work finished. Maybe an archivist could take over your work and update the mda files?

Yeah, no it's not finished.

Can't remember how straight forward it is, but you could set up an account, then upload the bits? Find an active admin on there first though, can't remember who they are XD will try and find out

After checking it recently i cannot approve any new accounts properly. I need to talk to Mur regarding this and hope to resolve the situation in the coming weeks.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, and if you didnt guess im one of the admins on it :P

Awiiya is also one, But i imagine he has a similar problem to me after looking at the setup.
