Hail Jarulf,
now I don't wanna be the only nay-sayer here, but I'm torn if I'd like a new version of your guide.
Let me explain before I get flamed by all of you DI lovers...:ph34r:
I consider DI still the greatest game I've ever played, and your resource is quite frankly the most comprehensive manual to a game to date. Therefore it is most appreciated, if not loved.
But...
A long time ago I undertook the attempt to translate version 1.62 into German (you may still have my mails/pms). While I did get to page 50 or so (I would have to check to know for sure), it all came to a halt when I encountered some stress in Real Life quite a while ago.
Since then, I haven't found the motivation to get back to my translation and finish it, partly due to having started DII again :blush:and due to occasionally feeling the need to hone my Q3A skills :whistling:.
In addition, real life hasn't returned to the relaxed state that it was in before...
What I'm trying to say is: If I were to continue my translation after you released an update, I'd have to do everything over again!
Unless, of course, you (or Pete) included a list of changes made, and there really were no undocumented changes, so that I wouldn't have to alter much.
So I'm actually all for it if such a change log is included. If not, I think I will never finish my translation (and I do plan to return to the table sometime. No, really!) ...
I suspect that there are no major changes, though? Some smaller errors I'm indeed aware of, I think.
Also please disregard my small objection if the changes only apply to pages >= 50. :)
Finally, I know that it is great that you still have some time and love for this project, but this is a democracy, no? So this is my humble point of view.
Greetings, Fragbait
