Here are PDFs of the Beta 7 manual, in normal and booklet format. Per the previous posting, the normal format is centered left/right (but the page numbers still toggle left/right). As before, I tweaked the manual.txt to Markdown format, used pandoc to convert to PDF, and generated the booklets with Cheap Impostor, but pshacks would also work.

General Discussion / Cogmind manual in PDF (and booklet) form

« on: May 13, 2018, 06:15:38 PM »

I've converted the Cogmind manual into both PDF and PDF booklet forms, for folks (like me) who like to have a paper manual alongside my roguelike games.

The PDF is straightforward, but the booklet needs to be printed duplex, with "short-edge binding" to be ready to staple in the middle and become a manual.

Enjoy!

(ps: I used pandoc to do the conversion, with only minimal changes to manual.txt)

I tried Cogmind on Crossover on my other MacOS machine, which is a Hackintosh tower, and I'm seeing perfect behavior, with no white flashes or other issues, so the one problem I'm seeing is machine-specific. Oddly, I tried manually setting both the integrated and discrete GPUs, and got the white flashing behavior with both settings. Off to research more possibilities.

I just now tried the WineBottler approach. Very slick! Unfortunately, I see the following misbehaviors on my machine: 1) still getting the fairly frequent full-screen white flashes. 2) the F1 key (for bringing up the menu) doesn't work. I saw this latter behavior when I tried to run Cogmind.exe inside of a Windows XP bottle in Crossover. For some reason, I'm only getting the Fn keys to work in Windows 7 or Windows 8 Wine environments (on Crossover).

Maybe both of these issues are local to my machine - I'll try it on my home machine this weekend. I'm on latest Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Pro.

I've tried it with Crossover (a commercial Wine), and the first launch worked great for me. My subsequent runs have a serious problem with frequent full-screen white flashes. I haven't tracked the problem down yet.
