Is there anyone who knows where I can find the doc of these commands without open the program ?
Thanks
Phil
P.S : I have converted the complete documentation in PDF format from the Pmg source doc (chm format). If someone is interested I can upload it somewhere (do I need Pmg agreement ?).
I have made it to do a little book in A5 format (easy reading for me ).
Good idea. Youāll definitely need PMGās approval to upload! I am very much hoping that the next release will come with much updated manuals - though I have no idea when thatāll be. The key to manuals is real world examples - a few per effect - that would be great!!!
The docs arenāt complete, but you can also look into the āfunction_list.txtā in your temp\messiah directory where all installed functions (some of them are plugins or scripts) are listed with short descriptions.
This file is generated on each messiah start.
Iāve been trying to find a way to turn the CHM file into a PDF! Please tell us how, or if itās permissible please share the PDF! It would be much appreciated.
WOW! Book looks cool. Iād love for PMG to doa proper manual like that for its next release! Iām one of those few remaining individuals (?) that still prefers a good well written manual to videos for the main application functionsā¦Call me old fashion but thatās how I like it.
Spiral bound aswell, preferably wired!
Great job youāve done there - Iām jealous! Iām hoping that the docs will be really looked at for the next release then, with a little instruction from yourself (!) Iāll do the same.
Looks like youāve done a great job! Hey PMG - why not get wireframes (if heās interested) to do the manual!!
Iād kill for a hard copy of the manaul! Not to mention a newly written manual with more renderer stuff in it! Iām not a fan of reading long sections like that on the monitor since Iām easily distracted by other thing so having a hard copy of my manuals is key. Seriously though, how did you convert the help to pdf? I want to head to my copy center right now and have it printed out!
.CHM is Microsoft Compressed HTML. See this article for more info:
There is also an example at the bottom on how you can extract the original HTML files, images etc. - besides that, there are several apps available which can do this also.
Microsoft Help Workshop is the free tool I used to create the docs for AoN: Studioā¦
After extraction, you have a bunch of webpages in html, which you can then convert to pdf by using tools like GoLive, Word etc.
But honestly I canāt see why pmG should have any problems with Wireframes making his PDF available to interested parties. He doesnāt claim he wrote them and he neither is selling them (although a print on demand version would be a good idea ).
Since pmG wasnāt able to provide something like this for the last 6 years although the demand was always there, I canāt see any bad thing in users doing it on their own. Helping users to better use messiah is a good thing
I agree Thomas, I just wish theyād update the docs so that when theyāre printed out and made all niceā theyāre also complete! I know, Iāll get mine all ready and printed and then theyāll release the new docs :shrug: (well I hope anyway).
Been soooo quiet from PMG again :sad: Any comment on if there are going to be new docs would be welcomeā¦
well, when choosing a software called āmessiahā, you are bound to be prepared for endless hoping and waiting (or at least several thousand years ), so better get used to it
I personally am dead tired of it, so everything I CAN improve I do on my own. :arteest:
And for everything else I use a different software.
And with each of pmGs dead silent phases, the āeverything elseā part is growing.
