Finally done with the first part of my summer project!
A few weeks back, I decided that it could be a good community resource to have the VRC and VIQRC Game Manual available as web pages. In theory, it’ll allow for faster navigation and easier searchability than the PDF versions.
(It should be noted that just like any other available resources, in the case of any discrepancies, the official PDF manual will always take precedence. )
I’m always open to feedback, so let me know if you find anything that looks broken, missing (which is very possible, as there’s been 3 game manual updates since I first exported everything into HTML) or other ways to improve this page! I’ll post an update to this thread when the VIQRC manual page is ready.
This looks really nice!
I am quite curious on the development of this. Is it an automated audit of the pdf, by reading the pdf source code? Or is it done by manually copying and pasting contents to each component?
Both the VRC and VIQRC game manuals are created in Adobe InDesign, which can then export into a bunch of different formats (PDF, HTML, XML, etc.)
I simply got an exported copy of the manual in HTML, cleaned up all the excess junk that InDesign includes with it, then made it look prettier. (Here’s a screenshot of the IQ page that I’m currently working on, in the “before” state)
