Uber Tut

hey most of the questions here are answered in the Uber Tutorial. i dont remember the link for it but if someone could link it here and maybe make this post sticky a lot of the posts here could be less repetative and more in depth.

The Ãœber Tutorial is available here

Its creator(s) deserve praise for putting it together and adding lots of pictures. However, I would like to point out a few shortcomings of this document. (Yes, I have read through it all.)

1. It's huge. At more than 10 MB it takes a while to download. An idea would be to split it into chapters for separate downloading.
2. It isn't indexed, and doesn't have a table of contents. This makes it time consuming to search for the particular solution you're looking for.
3. Many of OFP's more "interesting" features are explained with: *no imformation regarding both functions due to lack of knowledge and importance!* They are by no means lacking in importance in my opinion.
4. Spelling! The author could at least have run it through a spell-checker.
5. Lengthy lists could have been put in separate documents. Here I refer to, for example, the list of objects in the game with an image of each (pp. 117-146) - a list that would be faster referenced in a document of its own. Another list that deserves a document of its own is the "OFP campaign voices list" (pp. 169-213).
6. Unfortunately, some topics give incomplete details (e.g. MP respawn pp. 36) or are duplicated, giving conflicting answers.
7. The last portion of the manual (pp. 216-302) is the contents of OFPEC's old EdDepot.

When the new EdDepot is up-and-running, questions posted here will (in most cases) eventually find their way to it.
