[dulux-oz]

Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the 7^th of my New (v3.0.2) Tutorials Videos should be up by 16:30 GMT today (Saturday the 1st of March, 2013) on my YouTube Channel (link in my Sig).

And you were very lucky to get it - Dragonfall, the new expansion for Shadowrun Returns was released this week, and it took a WHOLE lot of willpower (DC 30+ Will Save) for me to get the Video done instead of playing my new game - Luuuvvvvv that Shadowrun!

Anyway, Enjoy!

Great video, Dulux! Great job again.

Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the 8^th of my New (v3.0.2) Tutorials Videos is up (well, based on past experience and what the YouTube Website is telling me: it will be up by approx. 14:00 UTC, today) on my YouTube Channel (link in my Sig).

Edit: Note that the this is Video 01-A-06, the eighth Video of the current Series that I've produced.

As always, feedback is appreciated

Enjoy!

As of this post, there is no A-08. However, I did note that you had done B-01 and B-02, and I watched those. Well done. A couple of recommendations:
1) On A-06, you talk about a lot of targeting options, but you don't show on the video how they will appear when you use those options. Recommend you show the screen appearance as you discuss each option.
2) On the first post, recommend you keep a running status of each video. That way, if we miss an update, we can go here any time to see if you've updated a particular video.

JPG, these videos should be on the downloads page. They are the best intro videos yet, in my opinion, and they are the most up-to-date.

As of this post, there is no A-08.

That's because I haven't done 01-A-08 yet (nor 01-A-07) - I said that the 8th of my Videos was up, not that Player Video 8 was up: 01-A-01 to 01-A-06 & 01-B-01 to 01-B-02 make 8 videos. The video that went up yesterday was 01-A-06.

1) On A-06, you talk about a lot of targeting options, but you don't show on the video how they will appear when you use those options. Recommend you show the screen appearance as you discuss each option.

Patience, patience - we'll cover all that (again) when we look at the Combat Tracker and the corresponding "B" videos as well.

2) On the first post, recommend you keep a running status of each video. That way, if we miss an update, we can go here any time to see if you've updated a particular video.

I think I know what you're getting at, but I'm not sure how useful it wold be (now). There is only one more of the v2.9.x videos to replace (A-07 - which will probably be the new 01-A-08) and I won't be updating any individual Videos for a long, long time (probably not until FG 4, and maybe not even then, depending upon the extent of the differences). Oh yes, I'll be doing one or more "update videos", but they'll be more like an appendix to the current series or like what Encyclopaedia Britannica does with their "Year Book" updates. I almost took that approach this time in providing "update videos" to supplement the v2.9.x videos, but, as I said/implied in Video 01-A-01, the differences were so significant from FG2.9 to FG3.0 that the amount of work to do one or more "update videos" made it worthwhile to completely re-do the lot - hence the new structure and the new naming convention.

As far as keeping up-to-date and/or missing a video, you could always subscribe to the YouTube Channel.

Anyway, glad you like them.

Cheers

These videos are great! I just discovered this site and am excited to join the community and jump in and play. But, I am also anxious that I won't know all the mechanics of the system. Well, Dulux Oz's videos have really helped. I have gone through the first six and learned a LOT! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Wow! Thanks! You managed to turn a "down" day into an "up" day for me with your post.

I'm glad you liked them and that you found them useful - that was the aim, of course, but it's nice to know that they are (and hence I am) appreciated (yes, I'm a sucker for flattery - a bit like a Purple Dragon, I suppose)

As a general couple of points: you might like to subscribe to the YouTube Channel to make sure you don't miss any new ones I post. You may also like to give people "reputation" on this forum/board - not just me (not even me), but anyone you think deserves a "well done" or a "this person is worth paying attention to because..." - you can do this by clicking on the six-pointed star to the right of the "Blog this Post" link at the bottom-left of each person's post.

Anyway, welcome to the FG Community; we're a friendly bunch who are always willing to answer any questions asked - so don't be afraid to ask, because the only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked. Keep an eye out for posts by Zeus, Trenloe, damned, Nickademus, JohnD and Blacky: they always have something... "interesting" to say. And, of course, the esteemed owners and programmers at SmiteWorks, Moon-Wizard and ddavidson!

See ya round
