PDE Manual clone of WAW Manual?

[dgold07]

It appears that the downloaded and installed PDE manual contains no new information concerning the PDE game. It seems to be the same as the old WAW manual except for replacing the title WAW with PDE throughout.

Where is the real PDE manual listing the changes and additions to the game engine?

Thank.

Hmm, that's news to me. Either you're the first to notice, or you're looking in the wrong place

Anyway, you can look up the full manual online here:

dgold07,

You are correct that the manuals are very similar and this is of course intentional as both expansions build off of Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and need to highlight the changes from the original release. For example, not everyone that buys PDE will necessarily own WaW etc.

Both expansions have a similar base of new functionality which is covered in the manual release except that PDE also includes some information on DECISION events under the SCRIPT category.

Beyond this, there are additional notes for campaign modders that can be found in the Editor Help File as well as the script Templates themselves which cover LINKING and GLOBAL VARIABLES.

Hope this helps,

Hubert
