Popular Post Guillak Posted October 30, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) I was going through the AL once again, and I was wishing there was some version of it that would be less painful to read, especially for "bulk-reading" like most newcomers [should] do. In particular, its presentation in the interface is adapted for reading newly added fragments, but I would have liked a version where all fragments would be grouped by chapter, which was already proposed long ago [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/1439-side-story-adventure-log/page__view__findpost__p__7979"]here[/url] but was never done (at least not that I could find on the forum ...). So I made it: [attachment=3302:AL.pdf] I hope altering the order of events is not a sacrilege ... It is still quite a raw result. There are probably some bugs that appeared during the conversion, and many possible improvements to do. I am open to all suggestions! If you find it useful, I may spend a bit more time to try to make it look better, for instance with a more MD-biased look. If you appreciate it, I intend to do a similar thing for the announcements, although this one still grows. [size=2]Hopefully the Adventure Log too will grow again some day ...?[/size] Edit: uploaded a new version (changed the font + various minor improvements) Edited November 5, 2011 by Guillak Nimrodel, VonUngernSternberg, Prince Marvolo and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently i am in the stage of catagorizing and commenting them. Once that has done i can prepare the interface to allow for easier searching ect.

Grido Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Try here; http://md-archives.com/categories/archives-of-legends/official-documents/adventure-log.html I know md-archives hasn't been used in a while (massive shame, it's a nice place), but it does still exist - have people really forgotten about it?

Guillak Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks Grido, I never realized it was in the archives as well. I wish I saw it sooner. That said, it does not seem to be finished, does it? About a half is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passant the Weak Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 It is not finished. I had the same reaction as you when i started and regretted not to see that work finished. Maybe an archivist could take over your work and update the mda files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah, no it's not finished. Can't remember how straight forward it is, but you could set up an account, then upload the bits? Find an active admin on there first though, can't remember who they are XD will try and find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted October 30, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) After checking it recently i cannot approve any new accounts properly. I need to talk to Mur regarding this and hope to resolve the situation in the coming weeks. EDIT: Oh yeah, and if you didnt guess im one of the admins on it Awiiya is also one, But i imagine he has a similar problem to me after looking at the setup.

No one Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 @Guillak : great recap , thank you. You should note that some AL are more then meets the eye. Take 2008-09-26 out of context and see what happened then (Page 265 - 270). Indeed, there are lots of stories within those stories & good memories. Thank you G. lashtal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rophs Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Is anyone going to provide an updated version when A debt repaid comes to an end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted November 12, 2013 Root Admin Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 We can create PDF's automatically when its updated if he shares the latex source, or i can do it myself. Its just some macros, anyone could do it if they want to. I can see that the server has some form of tex distro if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rophs Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Does anyone have a mirror of the pdf posted ITT? After some searching I found this but much to my chagrin the attachment seems to be buggered. Pipstickz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rophs Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I was trying to read the AL but ended up getting put into idle mode partway through. Some sort of better interface to read AL is definitely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin Chewett Posted May 15, 2018 Root Admin Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I can make a link like the announcements page if people like to read it like that? Pipstickz, Ivorak, Mallos and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted May 20, 2018 Root Admin Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Two plus votes, Im assuming thats a yes? Pipstickz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipstickz Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Yes! That way I won't go idle while reading it! That's what deterred me the first time(s) I tried and I just never bothered to try again...it's been a fun and interesting challenge putting the story together based on folks saying things like I (or others when I eavesdrop! ) should know what they mean (and checking individual pages for reference every once in a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted May 21, 2018 Root Admin Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I will see if I can LaTeX it up Pipstickz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
