May send it to me or send it to spooky for hosting? Thank's Morphin Just saw this post, sorry. I've emailed a copy of Lord Callidor's doc to Spooky, asking him to host it. If I hear back from him that it's posted, I'll hit VSWG up with the updated link. OK, the file is now available at Spooky's website: http://mathubert.free.fr/ VSWG, would you mind updating the first post in this thread with the new location? It seems to be down again. Can someone confirm? I was able to download it from Spooky's site. From the Strategy Guide and FAQ page, it's the "WitP unified manual/tutorial."

Hi VSWG. Please strike my website from your list of WITP websites. Something is messed up with my Geocities page and I really don't care to have a website anymore. I hope I've been a bundle of joy for hackers out there. And I hope hackers go to hell someday. They deserve every bit of it.

[:(] I've removed your site, but why don't you start a thread about your mod in the scenario forum, and upload your mod to a file host? Then you wouldn't have to maintain a website, and I could include these links in the list.

I made some serious updates of the Wiki software due to increasing amounts of spam and simple crap. Those that still want to contribute will have to validate their e-mail to do so, but the new version has some better features,� and is a lot more secure and stable. EDIT: Had to also disable new account creation as these moron power leveller spammers was making a mess of the site. If someone, for any reason want an account, send a PM to me.
