Hi

Link to Lord Callidors Manual doesn't work anymore. Does anybody has this manual? 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."

If you put each section of the table of contents in a post by itself, you can link to that post by right clicking on the 'reply to' link at the lower right of the post that replied to it...like the 'reply to' link in this post is a copyable link to your post from anywhere in the thread.

That sucks!

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.

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.
