Is the maual going to be printed or is it another trip to Kinkos?

Trip somewhere. It's over 300 pages.

Is the maual going to be printed or is it another trip to Kinkos?

I'm assuming that the Kinko's Document Center will have it, like the one for UV and Korsun Pocket. When UV was orignally released,there wasn't this agreement with Matrix and my local Kinko's quoted me something to the tume of $100 to print it in color and give it a three ring binder. Now I can get a spiral bound one for less than $15, I believe. You may want to wait until you see the manual listed on Matrix's Kinko's Doc Center page.

release the hounds!! or even the game.......mabe if i get a few beers into me i willnot think about it...bullsh**....quick get the beer anyway. looking for a good player ta face aswell..takers?

Notice that Kinkos has a website for Britain...wonder how much it would cost to get the manual printed out over here.What exactly is done with this service if any one has used it before ?

I got my UV manual printed out and sent to me. I went through the doc stroe and picked the crush resistent binder that can lay flat. They sent me a B&W manual with clear plastic over the front page and black plastic for the back cover.
It was very well done and the price was fair.
I hope they offer both WiTP manuals with that method. I would indeed buy them.

I reckon you guys are going to have one hell of a party once this monster's released huh...

One concern: Will the new thing you did to the sound files make if impossible for us to substitute our own? Is it some sort of propriatary compression you are using now?

I think in one of the threads Mike Wood said they switched all music to mp3. Nothing should stop you from replacing the music files.

Great, but for those of us who can't make it to Origins and are stuck with the ancient dial-up connections, when can we expect it to be in stores, or available for purchase from Matrix?

If I remember correctly: It's not going to be in stores. They'll have mail order available "a few days" after Origins.

Will any of the old ship art files, weather icons etc. that we D'loaded for UV hsppen to work with WiTP??????

And once again to all the guys who developed, tested or whatever on WiTP.......[&o][&o][&o]

Nope but it is a simple matter to change the bmp files in the art directory to whatever.

Hey Sonny,

Are you gonna pick up a copy for me too? Be difficult for us to start a campaign PBEM without the software[:D]

It better be ready by Origins. I'm making the trip just to purchase it there.

(also I want to see if you guys are as ugly as I've heard[X(][:D]).

Yep. I was just gonna email you today.
I guess you got a new email address since we last played.
Send me your email address to sonny25@cox.net or your phone number and I will get in touch when I get back. (Or send me your home address and I will mail it to you.)

I'm not gonna get there until Friday afternoon so I hope they still have a few copies left by then.
