Unofficial Update Documentation
I decided to start a new thread for the Unofficial Update documentation to keep the Unofficial Update thread clean.
Attached is what I have so far. There is the QuickGuide, Shortcuts and Chapter 2 of the manual. The files are previews of the coming final versions. All the new information has been added to the document files and they just need some formatting adjustments.
The shortcuts file does not have the newest shortcuts yet - new shortcuts were recently added.
I'm using LibreOffice Draw to author the changes.
This is a rough map of the changes in chapter 2:
pg 54 hyperlink to shortcuts
pg 63-65 toolbar locations, unlook at, zoom to selection buttons
pg 66 mini 3d toolbar
pg 72 desktop aspect, added new page
pg 76 toolbar image
pg 81 file menu
pg 82 help menu image
pg 87, 88 LE mini toolbar
pg 104 toolbar, 3D unencaps
pg 106 unencaps 2d
pg 158 quad window, uu toolbar
pg 164 rmb command nodes
pg 176 to end is modelspace - nothing todo

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
I just found that the chapter 2 is incomplete
TODO - synchronize and protect workspace new page(s) after pg 74
TODO - select and alphabetize panel - maybe pg 90
TODO - maybe show LE "bookmarks" in scene view window hierarchy

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
Unofficial Update 3D Mini Toolbar page 66
There is much more info about this toolbar not included
If interested, I'll post here about it
Also the Quad Window & New View
Animation shortcuts
K = Next Key frame
Should be:
K = Set Keyframe
+ = Grow selection
- = Shrink selection
Both have an additional command
MeshModifiers.ConvertSelection('','')
Render to File - RB = Open Folder

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
I think it would be helpful if you shared whatever knowledge you have.

This trueSpace Beta 7.61 Standalone Unofficial Update.txt is the same as the trueSpace Beta 7.61 Unofficial Update.txt minus Model infoPE Widgets
P + MB click the widget moves to object center and rotates the Axis to the selected Face
This is not working, it activates the following shortcuts
Bars, Triangles, Cubes, & Arcs
MB click the Bars, Triangles, and Sphere activates the Object Move widget
MB click the Arcs activates the Object Rotate widget
MB click the Cubes activates the Object Scale widget
I am going to change it to:
Ctrl + LB click the widget moves to object center and rotates the Axis to the selected Face

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
Chapter 2 updated to
include some information from the release notes.
Select and Alphabetize panels pg 92
Synchronize notes - mostly me trying the understand/remember how it works. pg 76
The next release should be cleaned up with actual documentation for the synchronize scripts. Then it's time to start the modeling chapter which should be easier since things haven't been moved around as much and new stuff can all be added to the end of the chapter (probably).

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
The pages are not in sync starting after page 71
Page 71 "2.7.6 Desktop Preferences"
Original information starts here and then continues on the second page 72
Pages are not in sync from here on...
If possible, it seems it would be much easier and better to add pages and insert hyper links just like you did with the Unofficial Shortcuts Table of Contents 'Page 3'
Add info for new pages starting with page 204
2.15 Unofficial Update - page 204
2.15.1 Desktop Preferences - page 205
And if possible add hyper links to the new pages that go back to the page that has the hyper link
page 66
Set Camera RMB switch to perspective view
It looks like you started inserting information on page 72 'Two pages named 72'
Page 71 "2.7.6 Desktop Preferences"

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
Important reason for my suggestion!
Instructions from the trueSpace Beta 7.61 Unofficial Update.txt
Install the PDF Manual for trueSpace. (Optional but required before installing the Update)
* Included a modified ts76_manual.html that links to an included modified tS6help.chm, New in 6.5.PDF, ch30_NewInTrueSpace66.PDF, ch27_PhysicalSimulation.pdf, tS76_MS_Animation.pdf, tS7_AG_3.17.pdf, tS7_AG_Ch_4_NormalMapping.pdf, tS7_DG_chapt1_chapt2.pdf, and UsingBonesToVertex.pdf files.

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
I just noticed a problem. The imported pdf files lost the chapter links, so they don't have a click in the table of contents to jump to the page.

Re: Unofficial Update Documentation
Still gathering up the content for the UU manual.
Taking a new direction because of the limitations of my editing/publishing tools.
The UU manual will concentrate on changed items only, with chapters and sections to match the trueSpace manual. This way if you read the manual but it doesn't match the UU release version the information can be cross referenced.
There is no way for me to edit the tS manuals since I would lose the table of contents links and links to the manual videos.
There is no way for me to link from the UU manual to specific parts of the tS manuals. I can only link to the entire document at this time.
I think I can add comments to the tS manuals indicating that updated information can be found in the UU manual.
The shortcuts are no longer a separate file and have been added into the chapter 2 UU manual. These shortcuts have not been updated to the latest release of UU.
This whole thing is in a very rough state at this point in time. The next step is the rough in the surfacing chapter 5.
