Hi!
I'm in the process of revamping the ZGI manual, as the current one that GOG provides is a bit... bad. I don't have much time to do this kind of thing, so I was hoping for a bit of help of the ZGI community here :).
What I really need is proofreading (some text was done with OCR) and the screenshots of everything on the original manual. If you want to help, write here the pages or screenshots you are going to work on, so me or someone else don't work on the same as you :). Also, if you own the original manual, it will be nice to know if the text color is completely black, and the page background is completely white.
Also, it will be nice to know if there is an existing "good" version of the manual around, in case I'm just wasting my time with this :D. I know that there is a good version of the Chronologue for example (provided with the DVD) instead of the scanned one provided here on GOG (not sure why is like that, I thought developer/publishers give GOG the best resources available)
Work in progress PDF version is here: (removed, it seems I cannot post links ATM. Just let me know here if you want to help, and I'll send you the WIP version). As you can see, the font is not the same one, but I think it looks close enough. The fonts used in the original manual cost ~160$ for all the needed typefaces, so a bit outside of my range just for a free project :D.
Anyway, let me know what you think or if you want to help :). Thanks!
