Fallout 3 - FAQ Guide! Think it's good?

[Ainene]

Hiya, I was gonna make a FAQ guide that is meant to help people with common and not so common problems

and I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me with that and was wondering if this is a good idea and so on blablabla :-)

 

The Basic Idea is that I provide a simple document in either Microsoft Word or PDF. (depends on what is best choice tbh. well maybe both? well PDF is more supported than Word documents no?)

the quest is simple. Find common problems, explain what the problem like

Problem: Cannot Start fallout

and then show a few possible answers.

Like

Problem Cannot Do that

Possible Solution: Add that to the Fallout.ini

Possible Solution: Change your Mod Order

Possible Solution: install that or that etc etc

if you understand what I mean.

this will not only help people but also decrease time to search for problems.

The Guide I meant to write is gonna take a while (since there are 2 many problems!) and I'm gonna write in my free time which is a little!

I meant to write this guide as a "simple why doesnt fallout 3 work? your problem might be this?" so you dont need to spend all your time.

I dont really need help but I would love to have feedback, problems, solutions and everything that might make this. I will start writing this n updating this starting next week as I'm a little bit busy this week but any ideas are welcome!

 

 

Note. I will be updating first post

Simple suggestion - use any text editor or word processor, save in .txt format on your computer - Copy/Paste to post on the articles section instead of the forums. Make a separate article for each question, and an article with a list of all of the FAQs with links to each. Then send people with questions directly to the article that applies to their question. Each article should have a link to the list of FAQs article.

 

People will be able to comment on each article separately to let you know if there are problems or if they have suggestions to make it better.

 

You can edit your own articles at any time by making the changes to your own copy on your computer, then using copy/paste to change the article. Unlike posting on the forums the articles are always easy to find. - Much easier than changing a pdf.

So you mean

You suggest to use it in a "link-list" style FAQ with commenting system. well I could think about that.

Guess I will write it in Word/Notepad then Copy/Paste. *Yeah I know Word hates to be Copy/Pasted to plain Text but I hate the fact Notepad is only good for small txt's or programming. I prefer not to write huge articles on it.

 

I will start making such guide. seems like a very good idea.

 

 

Edit:

I just started out. if you have problems please do send em towards me! I will be adding em one by one.

Note that it's just a "basic" display that I go by it. I will be making better looking & adding more solutions when I can find more problems. *I'm I will do it slowly but surely but I will post solutions to problems that are asked asap. it will take time for the article to grow but it will grow but slowly... maybe the speed how humans evolved by a few million times fasters... LOL*

 

Well I hope you like it. and please do post comments about it! either here or the article itself!
