Hi Innocent:
I'll say to you what I always say to ferrari when I tease him. I
always assume general good will, until I see something that does not seem to fit that concept.
There are a number of options on how you could post and yes, I'm sure that many people would appreciate and enjoy a "good' translation for Ricardo's tuts. I am generally relying on Systran, which is adequate, but not as good as a native speaker. Some of Ricardo's tuts were translated into English by somebody at Woodmann's, I think, without looking it was hobgoblin, but I don't believe it was the ones you mentioned. Simply make sure that you are not duplicating that effort.
As to how to post and keep up with additions while on a dial-up, that is relatively easy, while not running too far afoul of the post count issue. For example, say you have three of the series done and you want to upload. That's one attachment and one post. Now you've finished the fourth segmemt, what do you do as a dial up? Easy. You create a new post, attach part 4 and ask me to put them all together for you and erase the second post. I'll download the original zip, include the 4th installment and re-load the attachment. I'm on a flat fee DSL line, so its affected only by the speed here.
Since you actually have to do some work to translate there tuts, I'll not complain if you post several, as long as you do not divide one tut's parts up among more than one post. If you were just copying someone elses stuff straight across, as several now banned users tried, that would be a different problem, and a different solution, if you catch my drift.
I saw Ricardo's note this morning about the new "teorias." What I downloaded the other day only includes 00-163, so it appears that I will need to get the rest. Eventually, when deleting the bogus posts slows down ( we now have over 1000 new members I'm trying to ride herd over), I'll upload the rest which aren't already here, to the FTP. And, just for the record, there are only 275 tuts in his "teorias." O.K., I have them all again.
I'm sure many here and on Woodmann's would appreciate this effort and you, or I can post there when some of them are uploaded. Ricardo and his group have done some interesting work, especially on Arma. We all need to keep a good thought that Ricardo finds work soon.
Regards,
