Hey Venatrix.... I KNOW you dont like my in depth stuff :D
But as far as this currently ongoing efforts are concerned, I think you're right.
So don't be shy deleting those file.
I keep my version anyhow for a time
when someone realizes that a help system should be more than
an enumaration of facts.

I am starting to wonder, whether the "Lore" section really fits into
the "at a glance" part.
No, I am not being cynical :)

We have all tried to keep this short, just a quote, a saving or so,
but as it is so short it can hardly compensate for the relatively
sober rest.
Also, it may become increasingly hard to find something for each and every
house.
Perhaps we should call this a "quick info" rather than a help file, and keep
the attempts to create a bit of an atmosphere for a longer version?
Either for the "in depth" version or maybe as a real manual?
Just a thought.

I have imported all lua files ( from the houses and in /scripting)
into my installation, and the extra pngs. (Manually)
But WL crashes without any message when I click on any help button.
I must have missed something, I guess.

Perhaps Chuck could verify that is is actually working on Windows?
I know he has a Windows installation (among other OSes).

So I cannot see your new lua files rendered, Venatrix.
But I have looked at the sources, and I think they're fine.
All necessary info is there.
I plan to write something about the terrain dependency of
the choice of trees a ranger uses, their different growth rate,
chances to survive, and other tree properties, but I simply can't find the time now.
Also about the scheme the lumberjack uses for clearing the landscape.
But that would of course be for the "in depth" side of things, anyway.

Sorry for not doing anything for WL today.
With luck, tomorrow....
