Tutorial for Item Rotating

Post by 6plus »

Over the last few weeks me and Seneca37 have been working on a tutorial for item rotation. Before I finalize the document I'd like to give everyone here a chance to browse through it.

If you find typos or severe grammatical atrocities leave a comment here.

@Haplo:
Do we have any official logo or banner (like the one at the top of this page) that I should put on the title page?
Do you have any suggestions for the legal stuff aka copyright information?



P.S. I know that the images need a reduction in file size, didn't find time for that yet.

Nice!! Can I have the .tex sources? I'm interested (and not just for TR purposes) in a good way to embed graphics in .tex files, and besides, it would be helpful to have a common style for further TR tutorials.

Also, I'd suggest tes3cmd for cleaning out objects that are unchanged yet marked as modified. But I guess tes3cmd is worth a little tutorial of its own.

Re: copyright info, whatever you want. Is there content in here you don't want reproduced? I've attached a potential image that you can work with.

(I remember people usually putting more emphasis on the dotted line being useful but ultimately not the final criterion?)

Neat document!

Sure, do you need the images as well?

No, I was mainly interested in the embed code for non-floating graphics (I have so far avoided images in favor of tikz and xy, but I am not sure if I can go on without them forever), and also I want to have a common standard I could follow when I write my own tutorials. Thanks a lot!

LaTeX is great for creating a good looking layout, a lot is done by the program and all you have to do is finetune it.

Plus, as PhD you have to use it sooner or later, so I'm familiar with it.

Posting this here.

Video version of the tutorial; it suffers from poor audio quality, poor directing and poor editing. Perhaps anyone of you guys has some experience in working with videos and wants to take a shot at it.
