Norfolk nChance Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) @admin & @Ink Not sure where to POST this. @Ink if you want to move it feel free... First four done, will post the rest later. Would also like this tutorial Linked to NA-L upon its return... Gunnery Tutorial 1 The Instructional Notepad on the right-hand side needs moving up to the center. Make the notepad slightly larger in size. Mouse Wheel scroll +/- first... Wording needs changing. Start with words like FRONT BACK LEFT RIGHT sides with (Bow, Stern, Port etc bracketed). Use the correct term “Look from the Back to the FRONT towards the Bow”. “Look from the Right (Starboard) side towards the Left (PORT), then Right mouse click to enter the aim mode”. Start with longer terms then cut it down. Firing Sector Basics. You introduce the enemy boat too soon. Confuses the learner as the enemy boat is on the wrong side and looks like the tutorial has locked up. Re-Reading the instructions clears this up. Move “Tips” Down as it can be hard to see against the bright beautiful sky scene and is covered by the CONTROL symbol. Like how you isolated other functions to stop confusion and the mouse graphic. Also Changing controls actual appear in the tutorial... nice touch Gun Convergence After destroying the enemy side, you asked load grape 1,3 and on the other broadside 2,3. This might not be clear enough. Small point, if you don’t load the other broadside the tutorial again becomes locked. So, kill the ability to FIRE until both sides are loaded with grape. Then proceed... Sailing Tutorial 2 Setting Sails OK “Tips” Lower also make it a solid blue/grey background like the titles. Too hard to see clearly with rigging and other notes overlaying... Chat window – kill ability. Confuses if entered accidently Turning Ask the player to “Look Back to Front, following the boat moving forward” This less confusing reversing left to right etc. May miss the A circle at the end... Instead of saying “Turn 30 degrees to the right”, Use fixed number placements to start with. So, boat starts at 270 degrees [locking other steering functions] say “turn the ship right using [KEY] to 315 degrees. Use the 30 degrees instruction later. Special Maneuvers Tutorial 3 Using Front & Back Yards Once again get the player to look back to front... Can’t read all the instructions. Notepad too small... Exercises need to be slightly longer to see the full effect. I like the A circle objective target at the end. Using Yards to slow down... Need to explain what Staysails are. Perhaps with a side view and a ‘T” depower explanation first? Getting out of Irons... Like it. Might want to explain what you will ask beforehand... a lot going on... Also, rudder return [D] key is NOT linked to my individual controls. Pursuit and Capture Tutorial4 Nothing that I haven’t said before. Like the flow of this one also. Nice job. summary Really Like it. Sorry for late response due to NA-L. Norfolk. I found the correct thread to POST. Also added 5 to 8 tutorials as well. Thanks for the likes guys... http://forum.game-labs.net/topic/24654-combat-tutorial-feedback/?page=3&tab=comments#comment-525384 Edited February 15, 2018 by Norfolk nChance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
