From ecd3749a0b499f1ab884246b72c7811caac16f4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Schwarz Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:57:08 +0000 Subject: * Updates to ui/help.txt (the in-game help menu). In the future, it needs to be rewritten to be more for first-time players than for 1.1 players, but at least this is more complete and up to date for now :) --- assets/ui/help.txt | 125 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------- 1 file changed, 62 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-) (limited to 'assets') diff --git a/assets/ui/help.txt b/assets/ui/help.txt index d71e469e..bd4c6a3e 100644 --- a/assets/ui/help.txt +++ b/assets/ui/help.txt @@ -1,17 +1,12 @@ { - "^3Welcome to MGDev!^7" + "^3Welcome^7" { - "This mod is under ongoing development.
