I dont think anyone will look there to learn how to play. They are supposed to be Warcraft tips...

Its like the F9 thing it makes the map more professional... And the file size is very low! Why not?

Re: Adding tips here... - Paladon - 2009-10-26

I think the tip ability is enough.

Re: Adding tips here... - TKF - 2009-10-26

Well it doesn't hurt to add more detailed tips there about the game and basic gameplay and strategies how to play.

I would also say its a good idea...

It isnt much work, and you could simply add the tips displayed ingame with -tip or -help or whatever the command is. Not much work and cool if someone notices. I already clicked that button once or twice on funmaps Tongue

By the way, Tip 14 can be removed Wink

is it still in the Tip-ability? Then remove it! ^^

This are the tips from Battle Tanks 7.55 Open Source and its only an example... :-)

Re: Adding tips here... - Paladon - 2009-10-30

Hehe, let's see Wink

As long as it isn't too much of a hassle to setup, and doesn't interfere with the game, then sure.

If it is causing bugs/conflicts, then don't bother.
