Grargar: Could you do the same for the two Serious Sam games? They also have html manuals.

Also, you didn't answer my questions regarding the two discrepancies:

Baldur's Gate - Siege of Dragonspear mentions 3 manuals in its extras, but none in its Deluxe Edition. Is that intentional?

Tropico 5 Complete Collection Upgrade has the manual in its extras, but the Tropico 5 Complete Collection doesn't. What gives?

JudasIscariot: Fixed.
Thanks for fixing those -updated my gogmix as well!

Nightblair: Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games is missing manual. And it's a bit shame, because the game uses keyboard a lot. For examle Z for zoom on item. Keyboard commands are not explained in the game at all.
I haven't found a proper manual for the time being, but it seems the demo of the game came with a readme which included a list of controls:

Hope it'll help you. :-)

Also, I added this to the list. And to Appendix A.

Also PMed the guy who made a post about the manual here:

Hopefully he still reads it and will be able to upload.

Hope he will reply indeed, though the chances for that are rather slim...
Also, since you're at it, could you also please pm this guy? He said 2 years ago he had a manual of Slave Zero and when IronArcturus enthusiastically told him to tell GOG the guy was like "What do you want me to tell them, exactly?" (*facepalm*) That you have the manual of course, you, you *I really don't know what expression to use here*!!!
In short when I saw that exchange I was pretty pissed off (perhaps wrongly so), but still you might keep your cool more in regards to this case...

Done.

I hope they dop log in to GOG from time to time if only to download/buy new games. And hopefully the PM will get their attention.

Thanks a lot. Added the manual to my gogmix, though I had to somewhat reduce the quality of the images in order to bundle them in a pdf.
Anyways, that went nicely -I didn't really expect anything, so that was a pleasant surprise. That's one off the appendices for ZFR!

Well, what do you know, looks like we were being overly pessismistic. Both replied within the day :)

A huge thanks to thedkm for providing Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games manual

and to SKARDAVNELNATE for providing Slave Zero manual.

I've uploaded them to Dropbox with the rest of the manuals.

ah, ninjad.

That was surprising indeed. I guess people that stay too long in the gog forums end up apparently getting infected with cynicism and pessimism...
On another note, you weren't ninjad all that much as I didn't have the link to the JA:Deadly Games manual, and also you seem to have uploaded the Slave Zero files as is, which will help people wanting to see the original bmps and do not trust mediafire, while I aimed for a pdf file (which is easier to peruse), even if that meant reducing the quality of the originals somewhat. That means two off the list then.
P.S I'll need some time to get the Jadg pics as a pdf as some are single images...
Edit-Ok done - people will need to rotate the pdf for pages 3 and 5 (and perhaps the last one too, in case they want to read the order form) though -hope it won't be too inconvenient... Thanks a lot also to thedkm as well!

Thanks. I removed Siege of Dragonspear from the list, since all manuals are included with all editions now.

Just a question, the vanilla Tropico 5 (non-Complete Collection version) doesn't have the manual included. Is this intentional? Does the manual apply only to the Complete Collection?

I used to have the base version of Tropico 5 and later got the Complete Collection upgrade. I don't remember seeing any manual at all before the upgrade, whether on extras or the installation folder. Seems like on GOG, the manual is indeed exclusive to the Complete Collection.

I'll leave the normal Tropico 5 then on the list for the time being.

Thanks. I've updated the links in the list to point to your pdf versions as well for the last 2 additions. Better than having zipped images.

Letting you know about a typo on the url syntax: The url on the Slave Zero entry on post 3 doesn't work correctly as it leads to Gog's 404 page.
On another note, people won't need to rotate the pdf of the Jadg manual at all anymore, as I found a way to convert/bundle all images into a pdf instead of "printing" them with a pdf as the output (which left huge margins and rotated some pages) as I did when I first uploaded it -only caveat is that this new method is done via the Linux terminal (I do wonder if there is a similar method in windows as well, and I just did not know it....)
