Title: Video Tutorial: How to get started with Assist
Post by: Spanky on Sunday, July 27, 2014, 18:48:32 PM
If you're already here, chances are you already figured out how to install Assist. This video is more of a promotion to show how easy it is to get started and the correct way to move the installation folder.

Check it out here:

Please post suggestions on what kind of tutorial to do next and any feedback you may have.

Nice!
Only the sound quality is not so good,  using a headset and I'm now almost deaf...

Headset would be the issue for that, turn it down or get some real speakers/headphones.

I recorded with a crappy mic and there's background noise but it's fine.

 The background noise is for my standard to high, thats my only comment.

 For the part where I need to buy real headset, well its the real deal.

I refuse to buy a quality mic for a free game tutorial on YouTube. The point gets across and with good speakers/headphones (not a headset) there's nothing shrill or painful about the audio.

There's nothing wrong with the recording, it's perfectly understandable even though it does have a little static.

I've posed this question before and will again:
Whose AA takes up less than 2GB?
Mine is 4.64 GB and that includes ~300 MB of SS and ~400 MB of demorecs, which means that the game itself is almost 4 GB instead of the 1.95 GB it says on installation. Thats twice as much as we're saying you need.

Now I'm not saying it takes too much room, I'm saying it says it takes 2 GB, while in reality seems to take 4 GB. This is a problem especially if you want to install it on the C:\ drive, which (at least for me) is a system drive only and doesn't have much excess space.

I've changed it in the client. It will be visible in the next release of the Assist Client.

Heh, I probably should have checked that before saying it. There's a difference, too, between the download amount and extracted amount.

Mine's a fresh install and is at 3.78GB.

great idea; you did a good job, thans for that. and now maybe a link from the FAQ's to the youtube vid?
Title: Re: Video Tutorial: How to get started with Assist
Post by: teddy_grizzly_bear on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, 09:09:26 AM
Merlin is right, someone should add the link to the video on the Getting Started page and 'alternatively' leave the text with the pictures.

I don't know how easy or hard it would be to implement a youtube box like here on the forums? Would draw ones eye better IMHO.

What do you mean? Embed the video?


Also, I'm uploading the next video for Account & Training.

Where at, on the Getting Started page? Gotta be more specific Teddy!

Yes. I meant on the getting started page.

I would like it if it had the first video embedded and then the 2nd as well, both there in the begging, but still leave the text and pictures (I would guess some people prefer those).

I would just hate for all your hard work to go to waste and an embedded video would make it easier for users to see it.

PS.
I think we should also add a link to the youtube channel to Assit's ReadMe (the one that ships with it) as well as to the installation once it's complete (something like 'If this is your first time installing Assist, you can go to www.youtube.com/user/AAO25Assist (http://www.youtube.com/user/AAO25Assist) and we'll help you get started').

Done!

Hopefully ELiZ will have some time soon to get the actibot emails up and when that happens, users will be linked to the Getting Started page where both videos will be. I think only those two videos are necessary, any other tutorial videos can be extra.

I agree. It goes through the essentils pretty well.

Oh and very nice job on the Getting started page! I like it! :)

The videos are nice!

On the Getting Started page, i would embed a playlist, and put them in a playlist on youtube. We can create multiple playlists, getting started, map breakdowns, etc.
Title: Re: Video Tutorial: How to get started with Assist
Post by: Spanky on Thursday, July 31, 2014, 12:58:13 PM
They are in a playlist;
https://www.youtube.com/user/AAO25Assist/playlists (https://www.youtube.com/user/AAO25Assist/playlists)

I was thinking of doing a playlist on that page but I'm kinda unsure. Really, all that's needed is those two videos. Anything else, they can find on the YouTube channel once they get deeper into AA.

Hello,

If this is going to be a series of videos and or texts, may I suggest a .html page.

Set it up like an electronic book as such, with chapters for each specific item and pages with embed video links and any relevant text.
