First WIP releases of the AC Modding Manual 3.0

They're just here, but you don't need to download them, as they are most likely full of errors and they are posted just to prove that the document has a history of continuous development. I used to add also changelogs, but I reached the point where the doc is so long that it's difficult to trace every edit I make, so I don't report differences anymore, apart from brief observations.

____________________________________________________________________________

EDIT 11.05.2023: I removed the links of the releases which came after. I will keep these for anyone who will stumble into my blog and the humble origins of my project. I love my story, like a jazz piece. Never take things for granted, be wise. People have the freedom to change their mind, and some don't want to appear in history books either. We shall become dust, that's the universal justice.

With love, yours truly A.M.

Added more words in the vocabulary; changes in section 1 again, some progress in section 2.f, added viewport shortcuts for ksEditor in section 3; new images and corrections in section 4, and also section 4.a, in aero.ini; working on engine.ini and lights.ini (both still very wip). From now on in the .inis the descriptions will indicate the parameter they're referring to with small arrows, for an easier reading.

Version 0.5

With v0.5 I started including the ksEditor with the guide in a compressed archive.

Changelog:

Added ksEditor to the package that comes with the manual; a bit of restyle, just for fun cos I had some time, and little changes and precisations here and there; edits in the ksEditor section (3.a), problem [1] of faq, to make it less redundant; added credits for mods shown in introduction.
