Stars! version and Help File

Most of you will have downloaded the starsjrc4.exe file from the autohost-download area. As a matter of fact you are supposed to use either this file, refered to as a the jrc4-patch or for those who prefer the German translation, to use the STARS27JRC3-GERMAN.ZIP, refered to as the jrc3-patch (German).

In both downloads the Stars!-help file is not included. While there are some glitches and some errors which evolved during the different versions and updates, nevertheless the Help file is indeed very helpful and I can recommend it very much. The most up-to-date help-file even comes with an additional very handy FIND option.

* e27ihelp.zip
- read the ReadMe.txt for information how to install it (depending on your system: linux, apple or one of the newest Windows version there might be further information needed which you might best ask in the Bar at autohost)
- contains slightly updated Stars!.hlp, 2 dll-files and a ReadMe.txt with troubleshooting infos
- includes additional feature: quick search within the help (very handy)
- on other websites this help-update comes as e27ihelp.exe but I made it a zip-file (running an unknown exe-file is always a bit creepy)

Once the files are added you can access the Help with pressing F1 within Stars. There you can even make bookmarks/Lesezeichen to easily access information about PRTs, LRTs, movement & battle etc.

Alternatively several players have worked to bring together this help-file in an online-version on the Stars!Wiki (although I don't know wether it is already complete):
* Stars!Wiki Stars! Help online
