Translation of Wolfy.fr game rules to Wolfy.en

Wolfy.fr

A free-to-play online game for many players

At the time of writing, this only exists in French language so I proposed a translation, for English-speaking players.

The rules were quickly scrapped from the website and translated using "Google Translate". The result is a PDF containing slides for the different game characters.

Please find the first release here: "https://github.com/p19z/WolfyGameFr2En/releases/download/0.0.0.1/WolfyEn.pdf

Ideal installation

The ideal installation steps for building the PDF files:
  • choco install -y pandoc // << INSTALLS AS ROOT
  • choco install -y rsvg-convert
  • choco install -y miktex // << FAILED, APR 16, 2020
  • choco install -y pdflatex
But, as you may see on the comments, we have two problems; as of APR 16, 2020:
  • “Pandoc” is installed as Root, in C:\Users\Root\AppData\Local and is not accessible by default to a standard user.
  • The automated install of MiKTeX does not work via Chocolatey. See further below for a WORKAROUND.

Workaround 1

We need a command like this:
  • $> CACLS files /e /p {USERNAME}:{PERMISSION}
So in this case:
  • $> cd C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Pandoc
  • $> CACLS * /e /p MyStandardUserName:R
