typos in new items

[Laurel]

Code: Select all

As you smash the "npc", a scintillating black energy
ripples up the solid spikeson the head, forcing the "weapon" to
pummel deeply into his legs, crushing bones and mutilating flesh.

hmmm the "spikeson", reminds me of the posibility to be the son of the sea in Calia -> Season ...

anyway - suggestion - use spellcheck tools (MS Word?) for creating descriptions of new items?

Good catch. Did you <typo> it in-game?

I always "typo" report stuff when I see them. There's lots of little things around, and I can confirm that the typo reports are actually read and the typos presumably fixed (you'll usually get a "thank you, now fixed" mail some time later).

[Cherek]

I do as well. Genesis is probably millions of lines of text, it has amazingly few typos in my opinion.

But what we can do to help is to report them, writing about it here wont help much.

Submit the typo report - then it will sure arrive to the wizard and the liege in charge.
However the origin of the typo is clear to me and no spell check tool will find it out, let alone MS Word (who writes programs in MSWord?!? )
Consider this code:

Code: Select all

write("As you smash " + enemy->query_the_name() + ", " +
      "a scintillating black energy ripples up the solid spikes" +
      "on the head, forcing the " + short() + " to pummel " +
      "deeply into his legs, crushing bones and mutilating flesh.\n");

The space is indeed missing, but I wonder what spell checker would discover it.

Well ... assumptions can kill any and all possible logic ...

it was my char to see the typo - assumption
it was not reported - assumption
I have any clue about coding - assumption
the typo is not fixed - assumption

all wrong tho ...
