POST ALL SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERRORS HERE

[SteelGolem]

Making new threads for individual spelling and grammar errors seems picky. they're not actually bugs in the game, but rather a series of minor string edits. wouldn't it be better to collect them all under one thread?

that said, i'll start this thread by posting the one i found this morning:

info screen for juganaut plate. selecting it in inventory is fine, but when you click on info, the word plate is missing its E.

Firstly, the individual post request is to make such bug/error/mistake reports easy to track within the forums. Until a bug request system is in place then this is the best option available to Kev.

The issue you reported - that is not an spelling error - it is a display error. It is because there is not enough room allocated to display all of the text - thus, the E is hidden or not shown.

Kev is aware if this issue and either the text display area needs to be widened, or the text size reduced; or have some kind of word wrap; or all of the above.

Cheers,

Mon

EDIT: OK - I see that Kev has changed the title and made this a sticky post for all spelling and grammar errors.

started a new game, keeping a sharp eye on info texts and quests. first batch:

items

fireball desc: casts a ball fire towards the opponent
(should be ball of fire)

town portal desc: "portal - summon a portal back to the nearest town"
("portal -" is redundant, with the "town portal" already above it)

leather armor desc: leather armor
(leather gloves desc is empty, not saying "leather gloves"; leather armor desc is redundant)

monsters

(is it actually poisonous? i haven't been poisened by one)

bone guard desc: a armoured skeletal warrior
(an armoured..)

[SteelGolem]

let me know if there are other files you need me to go through, i'm more than happy to help you out.

also, did you want me to highlight the changes with underlines? they're not easy to spot if you're just scanning through.

[kevglass]

Great as it is, thanks for taking the time to do this

Cheers,

Kev

[kevglass]

Fixed the ones where I think you're right in the next update.
