Spelling & Grammar Checks [Special Topic]

Post by Leaf »

In this topic you can post all spelling and/or grammar failures you find in the game.

Please refer to the server you play on, and if possible, mention the server version. Make sure to specify the map path in question as well (using the 'maps command). If the error is found in an NPC dialog or sign, please provide a description of the location within the map.

Please do not debate on posted errors, we do have a dictionary. :wink:

On a final note, be sure to quote and trim pertinant content in your followup or reply.

I'm not sure if this would count, but the messages like:

Code: Select all

<player name> was killed by poison, in hand to hand combat
could be counted as grammar failures (lol :lol: poison does'nt have hands). However I personally think that it might be good to keep as it's just plain humourous and fun :D but perhaps it should be 'fixed', I'm just not sure...

Perhaps replace "in hand to hand combat" with "physically"?

/pup_land/nurnberg/castle_bauer/castle4: "castle guard,bishop" has no space after the comma; the preceeding castle guards have one.

/lake_country/Butakis/prison_e: Twis responds to question "Fiery": "[...] I don't care if he die."; That should probably read "... if he dies.".

/lake_country/Butakis/Wist_portal: The signs for the exits are not consistent: some end with "..", some end with "...".

/brest/amphis: Some monsters are written with two spaces: "El Barchio", "Francois Guitar", "Fred Lyrics", "Helene Drums", "Jose Lyrics", "Michel Bass", "Olivier Keyboard", "Paul Albert", "Seb Blaser".

Scorn Gate Pass: The word "penalities" in its description has a spelling error.

/scorn/anthony/portgate: When the gates open, the message "You hear [...] anchient machinary [...]" has a spelling error: it should read "[...] ancient machinery [...]".

/scorn/anthony/portgate: "The guard seeing that the Hero approches turns the handle to open the gate." should read "[...] approaches [...]".

/scorn/anthony/prison: The guard on the left side, half way north from the entry from scorn, says "The prison gaurd shouts at you.. [...]". That should read "[...] guard [...]".

Apartments in scorn, it asks you to say the pupland password, should probably read Nurnberg password, since Nurnberg is but a part o pupland, not all of it.

Ok, technically an anancronism rather than an error, but still....

/dungeon/trollbridge

When entered from the west, message reads "Something is amis here". Should read "..amiss.."

When entered from the east, message reads "Oh, no something is not right here". Should read "Oh no, something..."

Metalforge

Warriors Tower
quests/mal/Main_Floor

A few on this level

1) "The watcher says: 'Welcome... show us that atleast you have...'" Should read "...at least...".

2) Sign at entrance to spellcasters level on standover reads "Unnatural moshpot" presumably should read "moshpit"? On applying sign reads "...to get intersting =)" Should read "...interesting =)".

3) Host of undead section. "Sage says: 'the old king... been burried...'" Should read "....buried...".

4) Host of dragon section. "A powerful dwarf says: '...have become an all to common problem... standard varietees...'" Should read "...too..." and "...varieties...".

5) Host of giants sections. "A welldressed man says: '...big problems, literaly... been plagueing...'" Should read "...literally..." and "...plaguing...".

6) Sign at entrance to final temple reads "There is an anchient temple..." Should read "...ancient..."
