This time I got the chats and the lore, which are some of the most visible text in the whole game. There are probably more fixes to be made in various obscure files, but with these two big batches, the great majority of the text should be... better.

(Most of the lore was in great shape already. I only found a few inconsistencies here and there. I'm really impressed with it, honestly.)

And, just like last time, there are spoilers here. Probably even MORE so than last time. So, don't read it if you don't want to see all the content revealed.

Applied correctly!
Thanks!

And yes the lore is both great and without much errors, mostly because I do not write it directly :)

Was this able to spot errors such as "nad" used instead of "and"? If not, then there's an occurence of "nad" somewhere...

"This" was me manually reading and correcting the *.lua files. It's quite possible that "this" missed any number of typos even in the files that were processed. There were also a bunch of files that were never even touched at all, since they're much lower priority for this purpose (more code, less text).

That's some very impressive scouring of typos :) Glad to see my lore mistakes were few (though I note I spelt Angolwen wrong a couple of times - can never remember these names). And orc's instead of orcs' - unforgivable!

The description of a certain boss should be changed from:

"... radiates with so much power it feels like wind is blowing from it."

to

"... radiate so much power it seems like wind is blowing from them."

The vaults plantlife.lua and plantlife-dark.lua have some errors:
"huorn" should be "treant" and "poison vine" should be "poison ivy".

5th Toknor diary contains references to "Minerva" instead of "Mirvenia". Not sure why 4 and 6 have the right names but 5 doesn't...

15b ... the weapon of the Rak'Shor bloke in the crypt has "ego_change=100" ... don't know if the setting will break anything, or just be ignored - but guess it's meant to be "chance"

Code: Select all

griffon:~$ grep 'alfling mages' public_html/te4.15.spelling 
-	desc = [[The first the halfling mages during the Age of Allure discovered how to catpure the sunlight to infuse gems with it.
+	desc = [[The first Halfling mages during the Age of Allure discovered how to capture the Sunlight and infuse gems with it.
