Title: Typos
Post by: Valkeera on December 21, 2006, 16:35
DoomRL is still plagued by several typos in text messages. Help catch those little bugs and smash them!

Several examples:

AoI challenge, when picking / using a medpac:

"You use a small med-pack immidately. You feel healed"
Correctly:
"You use the small med-pack immediately. You feel healed."

*      *      *

When the Cybie is defeated, in the winning message:

"After you defeat the Cyberdeamon..."
Correctly:
"After you defeat the Cyberdemon..."

Great! :D

Yes, presentation is everything.  The game should look as professional as possible by 1.0.0.  That means no typos and consistency with naming.  i.e. it must be decided whether it's "Doom Roguelike," "Doom: The Roguelike," "Doom the Roguelike," or some other variant.  Same goes with "DoomRL," "DOOMRL," or "Doom RL..."

Here are Styro's finds from the other thread:

Quote
In the description for Badass, it has the following:

"deplete more slowly for you.Even more,"

To be consistent, there should be a space between "you." and "Even", like "you. Even"

Quote
OK, here's another one. ;)

There's the smell of blood in thy air!

The word "thy" should just be "the". "Thy" is a possessive, so it is like saying "your air".

Out of curiousity, is there any chance of finding an Advanced Combat Knife? I suppose you could only add speed and damage mods (just llike you can't add capacity to the rocket launcher), but it would make for an interesting challenge. That makes me wonder about dual-wielding Advanced Combat Knives...

Styro's ones have already been fixed. Valkeera, I also fixed the ones you posted now. Thank you, and report all that you can hunt down! :D

Derek, as for the naming convention, I have no idea :D. I guess I'll leave that for a poll in some time :].

That damn CyberdeAmon has been hunting me in various places since 0.9.5 ^_^

Here a few more I have found.

1. In the Angel of Impatience description:

 You need to kill now! No time to carry
 all those medkits and phase devices,
 you use them immidately at pickup!

Should be immediately.


2. The text when your player rank increases is a little awkward.

You have amazing skill and advanced
to Captain rank!

It should probably be changed to:

You have amazing skill and advance
to Captain rank!

-or-

You have amazing skill and have
advanced to Captain rank!


3. In the Angel of Purity description:

Who needs thiose powerups anyway?

Should be those.


4. The Angel of Haste description has an awkward sentance.

DoomRL is too long, you want to fight
your way through, as fast as possible.

It should probably be:

DoomRL is too long. You want to fight
your way through as fast as possible.

There's also a brutal typo on the initial screen - big, flashing red "Challange modes!" instead of Challenge modes. Though I suppose you know about that one already ;-)

As for the naming convention... I've always liked DoomRL most.

Other language bugs from Challenge games description. I'll write them down as they sould be:

1. Angel of Berserk:

* "You don't have a gun at the start" (I'm not entirely sure about this one, can a native speaker among you please confirm?)
* "...large medkit and Large Healing Globe work on you..." (instead of 'works') - I'd suggest putting this sentence into plural altogether: "large medkits and LHGlobes work on you"

2. Angel of Marksmanship:

* USE anything else than a pistol

3. Angel of Haste:

* Sentence "Each down stairs takes you..." doesn't look good. Would "Each stairs down take you" be better?

That is more correct. You could also say, "You don't start with a gun." Either would be fine.

Quote
* "...large medkit and Large Healing Globe work on you..." (instead of 'works') - I'd suggest putting this sentence into plural altogether: "large medkits and LHGlobes work on you"

That is a good suggestion to pluralize the whole thing.

Quote
2. Angel of Marksmanship:

* USE anything else than a pistol

"Than" is correct, but perhaps the whole sentence should be rewritten as:

This challenge doesn't allow you to use any weapon other than a pistol (or two if you know how)!

Quote
3. Angel of Haste:

* Sentence "Each down stairs takes you..." doesn't look good. Would "Each stairs down take you" be better?

Good suggestion, "stairs down" reads better than "down stairs". I don't know about the pluralizing of "take" vs "takes", though. "Takes" you is probably the common use even though "take" may be proper English. Either would probably be fine.

Maybe you could just say "Each time you go down stairs you descend 2 levels instead of 1." Or something like that.

"Each" always takes a singular verb, so it would be "takes."

Although I don't know if you can say "each stairs," since that's really like saying "each apples."

It would be "each set of stairs" perhaps?

Stairs is a confusing word.  I'll ask my friend who's an English major. :/

Would "You start with no weapon (at all)" be even better? :-)

BTW, my (English-Czech) dictionary says that "stairs take you" is indeed proper English.

EDIT: Is every stairs correct, then? There MUST be a proper adjective for something so plural as stairs...
Title: Re: Typos
Post by: DaEezT on December 26, 2006, 17:24
'stairs down' or 'stairs leading down' are both correct.
'set of stairs' might be correct (not sure) but 'stairwell' would be better IMO.

That's right.  "The stairs take you."  The question is when you put "each" or "every" in front of it.

Quote from: Valkeera on December 26, 2006, 16:19

I don't think "every stairs" is correct.  I think it must be "every set of stairs."

Like "pants."  You can't say "every pants."  You must say "every pair of pants."  So, thinking about how pants is used in English, I think "every set of stairs takes you down" would be the most grammatically correct.

English is confusing. :)

The commas are needed, although the entire sentence is a bit awkward.  Maybe:

In 0.9.8.5. the game still has the word invunerable in stead of invulnerable in several places.

Also, the message you get after clearing the UC says 'after killing the AoD, ...' even if AoD was not the last opponent to die. Not really an error, but the message seems to appear a little late.
Title: Re: Typos
Post by: TFoN on May 04, 2007, 07:08
Not quite a typo, but when you pick up the BFG the message reads:
"HELL, NOW YOU"LL GET LOOSE!"

I'm not sure about the " where a ' should be, but my main concern is the "get". The prhase goes "all hell breaks/broke/will break loose", not "gets/got/will go", etc. IMO it should read "HELL, NOW YOU'LL BREAK LOOSE!". I know it's been this way for a long while, but I had never really given it any thought :)

Quote
You pick up 30 of shotgun shell

The pick up sentences are all really awkward.  Is it a pain to change it to "You pick up 30 shotgun shells." or "You found 46 rounds of 10mm ammo."?

Quote
You use a weapon damage mod. The weapon you're holding is already maximized with this mod!

This is applying a damage mod to a gun that has no damage mods already, but already has four mods.  I think I was expecting it to say something like "You can't use more than four mods on this weapon." (Insert other numbers as appropriate with levels of Whizkid.)

From the player file:

Quote
  To achieve Demon rank:
   -- kill a total 200 of demons
   -- kill a total 100 of enemies in melee
   -- kill a total 20 of demons in melee

It should be:

Quote
  To achieve Demon rank:
   -- kill 200 demons
   -- kill 100 enemies in melee
   -- kill 20 demons in melee

Or, if the total is needed, more like "kill a total of 200 demons"/"kill 200 demons total" and so on.

Hi, I’m playing 9.8.7 version of DoomRL (1) and I think I found some typos, though I admit my linguistic skills aren’t great (so my apologies if it’s all crap :-) ).

Reloader description:
First line – “The humanity!”. I’m not certain if I’m right on this but it doesn’t make much sense to me. Perhaps something along the lines of “The humility!” or “The humiliation!” was meant? :-S

Demon description:
First line – “You thought pink is cute?”. It seems to me like the tense of that sentence is a bit screwed. Something like “You thought pink was cute?” or “You think pink is cute?” would probably work. I would also suggest dropping the “You” in that sentence to sound more imperative – “Think pink is cute?”.

Arachnotron description:
First line – “Evil almost pure”. It reads to me like a contradiction as pure and evil suggest to me opposing imagery. Maybe “Evil, almost purely so” or “Almost pure evil” would be better. :-)

(1) Argh, sorry to start of with criticisms. The game’s great and has kept me from doing anything important for days. :p So sorry if I come of sounding negative.
Title: Re: Typos *puts on editor's cap*
Post by: DisaffectedBeta on July 18, 2007, 23:45
What was the context for the "humanity" quote?  I forget.

Your second idea is correct, the tenses need to match.

The third could easily be changed to "Evil, most pure," (like murder most foul).  "Almost pure evil" sounds good (though why not just say "pure evil?"  Is the Arachnotron subject to fits of kindness?), but "evil, almost purely so" lacks punch.

Don't worry about criticisms :)  Kornel's quite the gentleman.  He's made a good game, so I think he doesn't sweat the small stuff and really pays attention to suggestions.

It’s from the reloader trait description. The full thing goes as following “The humanity! My big gun is out of bullets! I can’t believe it!”. As a bit of extra nitpicking maybe “bullets” should be changed to “ammo” as the BFG, plasma rifle and rocket launcher don’t use bullets and I’d say they are pretty big guns ;-).

“Evil, most pure” still reads like a contradiction to me. In my head it makes “Evil, undefiled” plus the comma makes me want to add “3.95, limited addition, get it while in stock” :p. Something along the lines of “saturated” to replace “pure” might do the trick for me but if I’m the only one bothered by this then I guess it’s not necessary.

If I'm not mistaken this 'humanity' quote is taken straight from the Doom comic (http://doomworld.com/10years/doomcomic/) (which admittedly has some pretty schizoid monologue in it). ;)

Title: Re: Typos
Post by: DisaffectedBeta on July 19, 2007, 06:59
Well, if you just say bullets you have a specific image in your head, which I think is OK.  Often I go a bit nuts with the chaingun and find I've run out when in the middle of a running battle, and the reload skill comes in handy then.

I think the humanity thing works, because it's drawing from the Hindenberg disaster quote from the journalist who witnessed the crash.  Although it's not a huge tragedy :) "Oh, the humanity!"

Title: Re: Typos
Post by: Kornel Kisielewicz on July 19, 2007, 07:12
Yeah, the humanity is a direct quote, so it stays like it is. I like such word games anyway xP. As for monster descriptions, they were made up in one (not neccessarily sober) evening, so they basically are just there. If someone would like to come up with new ones, I'd be more than happy. Preferably in the spirit of Derek's and Malek's trait descriptions :). But I'll try to fix the mentioned typos for the next version.

"The humanity" is part of a quote taken from the Doom Comic, and as such would be diluted by alterations (because it would then no longer be a quote, and as fun).
Title: Re: Typos
Post by: bleak on July 28, 2007, 12:21
As a native English speaker some of the sentences in the game read very strangely to me.

Here's how the Arena text appears:

Code: [Select]
Game loaded. Welcome to the Doom Roguelike... A devilish voice out of
nowhere announces: "Welcome to Hell's Arena mortal!" "You are either
very foolish, or very brave. Either way I like it!" "And so do the crowds!"
Suddenly you hear screams everywhere! : "Blood! Blood! BLOOD!" The
voice booms again "Kill all enemies and I shall reward thee!"
Here's how I think it should appear:

Code: [Select]
Game loaded. Welcome to the Doom Roguelike! A devilish voice
announces, "Welcome to Hell's Arena, mortal!" -more-
"You are either very foolish, or very brave. Either way I like it!" -more-
"And so do the crowds!" Suddenly you hear screams everywhere! -more-
"Blood! Blood! BLOOD!" The voice booms again "Kill all enemies and I shall reward thee!"
Pointing out the fact that the voice comes out of nowhere strikes me as rather redundant, as using the word 'voice' without attaching any sort of specific pronoun or name inherently gives it the quality of being disembodied. Adding to that, separating multiple speaking parts using " " doesn't really work that well unless you insert a line break, see novels etc. for reference.

In all instances where the voice is speaking, it seems that this syntax is used: 'The voice booms : "!"' where it should be 'The voice booms, "!"'. 'You hear screams everywhere! : "Blood!"' changes to 'You hear screams everywhere! "Blood!'. There are a ton of such typos in the Arena.

Past that, some of the trait descriptions bother me. Here's Finesse, for example.

Code: [Select]
Have you heard of an itchy trigger
 finger? Yours are itchier than the
 chicken pox, and because of that you
 can squeeze out a round of fire 10%
 faster with every trait level you
 advance.
Where to me, it should read like this:

Code: [Select]
Have you heard of an itchy trigger
 finger? Yours are itchier than the
 chicken pox, and because of that you
 can fire rounds 10% faster with every
 level of this trait.
Fixed redundancy issues and cleaned up the sentence structure a bit.

Son of a Bitch is also a bit misleading:

Code: [Select]
because you do 1 more damage every level than your average marine.
Should be something like this:

Code: [Select]
because with every level of this trait, you do 1 more damage than your average Marine.
Son of a gun reads "at top condition", should be "in top condition".

Might I also suggest that the names of the armors be changed to "Light Armor", "Combat Armor", "Megaarmor"? That's pretty much what they're called in DooM.

Well, that's it for now. I'll come back sometime later with more probably.

In the AoD description "harbringer" should be "harbinger".

Also, when you exit The Wall without killing all the enemies, it says "Hearing them scream soothens the soul...";
"soothens" should be "soothes".

(PS: I love this game.)

edit:

Additionally in the JC description it says "...word lof mercy..."; it should be "...word of mercy...".
