All being descriptions should now be typo free.
All instances of "an" instead of "a" for grammar (with monsters).
So... do i get an internet cookie ? :DSure! Here, use this
Just a general note - I try to adhere to US english.I've studied in the US for three years of my life, and I still write the way I write.
One a side note, I've somewhat changed the manual a bit already. I'll take a look at it again shortly.If you think an editor would help the process, I'd be glad to take a look at the revised copy (that is, if there's an easy way to send it). Again, the focus would be on syntactic and semantic edits, but I could whip up entirely new descriptions at request.
Another one that's been nagging at me for years:lol that's kinda like a literal translation from Dutch, "Je hebt niet genoeg plaats in je rugzak".
"You don't have enough place in your backpack." should be "You don't have enough space in your backpack."
Getting Started, p38: Uniques -> Unique; (I'm just going to rewrite this while keeping the message clear.) "The rarest and most powerful type of items. Most are fantastic upgrades to their common counterparts, and some carry very interesting properties, including regeneration, penetration, and absolute destruction. Unique items can only be encountered by chance, although certain special levels have a higher chance of one appearing. Modding a unique depends on the specific item involved."
I'm quite sure that no unique can be modded. The reason exotics were added was to make the not-so-fantastic moddable uniques a bit more common and in a defined class of their own.
Cybernetic Armour (like normal armour) and Railgun (once only, irrespective of whizkid) can be modded. Perhaps others can?In addition, Railgun allows for a single modification to it. (Although I suppose this could be a bug.) Not really sure about the others, although it's true that the modding capabilities of all uniques together are really low. I would revise my original statement to say the following: "Allowed modifications on unique items are exceedingly rare, though this is to be expected for items of such high quality."
Generic McDoomguy, level XX [Insert XP rank here] [Insert Badges rank here], couldn't evade a revenant's fireball
Not that much of a typo, but I guess we all already know that Revs fire seeker missiles and not fireballs.That one's lifted directly from Doom 2 though, so I think it should be left as it is.
Upon entering The Mortuary it says: "Can this be real?? The floor is is covered by blood...""Covered in blood" would be even better.
Moreover, I think it should be "covered with blood".
"Covered in blood" would be even better.Or "Can this be real?? This is one bloody floor..."
You guess the Arachnotrons had to come from somewhere. Hi, mom. She doesn't have a plasma gun, so thank heaven for small favors. Instead, she has a super-chaingun.
In general there is no obvious way to tell what kind of damage a particular enemy deals. I think this information should be readily available somehow.Consistent use of colour could communicate this effectively, say white for bullet, brown for fire, green for acid and blue for energy. Most projectiles follow this already, but not all.
With Intuition, you can see levers with "Force explosion (here)", but they kill the barrels in the whole level.
There is a lever (forces explosions) here.
Not really a typo, but I've noticed that the player is always called 'he'. Somehow I doubt there are very many, but it would be nice to be able to adress the female players properly.
And Dualgunners always "left with two girls."That doesn't automatically mean it's a man :p
I feel like a jerk for even pointing it out, especially given how many English-as-a-second-language folks we have involved in the project. In any case, there you have it.
Now you've got to sit around and wait for your squadmates, who are supposed to check out what happened on", Phobos.
Also, not sure that it should go here, but, GateKeeper bronze badge tells me to reach Hell, but I got it after reaching Deimos.The old GK bronze was reaching Hell through the Hellgate, so it's likely that the description hasn't been changed.
"There is a steel boots <blah> lying here."
Should be either "There are steel boots <blah> lying here" or "There is a pair of steel boots <blah> lying here".
Pretty much same applies to all other boots.
2 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.
Game saved. Press <Enter> to exit. Press <Enter>...
I think, words "Press Enter" should not be repeated.
Player and Score backup.
To control the amount of files see PlayerBackups and ScoreBackups variables in doomrl.ini.
Should be config.lua.
Asking first was clearly an accident. Bug fixed :)Someone is in for quite a shock.
Please make that 'Contemplate AAoRA'; would make for another badge I can actually earn :)

Danke.
In conclusion, you don't call people "it." :)Sure. But we're talking about souls, not people. Souls ain't people.
In the Doomrl Hall of Fame, Archangel of 666 runs are recognized as A100 runs."Not a bug/typo" -- Calling it "ArchAngel of 100" and then giving it 666 levels is even more ridiculous than just using Ao100 as the game marker.
To achieve 2nd Lieutenant rank:
-- aquire a total of 9 Silver badges
