I'm starting to go through the bug database to fix up misc. text bugs. Other than Loading Screen bugs (separate thread for that), what text bugs annoy you most? I'm talking about grammatical, spelling, boxes in place of punctuation, etc. Please give as much detail as you can to help me locate these guys in the text tool.


(Please note, I have no programming skills to speak of, so this "low level" task is not taking away from any designer fixing the top issues).


Thanks for the second set of eyes.




When I tried to place a fusion generator within city limits, I receiveda message saying that the mayor or the city militia needed to grants rights. Militia is spelled incorrectly in the message....miltia, I believe.

While attempting to teach someone who cannot learn anything new, there's a " (also known as a quote) at the end of the sentence. It's the biggest pet peeve of mine.

This is a pretty minor text error, but for some reason it bugs me.


When you try to harvest resources from a dead creature from 20m away, it gives the correctmessage of "You are too far away .... " However, when you are 15-20m away, it gives the message "You cannot do that in your current state" The exact wording may be a little different (I'm not in the game) but it should be pretty close.


Stupid I know...but never-the-less a text bug. Sorry if I'm being too picky.

The only text bug that comes to mind is one that I see fairly frequently due to style of gameplay.


I use a macro for looting. The macro is designed to both loot and harvest the corpse all at the same time. The macro uses the /loot and /harvest commands. When I run this macro on an NPC corpse, I get a message in response to the /harvest command that tells me I can't harvest the corpse of '%TT', rather than the name of the corpse.

When I type the / key then the command, every single time it ends up going behind the command, forcing me to retype it, which then works the 2nd time..

VERY irritating.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet:


Every time I try to Exit my Swoop bike, it first gives the option of Enter Vehecle andvice versain the radial menue.So I have to choose 'Enter' from the radial menuefirst (Although I'm already riding it) and endure a message that says "you cannot enter anything while mounted". I have toclick the radial menue for the second time to actually be able todismount.


Please fix this a it is very annoying.


Thanks

OK, I know this makes almost no difference, but why do the names for fiberplast change? Some are "Tatooinian" and some are "Correlia"? Either or please, not both. My preference would be "Correlia" not "Correlian".
