It seems that because people don't see us do it, there's a feeling that sometimes we don't look at the typo board. Well, just to let you know we do! New board to keep you up to date on all our typos that have been fixed so you know that Yes, we ARE working for you. :)

Nice work, Kvetch.
But wouldn't it be great if there was a command to remove a typo rapport from the typo file after you fixed it?
Coders? is it possible?
-
It would be nice, yes, but even if that was put in it wouldn't show the people that play that we're working, which is what this board is for. It would also probably make it so the typo file didn't fill up so quickly when we have people like Acridia and how some previous players used to be that send so many. ONce it fills up it takes time to get someone to archive the file to open it up again, which means we probably do miss a few typos.
-
I can manually delete the entries from the typo file itself. Diandra might know another way. But I can at least clear out the ones Kvetch did.
Maybe Once or Molzilla can add an command. I know Molz is playing around with lisp so it might be able to do it. I would ask Molz to see if it is possible.

Today's Typo Fixes:
Acridia - Apr 16 - 599 : room description - 3rd sentence - 'scrupulous' should be 'scrupulously'.
Acridia - Apr 16 - 12982 : in this room, when I 'look east', it says (last sentence) to "Look Sign" - sho
uld be "Look Notice"
Acridia - Apr 16 - 12984 : in this room, when I type 'look tray', 1st sentence, "Schools" should be "School's".
Acridia - Apr 17 - 12901 : 'help task' - 2nd sentence - 'doll' should be 'dole'.
Acridia - Apr 17 - 3100 : keyword in room desc - when I 'look space', 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence, 'Space Sport' should be 'Space Port'.
Calypso - Apr 29 - 3001 : wtf snafoo should be spelled snafu
Destiny - Apr 29 - 3001 : i can page offline people.
Acridia - Apr 30 - 2380 : in this room, when I type 'look up', I see 'Some slippery steps lead up to the
poer above.' - 'poer' should be 'pier'.
Mardo - Apr 30 - 28463 : You junk a slender dagger . Extra space there.
Mardo - Apr 30 - 3001 : Once stops using Snowbird's wedding gown of delicate ivory rose-figured brocade delicately ornamented with pink satin roses. . Extra space there
I got bored so went back to see if there were some earlier ones that needed to be done and I found some.
-
I never deleted them. If you do them in order, it's easy to know which one was the last one that you fixed. (Providing you don't leave any unfixed.)
When the file was full I asked it to be moved and replaced by an empty file. The way it is setup now, I think that's the best solution instead of wasting time to delete what has been fixed and what not with the risk of deleting the wrong ones.
-
But the problem is when more than one person is doing the typo file. I rarely did any unless I was on when they were entered because I didn't want to confuse anyone else working on them - which is what I thought someone else was doing.

Today's Typo Fixes:
*Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : in this room 'say info maps' - 1st sentence '...Different parts of Main grid,.
..' should be '...different parts of Main grid,...'.
Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : 'help spaceship' - paragraph below 2nd '*', '...stored in the Spacewship computer.' - 'Spacewship' should be 'Spaceship'.
Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : in this room 'say info operate', under 'FLY', 'maneouver' should be 'maneuver'.
**Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : in this room 'look checklist' shows a list of words to say to get info, 'say i
nfo spacegrid' and 'say info communicate' do not work. 'spacegrid' gives generic newbie 'info' and 'communicate' gives nothing.
***Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : in this room 'look checklist' - under 'info COORDINATES' - 'spacestations' should be 'space stations'. Also under 'info COMBAT' - 'misslile' should be 'missile'.
*Acridia - May 1 - 38338 : in this room 'say info maps', 4th line 'With yourself in the middle.' should b
e 'with'.
*Acridia - May 1 - 8215 : while in a spaceship, typing 'say info poon', the first letter of each line is
capitalized - is this intentional or a typo?
* = This is a common problem with scripts giving information like this. Every line that uses %echo% capitalizes the first letter of the line – whether you do it or not in the script. The script is typed right, it’s just the problem with %echo%.
** Seems that spacegrid was actually gridspace in the trigger – I switched to spacegrid so it should work now. There was no trigger for communicate, so I took that line out. If any information or communicate is put in later, the line can be re-added.
*** Seems to be fixed, but not by me. Someone else must have done it – or I didn’t find these errors – could happen, I seem to have a blind spot these days with typos.
-
I think the easiest way to do this is to make a new typo file so it isn't as huge as before so we can keep it under control.
I will make a backup just in case like I always do.

Todays Typo Fixes:
Acridia - May 2 - 3109 : in this room, when I type 'look old', line 13w - 'Buffalo Bills's Circus' should be "Bill's".
Acridia - May 2 - 3109 : in this room, when I 'look 13w', 2nd paragraph, last sentence, 'monkies' should be 'monkeys'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14707 : room description - last sentence, '...give you the creep, ...' should be 'cree
ps'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14725 : room desc - next to last sentence "...you know its wrong." should be it's
Acridia - May 2 - 14728 : room description - next to last sentence, "its" should be "it's
Acridia - May 2 - 14726 : in this room, mob, room description 'A small cat sleeps under the seat.', when I 'look cat', '...and didn't noticed that...' - 'noticed' should be 'notice'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14731 : room description, 3rd sentence 'Hay!!' should be 'Hey!!'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14730 : room description, next to last sentence, "its" should be "it's".
Acridia - May 2 - 14734 : room description, 3rd sentence 'Hay!!' should be 'Hey!!'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14733 : room description, next to last sentence, "its" should be "it's".
Acridia - May 2 - 14736 : room description, 3rd sentence 'Hay!!' should be 'Hey!!'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14735 : room description, next to last sentence, "its" should be "it's".
Acridia - May 2 - 14739 : room description, 3rd sentence, 'Hay!!' should be 'Hey!!'.
Acridia - May 2 - 14738 : room description, next to last sentence, "its" should be "it's".
Acridia - May 2 - 21385 : room description, 1st sentence, '...row of pens;reserved just for...' - should
be '...row of pens; reserved for...'.
** While fixing this one saw that reserved was actually spelled wrong too – so fixed that as well. Yay! I can still find typos.
-
Seems it would be best that those that are fixed are removed from the list. So Prom if you're up to doing this. :)
And maybe talk with Molzilla indeed to make a better system to remove fixed typoes, so it's easier to see which ones still need fixing.
-
Kvetch, do you have access to "tedit"? If so I can hack something up with it that will let you remove typos that have already been dealt with.
-
Don't think any typo-fixer has access to it. Ah but seeing what it does, it would be a perfect solution.
Edit: on second thoughts, seeing there's some things in there typofixers shouldn't have access too, ain't it possible to make something like tedit but that is only connected with the typofile?
-
tedit - no, I do not have it.
Typos for today:
Acridia - May 2 - 10004 : 'help scalp' 2nd sentence 'The corpse will decay, leaving all it in contents o
n the floor...' maybe should be '...leaving all of its contents on the floor...'?
Acridia - May 3 - 10009 : 'help manipulate', 2nd sentence, '...it will be to heavy to...', should be '..
.it will be too heavy to...'.
Acridia - May 3 - 3140 : room description, 1st sentence, 'everyting' should be 'everything'.
Acridia - May 4 - 3199 : room description, last sentence, 'natures' should be "nature's".
Acridia - May 5 - 21378 : 'help manipulate', last sentence '...it will be to heavy to...' should be '...
it will be too heavy to...'
I see Acridia thought I'd missed her first posting of Manipulate so thought she needed to put it in again. ;) This time I fixed it so there will not be a third time. *mwahahaha*
-
We could do that, or we could make the things that typofixers shouldn't have access to require a higher level than just the trust associated with it. Editing the MOTD or IMOTD would obviously be pretty much an imp only task. Most of the others are straightforward though. Send me a PM or an email on what you'd like to restrict.

***This is how deeds were coded in. Prometheus has now explained this in a note and on the Recall board.
**** I sent a note to Molly about this one. I could see why the sailor may have the name spelled wrong on his map so I’m not sure it’s not supposed to be that way.

-
That's not really breaking the deed system. At best it's gaming personal deeds based on deeds not requiring at least clan_rank 1 to put. The real benefit of deeds is in the clan bonuses anyway.
-
I have actually been keeping up on these, but since there were so few, I didn't post them when I did them. Here are the last few days fixes and notes on ones I couldn't do.
Mardo - May 11 - 3001 : Calypso is pushed to the down by Bane. - SEEMS LIKE GOOD ENGIRSH

- It’s a) the difference between what’s being sent to the player (you) and what’s being sent to the room (others), so it only seemed like it worked fine when you were by yourself. The %echoaround%’s were using %actor% instead of %actor.name% which is why the numbers and not the name. So, builder’s remember that difference.
Mardo - Jun 20 - 3001 : Clan deed for Sutter Mill and Mines, Coloma River Valley -- It's not named like others. For example, Clan deed for Mirkheim Castle - By Lanseril
- that would be because Solona didn’t put her name in the name of the zone. There are a few other zones like this as well.

I'd let it ride.
It is actually a quote from some old Egyptian inscription, and the typo - if it is a typo - is also in the source.
My guess is that it might mean "ebony wood", since that's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense in the context.
Although it's a weird typo.
Perhaps there was some tree called mry in those days, who knows?

I took a month off and it seems Rynald decided he had to prove me wrong on the "not many typos left" statement. He had a bit of help, but was mostly him. Didn't have time to do many today, but will continue to work on them until they (and the ones you're currently doing) are done. Here's what I got.

I've been quite a bit lax in doing typos, please forgive me and don't whip me with that wet noodle... Over time I'll try to catch up by working the file backwards, but don't expect I'll get both ends met. If you find a typo please report it.
Here are the recent fixes:
Sun - Jan 12 - 3010 : In help file 65, "/s on a new line to safe what you have written" replace 'saf
e' with 'save'
Sun - Jan 12 - 17560 : On the Death Star, in the Information Center, last sentence "Although if your
try..." should be "Although if you try..."
Sun - Jan 12 - 3109 : In 20w San Francisco Harbour, "Unfortunately many of the ships never read thei
r intended destination." should be "...reach their intended destination."
Sun - Jan 12 - 38322 : In the Space Port turbo lift level 4, 'say map' indicates that the Esper Guild
is to the east. It should be Docking Bay 11.
Sun - Jan 12 - 38347 : The room description for Space Port Docking Bay 17 says that it's the bay for
The Explorer (Titanic). This Bay should be destination not yet determined. The Explorer docks at Docking Bay 7.

Sun - Jan 7 - 3109 : In 'help gringos' second sentence, "While this my be true..." my should be may

Sun - Jan 7 - 22859 : In the golf course room 'In a Hallway Leading To The Locker Rooms' when you 'l
ook east' the message "Thw women's locker room..." should be 'The...'
Sun - Jan 8 - 3031 : In help order, second sentence, "You can't order them of..." should be "if..."
Sun - Jan 11 - 6499 : iN 'HELP SCAN', SECOND PARAGRAPH, "... ALLOWS YOU TO PEAK INTO THE CLOSESST RO
OM..." PEAK SHOULD BE PEEK
-
I've not been keeping up with listing the typo changes, some of which was because I came across some I thought could easily be used to figure out some quests. But, seeing as I don't know quests.. who knows. ;) I figured these were safe and I'll try to get back to regularly posting them again.
Zalyn - Jul 12 - 23127 : looking south from this room, it says "Yo'd have to find a place where it is l

Zalyn - Jul 12 - 7818 : if you look down in this room, it says 'If you go wown there...' wown should b

Zalyn - Jul 13 - 7891 : the description of the Hoe item in this room says 'crush a man's scull' scull

Kesi - Jul 13 - 17813 : A dagger found in the donatioon room says fisrt rather than first class weapon
.
<ok.. I am not going through 4 pages of "dagger" to figure out which one this is - full name of item would give me a better hint. If someone else finds this typo, can you report it? Thanks>
Lharc - Jul 13 - 19660 : @utopia:The South Entrance To Utopia City Park, 'and a sigh is attached to the
right hand fence.', *sign
<this is a Utopia thing, so leaving it for Molly - she says she's going to do them>
Kesi - Jul 14 - 3004 : in the Token helpfile there is no space between token and machine and I think
there should be?
Althea - Jul 14 - 14701 : in the first room of the circus near Dodge it should be excited in the description instead it says exiting.
Lazav - Jul 14 - 3001 : Suddenly, with a bright flash, Phlag vanishes --- needs a period. happens when

Althea - Jul 14 - 3001 : in the automeld helpfile it says all you need to do is wear your cloths again

Loran - Jul 15 - 70902 : missing north look description "nothing special here"
Loran - Jul 15 - 70902 : looking east and west claim to have more tables, is this an expansion?</td></t
r></table>
***
All of Loran's above: The Casino and that area is Calypso's new house so it doesn't actually have a bar - it just looks like one. When Stile checked, he could get both the slots and craps to work. I thought there may have been an issue since they're actually room scripts and not object scripts but they work in the place they came from. I'm assuming they're just making it look larger than it is with the east and west descriptions.
***
Phlag - Jul 15 - 28476 : the word "surpriced" is misspelled.
Zalyn - Jul 16 - 6675 : if you look east in this room, you see "...But you can see a beautifuk mermaid
reclining there." obviously beautifuk should be beautiful
Phlag - Jul 16 - 28462 : Is a tree meant to grow in this shop?
***
I guess since it's flagged wilderness a tree can. Besides it is in the Elven metropolis. Of course elves would have trees in their shop... *innocent look*
***
Phlag - Jul 16 - 28460 : Amalith has a misspelled word when you ask her what is wrong, the word reconst
ruct is spelled wrong.
Lharc - Jul 17 - 19685 : The Utopia Herald Reception, Obvious exits, North - The Editors Office utf-8/
latin1 problem?
***
I couldn't repeat this problem so couldn't correct. Besides, it's Utopia, Molly can deal with it. ;)
***
Lharc - Jul 18 - 6625 : "Professor Rich is looking you over suspiciously." => "oversuspiciously." ? no
t sure
***
No.. I'm sure he's looking at you suspiciously and he's probably looking you over from head to toe, so over suspiciously would be correct.
***
-
Lharc - Jul 17 - 19685 : The Utopia Herald Reception, Obvious exits, North - The Editors Office utf-8/
latin1 problem?
***
I couldn't repeat this problem so couldn't correct. Besides, it's Utopia, Molly can deal with it. ;)
***
Hmm, at least MY descs had the apostrophe in the correct place in "Editor's Office". Can I typo report a typo report? :P
I have no idea what Lharc means by "utf-8/latin1 problem?", do you?
I couldn't reproduce the error either, but I found something else totally weird in the adjoining room, while looking north - a grubby child playing in the dirt.
The child had no business being in that room, it wasn't reset there by mistake, and both rooms are flagged !mob, so how on earth did the brat get there?
Sometimes this mud is just plain... weird...
-
Estidn - Jul 20 - 25666 : This room's look north description says you can see several men north, but when you open the door there are females.
Estidn - Jul 20 - 25663 : This room look north, describes men, but female mobs
Phlag - Jul 20 - 19136 : the mob in here is a woman, the desc says this women, it should be this woman.
Phlag - Jul 20 - 19139 : the mob wife, has women in the desc, it should be woman?

Phlag - Jul 20 - 19122 : the mob wife, has women in the desc, it should be woman?
Phlag - Jul 20 - 19121 : the mob wife, has women in the desc, it should be woman?
Lharc - Jul 22 - 502 : The Practice Room, look sign, doesn't turn off white color
Lharc - Jul 22 - 563 : The Baseball Locker Room, magic baseball bat?
Lharc - Jul 22 - 563 : The Baseball Locker Room, sign talks about a mob?
**
Not sure what the issue is with the above two typo reports. The baseball bat is wand – showing newbies going through the mud school that any object can be anything. The sign talks about the mob that is in the room that you need to kill to get the key... what's the typo/problem?
**
Lharc - Jul 22 - 564 : any of those three commands might ... its four commands if BEHIND is counted as well.
**
I'm not finding any reference to three commands in this room. I even tried looking at everything and stated the triggers. Where is this typo actually from?
**
Tamyrlin - Jul 22 - 35032 : I think the mutaded bluebottles in this area are supposed to be mutaTed!</td></tr></table>
**
After I started fixing these (multiple vnums) I thought “Maybe they're supposed to be mutaded since they're mutated....” hehe I still fixed them all so now even though they're part of Utopia Outside so now Molly doesn't have to since she's busy with other things.
**
Estidn - Jul 22 - 25691 : Typo on a script that says The lunatic sidles over to you, licking your cheek. Should probably say slides
**
Nope, I actually looked up sidle because I was sure it was a word:
si·dle
[sahyd-l] Show IPA verb, si·dled, si·dling, noun
verb (used without object)
1.
to move sideways or obliquely.
2.
to edge along furtively.
**
Lharc - Jul 23 - 1729 : exa A construction worker --> "He wears large steal-toed.." change-to: steel-toed
Lazav - Jul 23 - 3001 : Calypso seems to be spening a lot of time thinking about a booger. - what emote is this, obvious typo
**
If anyone can tell me which social this is, I would appreciate it so much I'd fix the typo.
**
Phlag - Jul 23 - 21890 : Was told by a mob that gave hints to come here and look in the wishing well, for something great, I have, but nothing in the well, I don't have the ability to throw coins in thw well, so, I tried toss, drop flip etc, nothing would work.
**
As an IMM, I see the issue, but there is no error here. Perhaps you can find a player to give you a hint or two as it doesn't seem to be part of a quest. I also wasn't able to do this as a mort, so I don't feel I should give the hint out.

The above 46 typos is why the note went out to please use typo for real things that an IMM has to deal with went out, all you're doing when you use it for stupid stuff like that is fill up the typo file which will be needed as the new zones go in – and obviously for the older zones too – and Utopia still has quite a few typos out there it seems.

Just so you know, with Tocharaeh's new zone going in, I'm not going to be able to post typos until after the zone is open - I don't want to let any quest secrets to be accidentally released.
-
I believe the typo file is all fixed. So feel free to fill it up again.
-
The typo file had been full for almost a month and a half, but it finally got cleaned out. As far as I know all typos are currently fixed so if you find one, feel free to report it - again if need be. And please, only on mobs, objects, rooms and scripts, I can't fix anyone's player descriptions or notes (yes, someone just did a typo report on a note) or even stuff on the website that isn't mine so leave those out of the typo file. If we had less of the stuff we can't do anything about, we'd stop filling up the typo file so quickly.
-
I believe that as of this morning, Sunday, February 23rd - noon EST, all of the typos have been fixed. If you find another, feel free to typo report it. If you are told the typo file is full, please send a note to Molly and Kvetch and we'll spank the people that need to empty it out.

Good job, Kvetch.
It is nice to know that the typos are fixed, since we are planning to enter a new zone very soon, and that usually fills it up fast. :)
-
I believe that as of this morning of April, 27th 2014, all entries in the typo file have been fixed (other than Rynald's crash report that will have to be looked into by someone else).

So that Kvetch can keep track:
Typoes reported till 1st of June have been fixed.
Xcept some in the Table Round Clan but those will be given to someone else. :)

Last fixed typoes were those from 06 of June and before.
