Title: Minor typos and bugs
Post by: miriya on July 22, 2014, 04:18:45 AM

I've now finished playing through the game with all three classes, although it's clear that there are things I still haven't found.  Thank you so much for making such a wonderful world for me to explore!  I kept some notes of minor typos and bugs I found while playing.  Instead of putting each in a separate topic, I'm just going to list them below. 

TYPOS:

Spoiler (hover to show)

The description of the bee has "disturbed it's hive" when it should be "its"

Clicking the eye on the sign in the garden in the Tyr apartment screen has quaint mistyped as "quiant"

When asking Voleris about Volksville, the text says "bridge north" but she says "bridge to the north".  There are a few places in the game where the text and voice don't quite match up and it's perfectly fine, but this one seemed a bit jarring to me.

I have a note for "it's precious" but I failed to write down where that one came from.  I don't know if it's possible to do a search for text in AGS, but the next word may have been "victories".  This is what I get for scribbling notes on random scraps of paper.  If I find it again, I'll post more details.

When saying goodbye to Ian after talking to him for the first time in the Thieves' Den, the voice says, "They'll always let you know what they've decided" but the text says "what they decided".  It's minor, but noticeable.

There seems to be an extra space in the text between "A" and "bold lie" when you talk to Rayford for the first time.

When fighting the beast at the start of the game, if it kills you, the line about saying one last "your mother" joke has a double quote on one side and a single quote on the other.

When breaking into the Mayor's house and finding the 1000 blys underneath the stone, the message says "1000 blys underneat" without the "h"

After roughing up Randy, when he gives you the directions through the maze, the text says "the go west" instead of "then go west"

At the end of the game when Roehm is talking to Kayanna, he says "Even I know that gem ain't worth it's trouble".  "it's" should be "its"

When trying a random item on the Kyser tree, there's an apostrophe missing from "That wont work on the tree"

MINOR LABELLING ISSUES:

Spoiler (hover to show)

When you get the sleeping powder from the master thief, the description given by the eye icon says "It's the sleeping powder you got from Jerrod", when that's not true.  Is there a way to get sleeping powder from Jerrod?

When you put the glowing fungus in the jar for capturing the fireflies, the popup message banner says "fireflies and fungus" even though you haven't caught the fireflies yet.

If you meet Voleris in front of Tyr for the first time while the city is closed, Roehm tells her she can call him whatever she likes, but doesn't give her his name.  After he says he'll come back when it's convenient, she says "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Roehm".  She shouldn't know his name at this point.  Almost every time you speak to her afterward she simply calls Roehm "Sir", except when flirting with her in the streets, then she seems to know Roehm's name as well.  It makes sense for her to know his name after she brings him to see the mayor, but not before.

I believe it's been mentioned before, but when you click the eye on Hummel's diary before you know it's plot-relevant, the narrator says "It's a door, you just need to walk through it".  (this one sent me into a fit of giggles)

Looking at the moonshine in your inventory says "Marlon gave you this free sample of moonshine" when I actually just picked it up off the ground after trying to kill him.

MINOR BUGS:

Spoiler (hover to show)

At night, clicking on the balcony in Tyr says I could use a rope or chain to climb up.  The climbing gear works perfectly fine, but the chain always gives me the "you can't do that now, you don't want to go to jail" message regardless of whether there are people on the screen or not.

Sometimes the bagpipe player shows up outside Rayford's house at night.

The pot in the first screen in Volksville always says "That's a good idea, but not right now" when I click on it regardless of my class.  I don't get any indication of when or how it's meant to be used.

Voleris knows his name because she knows EVERYTHING.  She is very astute, and always has her ear to the grindstone.  Her agents told her of Mr. Roehm before he even got there.

I can accept that she knows his name from the get-go, but HE doesn't know that she knows his name.  The exchange when she orders him to come to the mayors house has him react quite strongly to her knowing his name when he hasn't given it to her.  If he's going to react that way, then it should either happen right at the start when he meets her and she uses his name, or she should hide the fact she knows his name to make the "come to see the mayor" scene consistent.  It sticks out also because he reacts strongly to Rayford knowing his name, and even

Kayanna makes the point of how much it sucks when someone who seems to be a stranger knows more.

I know it's a tough thing to address because you're not going to re-record voice lines, but perhaps the "Mr. Roehm" can be edited out of the end of that line and it'll still sound resolved, or perhaps a line like "Thank you, sir" could be used in its place.

Well, the Voleris thing aside--


Holy crap, great list.  Thanks for doing that!  I'm going to make one big report in our bug-tracking software that just directs our programmers straight to this thread.  ;)

You're welcome!  I've had a small break before my new job starts next month, and I was happy to spend some time on such a wonderful game.  I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

Sorry to belabor the Voleris thing.  It just stuck out to me.  Perhaps I'm the only one who noticed!

No worries!  You're right, of course.  But at this point I don't think we're able to get most of the voice actors back for re-records (unless they're very glaring issues.)  The narrator is really the only one we're easily able to re-record, because he's a team member.  :)

I couldn't imagine trying to set up for a re-record even if the actors were available!  That's above and beyond bug-fixing and patching.  That's why I was thinking about a sound wizard editing a pre-existing line or dropping in a line that'd work in its place.  I really should have put it down as a wish-list item instead of a bug!

We could get the actor for Ned O'King back easily enough, I'm sure. But it seems that his lines were delivered perfectly and won't require any updates.  ;D

I'd say it's easy enough to get a hold of the actors which were recorded remotely.
 
It's the actors which were recorded in studio which is harder to organise because of the need to organise the studio :P

I heard that the actor who played Ned O'King once derailed a train and ate it piece by piece. FOR CHARITY!

I heard he has a shitload of news lines to record that IQ haven't told him about yet!

are they going to record the scream of anguish when someone tells him about the new lines too?
