Edited description files

**CaesarVincens** · February 28, 2009, 12:58 AM

Hey Chivalry fans,

I just wanted to give a quick contribution to one of the best RTW mods around. So I thought I'd clean up the text description files a bit for version 1.0, save DaVinci and crew a spot of work.

Anyway, if you'd like to use these, download and copy or drag into your data folder.

Right now it's not much, basically I just fixed (that is removed) some initial spaces. I might do some more later, but the life of a college student leaves little time for gaming.

Thank you CeasarVincens. Fans should know that editing the textfiles is not "quick" in anyway. It is the equivalent of hard labour. I edited some buildingdescriptios and it took me a week. It is especially welcome since we have very few english "natives" working the mod. I know that you are busy with your own mod (XC in XGM-forum) but if you feel like temporary leaving your greek shed for some more "quick contributions" in the future you are most welcome.

Please rep this man and download his mod

Thank you for your kind words, Athenogoras.

But truly this particular work took me just a few minutes (thank goodness for the "search and replace" function!), but more in-depth editing does take much work. I do hope I can out help more, Chivalry is truly a mod worthy of the work.

So, if anyone notices any typos or other errors (that's the hard part really), feel free to post them here, and I'll see about fixing them.

CV, thanks a lot for your efforts (i assume you always make a live-test before you offer files, right?).
Please make still a note in your first post, that the files there are for version 1.0.

However, please wait a bit, because i'm working still on some text folder files, in case you wanna make more.
If you would like to make a cosmetic revision, if my changes are finished (for patch 1.1), then i would pm you with those files prior to a release (you would appear of course in the official credits then).

I would love to help, DaVinci, but I really can't do any sort of comprehensive editing right now. I can help if people spot errors for me, as I said before, that is the hard part, but I can't take the time to go looking right now. Thank you for the offer though.

It's funny, but I only really started to get into modding RTW after I did some proof-reading for XGM.

I know you are involved anyway in other mods etc..

However, we have not the member resources to look for everything that could still deserve a workover, so some things won't be fixed probably.

( Why is it always the case that a huge mod project ends up on about max. 2 active members mainly?

)

I know you don't have the resources to dedicate to looking for files, if you could spare the time, so could I. I never meant to imply that you should go looking for them.
I merely meant that if you happen to come across any (or if any players should), you (or they) could let me know and I would fix them. If I know what I'm looking for/fixing, I can do it very quickly.

As to lack of active members, it's probably because dedicated modders can't have a real life to any extent.

what is this .its not clear

**CaesarVincens** · March 07, 2009, 08:00 PM

This is the four main text description files, which I made minor edits to.

It's nothing important, but it will make building, unit, trait, and ancillary descriptions slightly better.

**DaVinci** · March 07, 2009, 08:28 PM

But unfortunately i can't take them for 1.1 because i worked on these files in the same time as you made the described cosmetic changes. I would be glad if you can make the same deals with these files if they are finished content-wise for 1.1.

**Alavaria** · March 07, 2009, 10:29 PM

Can't you have someone look at the files and make the corrections/cosmetic changes to the updated one? If they carefully log what they changed, it should work fine. You'll just need to check the changelog and make sure none of CV's changes overwrote anything you did.

Those are .txt files, right? Shouldn't be too large an issue to check for differences between the two files

**CaesarVincens** · March 08, 2009, 07:06 PM

It's easier than that. I can tell you all the changes I made, because I made only one change to each file, and that was to replace any space before names with a tab. All I did was do a search and replace set to find "} " and replace it with "}'tab'" (you have to copy a tab to get it to work). At this point I didn't make any other changes, but even if I had, like Alvaria said, it most likely wouldn't be too hard to check the differences with a text comparison program.
