Title: Steadfast Episode One: REL-ehm,grammar checking.
Post by: Mobius on December 22, 2006, 04:17:24 pm
The episode isn't over yet but now,during the Christmas holidays,I have a chance of completing it.  ;7

As you know we are all Italians in the team and we need grammar checkers.  :doubt:

Since Episode One is very big(25 missions full of messages+the biggest Species tbl ever seen)one grammar checker isn't enough. I think that two or three should be ok.  :rolleyes:

The grammar checking will be progressive-I will Upload any mission I finish at 100% so the grammar checkers can do their job.  :)

Snail volunteered time ago. Are you still available?  :p

I'll help out too. I want to see what the big Inferno fanfic is doing ("Inferno fanfic" is ironic, no? What with Inferno being a fanfic in the first place.  :p).

Ok. I will contact you when needed.

Anyway, the Species tbl is scary(everyone has VP View so everyone can easily discovere everything all by himself)...
Basically there's a database of the enemy/allied aces taken down during the missions of the campaign. We have passed the limit of 30 entries in the species tbl(according to taylor there won't be limits with 3.7)and the filesize is 36kb...

Two is an optimal number of grammarcheckers(who will test the campaign too,of course).

The third should be Snail....

with the difference that Woomeister is english, and probably does less grammar errors that us...

Mobius, for the long message lists /briefs/comm.briefs maybe it is better to save them as word (.doc) formats and to send them to the checkers. (as i'll do for ep 2 texts)

too bad it's inferno era which means there will be no damn Zods to kill ;(

??? :confused:??? what are the Zods???


Anyway, i can be another mission/grammar tester... :D  ;7

"Zod" means "vasudan", n00b! :P
And you can't do the tester, you know already everything! :p
@neoterran: you shouldn't offend vasudans when there is Edivad near you, he is known to eat fishes and to have a box labelled "Headz" :lol:

@all testers: do you have MSN, so we can have your responses in "real time"? If you don't, don't worry, you'll test it anyway.

'The only good Zod is a dead one'

Vasudans or....Zodiac? :lol:

Yeah,if you have MSN you should contact DySkO.

However there's a mission that is impossible to test until I fix the problems I'm having with the Steadfast.pof do you have modellling abilities?

We also need a Steadfast brief icon,maybe Snail can create it for us.

Steady icon... Drawn or FS2 style? I can do both, but the drawn one takes more time...

You spell/grammar people who are approved by any Steadfast members will have a tiny bit of access to our private forum (that I admin for).

Uh, how can we get in touch over MSN then ? DD's MSN is not known. If we are in I guess we get a pm ? Waiting on you...
