Training Mission Text Needs Editing

Recommended Posts

The text of the books in the training level needs a little editing.

There are a few sentences that get cut off. Maybe that's just a bug? Example in the melee book:

> Try to counter-attach immediately after your foe misses or is blocked, before

Also some of the wording is confusing, such as this part from the Gamma/Brightness book:

> The Gamma slider adjusts the mid range brightness the most and less towards top and bottom (which are anchored).

Would it be helpful for someone to go through all the training books and edit them to fix these issues?

Sure, it sounds like those texts could do with some finetuning, that'd be appreciated.

I've attached the .strings file which contains all the lines in that FM english.txt. There's also a short non-internationalised text left by Bikerdude at the bottom of this .xd file: training_mission.txt

If you want to test your changes ingame, change the .txt extensions and create new folders for them as below:
/fms/training_mission/strings/english.lang
/fms/training_mission/xdata/training_mission.xd

(Usually texts aren't that unwieldy to work with in TDM, it's because of the internationalisation of the text files of the "official" FMs)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
