Hmm... have we left Pstrickert and RBL as the only text guys returning then?

Eugene, thanks for all you do and your continued contributions.
I hope circumstances change to allow you to return to the text team. Here's a couple of pics with very small items, but I know they're important to you. The first is one with the (n) included (using the newest file) and the other is simply - IMHO - wording, should be gets rather than get. It could also be changed to 'hurries to' get.... Thanks again.

I second the part about Eugene reconsidering a return to the text team. As for the typos, I changed "got" to "gets." But, strangely enough, the "(n)" problem had already been fixed. I take this to mean that we do not, in fact, have the latest xml file. Markus or Andreas will have to generate a new one and post it.

Thanks for being attentive, strickert, and thanks tysok for quickly stepping up should we need that replacement file.

Thanks, tysok! (And as for you, I refuse to believe that you chose not to reapply for beta testing. It's not too late, so get your application in there NOW!) |

tysok, if you don't mind, can you give me the steps to download and put the updated text file in the game. This computer illiterate could use a little help. Thanks. Why don't you post the link on the main Discussions Forum so all the gamers would have access to it. Not all of them check out this thread. Last edited by Eugene Church; 01-11-2009 at 03:49 PM. |

Eugene, I don't know where you are with this process right now. Again, I do hope you reconsider your role in the upcoming team selection. I know your schedule may be part of it, but your value would be missed greatly.
In any event, here's a few from today's games. The first, it looks like, may be a text problem in relation to the animation. The setting is right, but the text is off, from what I gather. Look at the ball in relation to the text. The next is a text issue that bunches an 'it' after the catcher's name. I'm not sure what that's all about. The last is the ever evasive n, in its various forms.

#1 has to be fixed by Markus. It's an animation problem. I will put it Bugzilla. #2 was a typo...fixed it. #3 was a typo, I think. The only thing I could see was a "space" that shouldn't be there. I'm just hoping this will fix it. The Text look fine except for the extra space. There was no "n" in the Text Database line. As far as the the Beta Team, schedule has nothing to do with it. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to work on OOTPB. I'm just tired of the Text Team being a very low priority by Markus. |

I think it is good that you are smart enough to realize not to get on the Beta Team. It is not a good place for lazy people. We had 10 new members last year on the Text Team and I was really excited, several of them worked as real sportswriters. But it didn't pan out. Only two of the new members actually wrote any news stories. They didn't write much... 25-50 stories at most... but at least told me they couldn't participate as much as they would like. I don't know what the rest them did. Maybe they switched to another Beta group. The sportswriters wrote no stories. |

Seriously, I stay away from beta testing (assuming I would even be accepted, a big assumption) for the very reason that you pointed out; I would be concerned about not having enough time to do it justice and letting people like you down. Now, you must know how much you are appreciated and needed by the community, not OOTP. Won't you reconsider? |

I'll add my voice to the growing choir: the text in OOTP-9 is light years beyond OOTP-2007, and this is largely due to the work of Eugene, tysok, pstrickert and a few other members of the beta text team. Some great work has been done here, in large part because some great people have been involved. Eugene's work has made all of our OOTP experiences immeasurably better, and I very much hope he will continue to lead this vital part of OOTP's development.

As you yourself know there are dozens just like the Text Team on the Beta Team. They all deserve our thanks and appreciation. Many of them I don't even know their names, but I can see the results in the game. It is troubling to see some of them leave, especially the ones who can do scientific tests like Ronco and Matter2003. And look what Nutlaw does on the Tech Support Forum. Tony M is a fine moderator, too. Last edited by Eugene Church; 01-20-2009 at 10:11 AM. |

"swung on a missed" should be "swung on and missed." I'm surprised nobody mentioned this typo. I fixed it in the database where, in fact, it occurred in four different text objects.
