Fix the Barrett typo.
« on: December 10, 2006, 06:31:37 pm »
Alright, this is a pet peeve of mine (see my Barrett typo userbar), and I think it'd be really easy to fix. All Michal Marcinkowski has to do is go into the files he makes the installer from, add another "t" to the end of "Barret" in weaponnames.txt, and he's done.

I really don't see why this hasn't been done before, it's probably the only feature in Soldat that will take less than a minute to implement.

In case anyone thinks I'm making a typo, see here.

I'm not going against MM or anything like that, but having in-game bugs and glitches is one thing, but having typos is just sad.

I would never diss or put down MM in any way. He is one of my heroes and I would never wrong him, ever.

Well you just did, buddy.
It's only a typo. Release a mod that fixes it if you hate it so much. Anyway, I'm sure MM has bigger fish to fry.

As people have said already, do it yourself. The typo doesn't annoy me at all personally... it ain't worth the fuss.

I must have been asleep when I posted my original post.
I apologize to MM and whoever read it for posting it.

I would never knowingly diss the master.

It would take all of one second to correct it. Yeah, it's hardly a pressing matter, but as an error it would be nice to see it fixed. Just the same, I honestly didn't catch the error, myself not being familiar with military firearms. :P

I don't care if its misspelled. I suppose it has somewhat "soldat history" in it.
However topics like this (or similar) pops up like once a month,  something that would stop if he adds one more byte to a text file :o so, why not? (as stated, takes like 1 sec)

there is no such thing as a barret, MM made up his own gun because he thought it would be cool, but everyone just decided to bitch about it. FOR SHAME!

Typo is just ridicilous. "Fix it yourself", why would like 400 players need to fix it for themeselves? when MM can fix it for all those, umm 400 forum people + others who are not aware of community. :o

Might as well fix it... then we don't have to hear all the stupid whining anymore. >:(

Though seeing it spelled barrett just looks plain weird after playing soldat for 3-4 years, but that'll pass after a short time.

Maybe I should start complaining about how in the join menu you see the word "favourites", while in the player menu you see the word "colors".
