VN Ren'Py Long Road Home [Ep.16] [OBDGames]

[LWtbo]

So... Dima, you are a great story teller. You're dialogue flows as naturally as can be. Grammar... Not so much. Case in point, "I'd like to think there isn't aren't that many things that fell through the cracks!" It's not terrible. It's just not publisher perfect. Now... You're being offered free assistance from an English teacher. That translates as "professional sentence builder". It couldn't hurt. Most likely will help. I've been hangin' around this site for a few years now and this is hands down my favorite story. Take every opportunity to make it even better. Jus' Sayin'

you gotta love English.
"I'd like to think there isn't that many things that fell through the cracks!"
"I'd like to think there aren't that many things that fell through the cracks!"
"I'd like to think there wasn't that many things that fell through the cracks!"
"I'd like to think there weren't that many things that fell through the cracks!"
you pays your money you takes your pick .

I got the same error, too. It happened both times I tried passing that moment (by chance, I had made a save when MC was walking back to Elvira after "dealing" with Johnny, shortly before the hospital scene; I usually get into the habit to make a save when it feels like a possible cliffhanger moment, just in case the story ends for this update).

I could easily continue past this error by hitting "Ignore", at least.

Are you using a compressed version?

 

[Dimitri57]

Are you using a compressed version?

I think I figured it out. Are you using the Ep 10 part 3 patch? I fucked up and didn't put the eye open image in the patched version. Unzip the attached file and put it you Long Road Home folder. That should correct the error.

Well... not really. I'm sure our English teacher would say that English is a difficult language even for native English speakers and that's even without taking into account slang or colloquialism. In your example; "there isn't" is technically incorrect or poor English; "there aren't" is considered correct. Similarly, "there wasn't" is incorrect while "there weren't" is correct.

Now... the English lesson is over. Again. Which brings me to the fact that everyone seems to be focused on the correction and somehow I have stepped over a line. That was never my intention. Writers write. The creative language flows. It's not necessarily "correct" and sometimes they don't want it to be. That's why professional writers have editors. Editors correct the spelling, punctuation and usage and the writer makes a final choice.

My intention, then, was to encourage both parties about the advantage to Dima in taking up the English teacher on his offer. Evidently, my need to emphasize the point rubbed some folks the wrong way. Oops. I guess...

Finally, this has made me feel like I needed to explain myself with a wall of text... Something I always hate to do. If there is any good to come of it; I can promise you all that I will speak but never speak of the English language again. At least, not here.

Yeah, I had step away for a bit after reading that.

Plus, it didn't sit well with me getting a DM saying the way I wrote a certain sentence wasn't grammatically incorrect, but they thought I should say it a different way.

I could understand if it was an important statement or salient point in the story, but it was absolutely nothing of importance that would warrant changing it for someone's personal preference.

I know people's hearts are in the right places, but I don't have any patience for nitpicky shit.

Silly me, I thought people would enjoy a gritty Biker themed AVN.

I didn't know what people are really clamoring for is a publisher perfect doctoral dissertation.

Wow, now people decide to attack you because of bad grammar? hmm... people become too stuffy... no wonder, the main thing is effort! Don't pay attention to such attacks, dude!

Damn it taken a while for someone to notice that!

It's not a typo, it's an inside joke to a friend of mine. We were at a titty bar well into our pitchers of beer. A gorgeous Korean girl stepped up on stage to dance. My buddy slurred, damn that's a good looking ornamental! It stuck with me, and I had to slip in into the story.

I told you, bro. It doesn't matter if a dev is doin everything right. Shitheads are goin to find somethin to bitch about.

Dimitri57 if you put on your left boot first, you're wrong. It has to be your right boot always. Because you want to start the day right.

That must be my problem! I'm left handed!

My poor people... we create AVN for them knowing that we do not speak 100% English but have difficulty coping with grammar no matter what, but they still require our full commitment...

I think you fucked up more than that, though. I was using the full version (not compressed, and not using the patch), and the file seems to be missing from there. I just re-downloaded the full release from the MEGA link in the OP, and the file is missing from there as well:

Try it tomorrow and see. You might be surprised.
