This should be my last batch of these big fixes.
That's not to say there aren't still more things to fix. There
certainly are. But, I expect my future fixes will be smaller.
Full internationalization would be much cooler, but that's never going
to happen. Given that, this will at least prevent folks from constantly
having to look and switch between typing "armor" and "armour", depending
on which zone each item originated in, etc.
I could flip these either way, but a survey of the current state shows
that about 80% of the mixed cases use the American spellings, while 20%
use the British. And, most words *only* exist in this data in their
American forms. So, it seems the majority prefer these spellings.
In case anyone likes trivia:
* The most common mixed words in here were "armour" and "colour", each of
which occured about half as often as "armor" and "color", respectively.
* The most British word in here was "theatre" (including other forms),
which occured about twice as often as "theater".
This stanardizes all of these (and other forms of these same words):
* armour -> armor
* colour -> color
* favour -> favor
* honour -> honor
* civilise -> civilize
* centre -> center
* theatre -> theater
* defence -> defense
* offence -> offense
* realise -> realize
Functionally, this is a non-change.
This just conforms a few odd cases to be the same as the rest.
`git show -w` shows nothing (this is a whitespace-only change).
Since circle/tba is not case-sensitive, this should be a non-change.
I confirmed this by verifying that `diff -i` shows zero changes.
So, to tba, this is just a cosmetic cleanup.
However, to others that use this data, the case might be important.
...this includes my own separate MUD codebase. :)
This just converts the few DOS text files still in here to standard text files (line-endings),
removes all the trailing spaces on lines, removes all the trailing blank lines, and replaces
all the tabs (except in .zon files, where they seem to be common) with expanded spaces.
It's easy to confirm this is actually a non-change, except for whitespace:
* `git show -w` shows this commit as only removing 8 trailing blank lines.
This should make no difference to tbaMUD itself, but it will make working on these files,
especially with scripts and automated tools, much easier.
This is the base change for a set of other changes I will put up once/if this merges,
without this, the others are just too complicated to wrangle.
I don't know dg_script well at all, so I could be mistaken.
But, I think these are just minor errors in this script.
I have a separately-implemented mud codebase that interprets the
worlds from tbamud, and it flags these as errors, and some other
issues I might chose to fix later, depending on how this PR goes. :)
Of course, it's possible this is really a bug in my own codebase, and
not in these scripts... but I don't think so - and the documentation
I've managed to find seems to confirm my suspicion.
I am guessing some script or tool used upstream is doing an unsafe
search-and-replace for '@' with TAB, and accidentally changing these.
They seem to have been creeping into the repo for years.
I produced this fix commit automatically with:
sed -i 's|\t\([bcdgmnoruwyBCDGMRWY]\)|@\1|g' tba/*/*.*
...and then a few files' changes had to be undone.
I looked through all of the rest, and they look like correct fixes.
I also ran all the other letters, and they only make incorrect "fixes".
Added Ultima Zone 555 and 556. Originally by Casret, rebuilt by Parna.
Made MEDIT column menu's consistent with other OLC menu's.
added TEDIT access to bugs, typos, and ideas file.
[Oct 09 2009] - Rumble
Added connected_type "Preference Edit" (thanks Maoliosa)
[Oct 10 2007] - Rumble
Added OLC menu options for Copying. The Xcopy option is still available for GODs and above.
Player table is now created if it does not exist. (thanks Rhade)
[Oct 08 2007] - Rumble
Removed top_shop_offset variable, hopefully fixing the infamous sedit bug.
Fixed memory leaks from not freeing new zone builders and new zone commands. (thanks Neme)
