When editing a scenario, I found that Crystal Souls are called "Soul Crystal"s. Despite the four "Soul Crystal"s near the end of Avernum 3, and the Vahnatai's explanation of the difference between Soul Crystals and Crystal Souls... :rolleyes:

Okay, it's a minor thing, but it really bugs me.

Yeah, I noticed that too, and it annoyed me no end.

EDIT: Speaking of annoyance, my browser just went berserk and decided to double-post...

He still hasn't fixed that? Drakey and I both e-mailed him when v1.0.0 came out, and I can understand him ignoring me, but Drakey was a beta tester.

Makes me wonder why we bother at all...

This was actually fixed in Mac v1.0.1 (or maybe v1.1, not sure, but definitely Windows v1.0), though since the core data files are not replaced in the patch, the problem will remain on patched v1.0 installations.

Erm, speaking as an ignorant non-programmer type, shouldn't you include in the patch all of the files that were changed from the old version, including (if necessary) the corescendata files?

*goes to download a full new copy, not knowing what else might be different*

EDIT: *ack* *discovers that the patch to 1.1 is all there is... the full version downloads as 1.0.1*

Not if the only thing that was fixed was one tpyo. I don't feel the added confusion was worth the benefit.

You may feel differently, but you don't have to do my tech support. :)
