the reversed get words
Re: the reversed get words
no its not just you, its been that way for a while.. the text blocks are fucked up.. now if your sysop wanted to he could sit there with NM and edit all the text blocks and fix all of them but thats a waste of time.. :)
Re: the reversed get words
I know why it does it;)
Whatever monsters are doing that for you don't have a description text assigned, and they need one. Look at the giant rat's description text, and just use that one..I think it's 2001 or something, I don't know. But the description text is why that happens ;) Just assign one to the monsters that have that problem and it'll fix it.

if you click the button labeled "note" on the monster message tab, it will tell you a great prophecy:
"If you have a description textblock defined, then the move message is formatted "the %s moves in from the %s." If you do not, then you must specify the monster name in your move message: "the goblin moves in from the %s.""
what that means is that if your monster has anything but 0 for the description textblock field (small, fat, huge, etc), then you can use any standard formatted message with the two %s's. if you do not, then you have to specify the monsters name in the move message you use, only one %s is used. the first %s in this case is the direction, hence why it ends up saying "A stomps in" instead of "A stomps in...".
