I'm not an expert with the patching tool. My recent changes to the string table, make using these patches complicated.
The content of these patches is good and to the point.

Re: Species Write-Ups
Eleazar just rename the "Gyisache" "Gysache." That would need to be changed again in Sloth's patch to maintain consistency.

Re: Species Write-Ups
What? How the heck do you pronounce "Gysache"?

The same way you pronounce "Gyisache" without the confusing "yi" pair.Bigjoe5 wrote:What? How the heck do you pronounce "Gysache"?
Re: Species Write-Ups
Here is a small update because i noticed that the descriptions of the Hhhoh and Scylior were given to the wrong scpecies as a result of outdated patches.
Included is also a new description: Setinon.
EDIT: Patch is part of the next.

Re: Species Write-Ups
The "yi" pair isn't what was confusing about that species name being pronounced "Yee-Saish"... Now it just looks like "Gi-Satch" (or "Gi-Saish", if one was pronouncing it "Yee-Saish" before).eleazar wrote:The same way you pronounce "Gyisache" without the confusing "yi" pair.Bigjoe5 wrote:What?

I've always thought "gee-satch-ee", or "gyee-satch-ee", but might now say "guy-satch-ee".Bigjoe5 wrote:...if one was pronouncing it "Yee-Saish" before).

Re: Species Write-Ups
Regardless of the original intent, if there's a letter in there that's not obviously silent (g before y), I'm going to pronounce it.
And regardless of the original intent, I don't see a way to pronounce "-saish" (seye-sh, say-sh, sah-ish, ?) that would be a sensible interpretation of "-sache".
Making things intentionally (and pointlessly?) hard to interpret is another form of vanity spelling and best avoided.
