Revenant + Warden Messages

Tiur

Attempting to put these out for everyone, so there is no trouble with systems. Not all messages are 100% correct, and some are missing. I will try to fill them in as I get time. To explain, sometimes a message written in a document is too long, too short, doesn't match the internal effects well enough, or lacks some specific key word. These are those messages before entry. MUCH MUCH easier to copy paste, so I can give you something RIGHT NOW.

Can I just say some of your 1p messages are $(replica) (Lawid message) while for other 1p messages, what is used is $(replica$). Does that bug anything out? >_>

Tiur

Those are the sorts of thing that my IDE sort out, so we don't worry too much about them. It also shouldn't bother you guys, only silly rapture wants $(expansion$) like that. You'll also see formats differ because different techniques use different messages.. in some places you can't all $(replica$) and need to do rep$, or even the fearsome $(weather$).

Generally I took the volunteer written gold up there and converted it into a new scope code, so it's pretty unified now. That's why you're all seeing more "So and so uses Riving Hug" than used to be there.

To echo what Tiur said, some of these might be different to what is presented in game.
