Re: [Crawl-ref-discuss] Writing Contribution

[Johanna P. <joh...@go...>]

Not a dev, but you can find a lot of narrative stuff in source/dat/database
including monster/god speech, noisy weapons and artefact names. Good
additions to any of these are pretty much always welcome.

You can find the documentation for the monster speech syntax
in docs/develop/monster_speech.txt

A long paragraph before you start the game could be annoying. (That seems
like something more appropriate to FAQ.txt, specifically A:goal)

But does Crawl still have the single-line message at the start, and if so,
have those messages been outsourced?


Cheers,
