When a doppleganger is given clothes: "No thanks, I already have
one." (some)
I've done a little research on this. That typo/agreement error is caused by giving any of the following items to any kind of doppleganger:
clothes, bracers of defense, bracers of protection, thieves picks, thick furs, heavy boots, light furs, light boots, gauntlets, gloves, leather boots, gnomish boots, iron boots, thick gauntlets, sandals, mithril boots, adamantium boots, eternium boots, bracers of resistance, boots of sneakiness, bracers of regeneration, gloves of dexterity, gauntlets of strength, bracers of toughness, gauntlets of peace, red dragon-hide gauntlets, black dragon-hide gauntlets, blue dragon-hide gauntlets, white dragon-hide gauntlets, red leather gauntlets, black leather gauntlets, blue leather gauntlets, white leather gauntlets, gauntlets of eternal peace "Shezestriakis", brass bracers, elemental gauntlets, frog legs, spiked boots, brass knuckles, gloves of smiting, boots of the divine messenger, boots of speed, seven league boots, bracers of speed, boots of great speed, alchemistic gloves, Shirt of the Saints (only a problem when unidentified: "clothes"), bracers of war, robes of resistance, iron gauntlets "Ironfist", gloves of carrying, fancy clothes, ugly clothes, archery gloves, boxing gloves, studded gloves
That is, any item which is "naturally" plural.
Furthermore, the message displayed when scrolls of item destruction are read assumes the affected item is always singular, which leads to further agreement errors:
"Your clothes [+0, +0]
turns to dust!", "Your sandals [+0, +0]
turns to dust!" (turn)
"Your uncursed iron gauntlets "Ironfist" (-1, +0) [+1, +3] {St+7}
glows in a black light.", "Your uncursed robes of resistance (-4, -4) [+3, +12] {To+5}
glows in a black light." (glow)
Kicking certain items around also leads to odd grammar:
"The cursed robes of resistance (-4, -4) [+3, +12] {To+5}
slides to the north." (slide)
"The uncursed Shirt of the Saints [+8, +4] {Le+2}
slide to the north." (slides; the current grammar is correct when the item is unidentified: "clothes")
When seeing those same items on the floor:
"
A cursed robes of resistance (-4, -4) [+3, +12] {To+5} (60s)
is lying here." (Cursed robes of resistance ... are lying here)
"
Uncursed Shirt of the Saints [+8, +4] {Le+2}
are lying here." (An uncursed Shirt of the Saints ... is lying here; the current grammar is correct when the item is unidentified: "clothes")
When listing all the generated artifacts in a final log file, the name of two of them leads to odd grammar:
Code:
The following 12 artifacts were generated during his adventure:
...
the Perion's mithril plate mail
the Brannalbin's Cloak of Defense
"the" should be removed for those.
