Once again my computer's taken a bashing (my laptop screen now only shows anything if I have it at a 45 degree angle from the keyboard, which isn't very practical) and so I won't be able to answer any emails sent to axeuk.com for a bit. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi Alex
Although your e-mail is down i assume you are able to read / write to the forum, so I will repeat my Quest 3.1 beta 'bug report' here.
When parsing player input, Quest seems to convert occurences of the word 'the' to a single space, rather than ignoring them. This is a pain because in order to cope with the player typing 'the' in input say:

quote:

put apple in bag, put the apple in the bag, put apple in the bag or put the apple in bag.
the user command has to be repeated like so to catch all possibilites:-

quote:

command <put #object# in #container#>
command <put #object# in #container#>
command <put #object# in #container#>
command <put #object# in #container#>
If 'the' was removed, rather than converted to a space, only the final version would be required for all possibilities.

BLAHHHH!!!
I HATE the way this forum works.. LOL
In the example above, the forum code has removed the duplicated spaces I was trying to illustrate - exactly in the way I wish Quest would do...

Thanks for the bug report. I did actually receive your email shortly before I fatefully closed my laptop and said goodbye to the display for the last time. I will look into it... but can't until I've got my computer functioning again :)
Cheers
Alex
