Reading books with numbers in the title
Reading books with numbers in the title
I noticed this quite awhile ago, but when trying to read a book that has a number in the title (for example, a book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume two" by Kelvan), you are never able to read the chapter that shares the number, (look two will return just looking at the book). I have seen this with a number of the amazing in game books. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Reading books with numbers in the title
Confirmed:
Perhaps the easiest solution is to just rename the items, per other volumes of this work:
Code: Select all
(35179) a book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume two" by Kelvan (perfect)
> look one
Stormwind's Bride
Sea Rose, Starlight, Sunset over the Oceans...
...
> look two
Chanties of the Sea, Volume two
by Kelvan Umberdawn
Chapter ONE up to Chapter EIGHT
Type "look (chapter number)" to read the book. e.g., look ONE.
Code: Select all
> ofind chanties
[35151] ( 2) A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume one" by Kelvan
[35179] ( 3) A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume two" by Kelvan
[35189] ( 2) A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume three" by Kevlan
[35232] ( 1) A book - "Chanties of the Sea Volume IV." by Kelvan
[35233] ( 1) A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume V" by Kelvan

Re: Reading books with numbers in the title
This happens with
A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume two" by Kelvan
but not with
A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume three" by Kevlan
This is because the keywords are unique for the latter (though they don't match the long name):
A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume two" by Kelvan
but not with
A book - "Chanties of the Sea, Volume three" by Kevlan
This is because the keywords are unique for the latter (though they don't match the long name):
versusIndex object description keywords: 'book kelvan Chanties Sea Chanties of the Sea, Volume two one two three four five six seven eight'
Two possible solutions for the general case:Index object description keywords: 'book Kelvan Chanties Sea Volume third one two three four five'
- Use numerals for the chapters (1, 2, 3) rather than words
- Avoid using chapter number names (one, two, three) in book titles
So, in short, modifying book objects with this problem is the only real fix; I think the code is doing the best it can under the circumstances.Index object description keywords: 'book waterdeep city watch training manual raona corbin 1 one introduction intro 2 two before 3 three 4 four 5 five 6 six 7 seven commencing 8 eight 9 nine 10 ten 11 eleven 12 twelve 13 thirteen 14 fourteen 15 fifteen 16 sixteen 17 seventeen 18 eighteen 19 nineteen 20 twenty 21 twenty-one twentyone 22 twenty-two twentytwo 23 twenty-three twentythree 24 twenty-four twentyfour 25 twenty-five twentyfive'
