Modifying the text inside the career popups

[MatterBeam]

Hello.

Is it possible to modify the career start-up messages that appear to explain what things are for a first-time player?

I cannot find their .cfg files.

TimChen44 (the Chinese translater) found a way to extract texts like those from the KSP code.

I'm using that for my translation plugin (WIP). This method will be used by a few other language patches (like the Spanish one) in the future.

These texts aren't stored in .cfg files, that's why you can't find them. What do you replace them with ?

An example of my WIP French patch which replaces the texts you're looking for :

Does your translation plugin have a cfg file I can edit?

[simon56modder]

No, it's actually .xml file you can edit.

I'm cooking that for you, I come back in a few minutes

[Edit]

It also replaces KSP code, and the only OS you can use ATM is Windows.

Tell me the directory and file name you want the mod file to have before I give you this, I need it to compile that stuff

GameData/PopupText/plugin.ddl sounds right?

[simon56modder]

Yes

[edit]

I compile that again because I've made something wrong...

Download the pack from here : http://www./download/mpajjxm2aha7dsl/

Note that it's only compatible with Windows version 1.0.2 : 1.0/1.0.1 doesn't work, and Mac/Linux aren't compatible.

Don't forget to merge folders and replace files when you install the plugin.

In that pack you'll find a GameData/PopupText. There are 2 files here :

texts.xml contains the texts you can edit.

stockTexts.xml contains stock base texts, do not edit it.

I've only included the career-popup related texts, but if you find other interesting things in stockTexts.xml, feel free to add the xml node from stockTexts to texts and edit it

Is that for your really interesting project ROCK ?

Do you want me to link people interested in my mod to this page as a dependency, or can I integrate it in my mod's download and link to your page as well?

PS: Where is your mod page?

[simon56modder]

That's a mod I created just for you, you can do whatever you want with that.

You can integrate this page if you want

Thanks. I integrated the mod, but I also linked to the specific post you created.

I highly suggest creating a separate add-on release page for it. It's actually helpful for many modders. I have no right to do it in your stead

[simon56modder]

Yes, that's something I'm working on. I'll send you a private message when it will be done.
