我的第一个猜测是最好的起点是 mod 根目录中包含 autoLOC 条目的“Localization.cfg”文件。除此之外，我不知道如何建议如何实现额外的语言支持。但是，我注意到该文件中已经有很多语言部分，其中之一是 zh-cn。

Maybe I just didn't find it, after all, some mods have localization files in separate folders... Anyway, I will create a Pull Request on Github.

how does the "scan" option with a telescope work for researching a discovered body?

[Don0303]

is there a way to "forget" a body in an existing save, i just installed the mod and on my career save all bodies are discovered dispite me not making it past eve

[russiannuke]

This mod has so many bugs: 

Can only research the top celestial object in the list; 

Contracts show up as if you landed on wherever you have only 0% research; 

Progression thinks you have completed exploration of an object when you only found it in the sky;

Hi everyone, some of you may or may not know that I am a senior dev on KSP1 and now also on KSP2.
Unfortunately I am finding it harder and harder to find time to invest in my KSP1 mods as I would like to. Almost all of my efforts and time now go into KSP2.
That is not to say that I am giving up on my KSP1 mods, just that it is unlikely I am going to have much time to invest in looking at or fixing problems with them. I will find the time to fix some things but it is going to be a very slow road I'm afraid.
I will try my best, but cannot gaurantee anything. Instead - I am sinking all my time into KSP2 development in order to deliver all the exciting new stuff we can for KSP2 and opening up modding in KSP2 for everyone as well.
I hope you all understand. Thanks for your patience and support.

How to raise telescope range?? For mods like GU or Infinite discovery is must be

Actually I do recall having a file for RSS planets... Must have dropped off the radar.
I'll dig it up and fix it up and include in next version.

Did you ever dig this up? If you still have it can you please post it?

Thank you

Since the author hasn't merge your pull request after more than a year, maybe you could just include the localization to the Chinese Mod Patches? (I just realized you are the maintainer of CMP ^^)

By the way, I just made a Chinese translation by myself before I found out you did the same thing a year ago. Now I'm literally crying...

Will you please consider integrate the features of this mod to stock KSP2?

Thank you.

That probably isn't up to JPLRepo, although he may have some influence.  A lot goes on in a game design studio that's above even a Senior Dev.  Your best place to advocate for feature inclusion is on the KSP2 forum, such as

Hello could you add acompat with scansat? There is at least one telescope there and it would be cool if it could discover bodies too

[WolfieKSP]

Hello, I've installed this mod on an existing save, I haven't even reached orbit yet and have a lvl 1 tracking station. My problem is that I see all the bodies, is there a way to clear the register so they're hidden again?

[More_Heat_Shields]

Moho along with a few of Jools moon do not load in on a new save with this installed.

I've lately been trying this mod out with the Real Solar System mod, though it doesn't look like it was made for system replacement mods in general.

To fix this, I'd recommend replacing any instances with Kerbin with HomeWorld(), so that the mod would be able to better adapt towards any other mods that replace the Kerbals' homeworld of Kerbin with another world.

Alternatively, other modders could opt to replace any instances of Kerbin (or other celestial bodies) with other planet packs' homeworld via patching, but that's not as ideal as making the mod more flexible and adaptable.

 

Edit: After further digging, I've discovered a little file called database.cfg, which seems to possess the names of numerous bodies within the Kerbolar system. I reckon that the file was designed with patchability in mind, where modders could develop patches that add the names of various celestial bodies from other mods to be discovered at game start on various difficulties (such as Sarnus, Urlum, and Neidon from the Outer Planets Mod), and in the case of system replacement mods, possibly remove Kerbin and the other planets and moons from the list in order to be replaced with the names of their mod's homeworld plus neighboring celestial bodies (such as Earth, the Moon, and their neighboring planets and moons from the Real Solar System mod).

 

Edit #2:

Oh, if anyone was curious as to how I managed to spot this issue, here's a small snippet of my .log file (while I had Real Solar System installed):

It seems these bugged-out contracts were set to use Kerbin as a reference, which was why they bug out whenever Kerbin is removed and replaced with a different homeworld. I recommend replacing any instances of "Kerbin" with "HomeWorld()" to fix this issue, so that it wouldn't happen whenever Kerbin is replaced with a different homeworld through mods like Galileo Planets Pack or Real Solar System.

Edit: Replaced all instances of "Homeworld()" with "HomeWorld()", since in scripting, case matters. (Note the capitalization of the letter "W".) My mistake.

When starting a new sandbox save (with research bodies settings set to easy). Moho, Gilly, Dres, Bop, Pol, and Eeloo are still hidden. Any ideas before I go and start posting logs?

Welcome to the forums.

Read this topic about how best to post your issues.  The info you provide can be crucial to the help you might need and answers .

Have you checked the RB options on the Settings page?  Did you add RB after you started your current save, because you can only change the Planet Visibility at save creation?  If not, what level of visibility did you set on start?

Mod seems to be broken in sandbox, as shown below taking a photograph of an unknown body does give a prompt saying the body is unknown but does not discover the body in any way shape or form. Taking 100 photos of the same body will give the same "undiscovered" message 100 times. Photos attached show the issue, ksp.log linked as well. Disappointing because I was looking forward to having science matter in sandbox mode.
