Is there a wiki or something for trash loot generation?

@MassCraxx
in old version, unify the new fish size code name with the "Prize", and just add to IG_UI_(otherlanguage).txt "IGUI_Fish_Prize" code, new size fish name is changed to other language.

@MassCraxx Oh wow! Now that is just fucking perfect! Thanks a ton my good sir!

We've decided to name our new fishing shack with your honor, MC's Rest for short, even tho it's just an ongoing project atm. But I'll be honest here, this place might be our new base from now on, at least for a while. Again, you have our utmost appreciation!

Also I caught nothing today, barring a couple of 10-inchers, sadface :'(

@>) Ok, I couldn't let it rest and fixed the translation for the renaming feature and reactivated it as default. Hope you enjoy your fishing chill-out to the fullest!

@MassCraxx I see, that explains the behavior we encountered, makes sense actually. Now me and the players in my server would certainly appreciate the fast update and your attention!

The only thing I could ask for is just the feature of showing how long the fishs we caught in respective langauges, so we can keep a competition going XD btw I caught a crappie of 128cm

It's just kinda sad and somewhat worth pondering that me and the others are now so addicted to fishing in a video game which is essentially a virtual reality, but what the hell it's fun lol
MassCraxx  [author] 3 Apr @ 10:54am 
@>) I assume it's because the game can only translate the expected fishnames e.g. "Trout" but the mod renames the fish and adds the size to the name. Then the game is not able to translate "Small Trout" anymore.
I disabled this feature per default and added an option to the sandbox vars.

@MassCraxx I think the problem might not be about translation template, for I did try look into it and found no solution as far as my nigh-nonexistence programming skills go.

I ran through the codes and files and realized you didn't add any new items into the game, the mod is still using the vanilla fish names.

But for reasons I cannot grasped on, the fishs everyone caught will have their names in english instead of that player's game language, which is a mystery to me. If it's simply the lacking of template I'd have gladly done that myself for this fabulous mod, yet that might not be the case here.
