Wookiee Server Options

Description
I am on an indefinite hiatus from Project Zomboid. Feel free to use my code for future mods, and feel free to update my mods for B42. Please do not reuse their exact names or mod id's to avoid confusion and bugs for B41 players. I can only guarantee my mods worked when used alone before B42 dropped. I will no longer be retesting them when people have conflicts. Thanks for the support over the years.

Wookiee Server Options

What if you could actually read the long names of workshop items, mods, maps, and even your own ridiculously labeled server presets when you're configuring a server for hosting? Well, now you can! What if you could hold L2, R2, or both (or Left Control, Left Shift, or both) in order to add, delete, or scroll through 5, 10, or 20 mods at a time? Well, now you can! What if the hosting menu could be nicely centered and your absurdly long server names could be read in all their glory before you clicked Start? Well, now they can be!

Enable this mod (in the MODS menu) in order to be able to better see the names of workshop items, mods, maps, and presets when you are configuring a server for hosting. Increases the width of the aforementioned lists to appropriately fit the window on the right side of the server settings screen.

Enable this mod in your server's Host settings (or the .ini if you wear fancy pants) in order to actually read the names of clothing categories in the character creation screen on larger UI font settings, make the gender box large enough to see your selection, and add mouseover tooltips to the character creation panel for gamepad users when viewing modded clothing items that are too long. Even adds a CLOTHING button next to the vanilla RANDOM button, which will randomize your clothes instead of your entire character (but it uses a vanilla function to do so, and may not search all mod items for clothing).

In addition to moving the items on the righthand side of the character creation panel, I abbreviate them by removing the "UI_ClothingType_" prefix from categories with missing (or misplaced) English translations. Note that you can disable the removal of these prefixes using LegibleMods.ini in Zomboid/Lua (a configuration file folder in your user directory on Windows) if you are a modder who would prefer to see them.

This mod is the evolution of Legible Mods. I will no longer be updating Legible Mods, and if everyone switches to this improved version, I will delete Legible Mods from the workshop.

For modders: in order to enable compatibility with this mod for future modders, I have made some formerly inaccessible vanilla tables and their functions accessible via require in Lua. Simple use the following command to gain access to various local objects and instances in your own module:

local WSO = require "WookieeServerOptions"

Is something you need missing from the module above? Let me know in the comments, and I will make it available! Eventually, I will likely also convert all local buttons and labels into object fields for accessibility (via self.fieldName).

Like this mod? Feel free to check out my other stuff on the Steam Workshop!

I will work on adding support for Bigger Character Avatar!

While using Bigger Character Avatar the character avatar won't be big on the character creation panel, only on the info panel

I suspect this is compatible with Mod Manager because Mod Manager overwrites an entirely different menu; however, I have not tested this with Mod Manager because Mod Manager itself does not have gamepad support (and seems to give people many other problems in the #mod_support channel of the Discord where I routinely find myself helping people troubleshoot servers they made wrong using Mod Manager). :steamhappy:

I personally use that mod manager mod now, but would this work with that, I mainly want the shortened clothes names, cause god that part is awful in my character creations
I'm stupid when it comes to knowing compatibility so sorry if it's annoying that people ask
