Fully Customizable Messages

[Epikest]

Feature Description

• complete control over relay, broadcast, leave and join, and chat messages in the config
• support for multiple languages with customizable language files or no language files altogether and just separate editable messages for every language in a different terracord.dll eg: terracordDE.dll terracordEN.dll etc.

I am considering the removal of localization. Localization was originally implemented at the insistence of Visual Studio (the editor recommended moving certain hard-coded strings of text from the source to resource files instead). I used the opportunity to learn how the process works in C#. Rescinding localization would have the following benefits:

• Reduces file clutter (no requirement to have language folders containing separate DLLs in the top-level TShock directory)
• Decreases project complexity (eliminates all existing resource files and the Properties directory)
• Allows for greater customization (adds ability to change text without the need to rebuild Terracord.dll)

The disadvantages of this change are:

• Users will be required to update their instance of terracord.xml (to include all the new options)
• Translations will be lost
• Documentation will need to be updated (specifically, the installation instructions in README.md)

The documentation updates will also impact issue #111 and PR #113 which are assigned to @MicaelJarniac. Updating terracord.xml should not be a huge problem for users and some folks will likely be fond of the new customization options. Lastly, locale support (currency and number format, etc.) can continue to be maintained in Config.cs. Users will be free to translate the text in terracord.xml if desired using the new available customization options.
