Is it possible to create mod-related help files #102

Closed c469591 closed 1 year ago

Hello, is it possible to add a new help file to the zip file that is released? including all the quick keys and corresponding functions? Also is it possible to integrate some good mods into this accessibility mod? For example, sticky furniture and so on. I feel that the download of these mods is not very convenient, some mods are not placed on github, but on a website dedicated to mods, but it is very inconvenient to download there, and some good mods are no longer maintained by the author. Thanks!

Hi @c469591

There is online documentation at https://github.com/khanshoaib3/stardew-access/wiki, which you can clone for offline use via git:

git clone https://github.com/khanshoaib3/stardew-access.wiki

While I agree that Nexus is not a convenient place to download from, ignoring it altogether also means that you are missing out on a lot of great mods, some of which may or may not have been discovered by the community. Implementing these mods in Stardew Access means extra maintenance by the Stardew Access contributors, and unneeded features for gamers who do not wish to add such features to their game. Mods are meant to be modular, e.g. adding a focused set of features only, otherwise they can become bloated very quickly.

Glue your Furniture Down is one particular mod that I personally don't recommend. While it can be very convenient, getting used to the way object handling works in the game is much more rewarding in the long run, which will also result in you never picking up objects if you don't mean to.

Understood, thank you for the description I also have a question, but it has been asked before. I am currently using Chinese language, but some items are still in English, such as grass. Can you solve this problem or provide a way to translate it? Thanks

Flameborn commented 1 year ago

No problem. This is just my opinion of course.

I believe the translation issue is for the Accessible Tiles mod. Unfortunately, the git repo looks outdated and I'm not sure if there's a new one. May I suggest asking around on Discord?

ok的,只要能解決問題,方法就不那麼重要了, 請問如果我在mod的網站上,要找Stardew Valley的無障礙mod,搜尋Stardew Valley無障礙能找的到嗎

Flameborn commented 1 year ago

No, I meant the mod called "Accessible Tiles". There's a Discord server which I suggested previously, at https://discord.gg/yQjjsDqWQX where you may get more help and info.

thank you

khanshoaib3 commented 1 year ago

The coming update will hopefully also include a docs folder with help files. But it will be in english, will see on how to translate that but that will most likely not be in the coming release.

c469591 commented 1 year ago

Thanks! Will the next version of the mod be updated soon? I'm thinking that if the next version takes a long time to update, I can simply translate it myself first, but only for my own use. I found that the Chinese content currently read aloud through the mod should be exactly the same as on the screen. My own translation may be different from the Chinese content shown on the screen, because I can't compare the words I translated with those on the screen, it's too big a project. I will only record what I hear in English and use deepl to do the translation. If you need me in the future, I can also participate in the translation work. But if your translation workflow has better results than mine, then I'll wait for the next mod update. Finally, thank you for your efforts, so that I can play such a good game!

khanshoaib3 commented 1 year ago

I can't say exactly but maybe 3-4 weeks. I'll use chatGPT for the translation so I think I will need someone to verify the translations.

c469591 commented 1 year ago

I understand that I can help with the translation work if needed. Also, can you provide me with an English template so I can translate all the complete content? Thank you!

khanshoaib3 commented 1 year ago

The English template is at https://github.com/khanshoaib3/stardew-access/blob/master/stardew-access/i18n/default.json

c469591 commented 1 year ago

ok, I see. I checked this file and was a little confused, is this just a version for testing? For example, in the main menu of the game New Button and Load Button are not in this file Will the complete translatable file be available in the future?

khanshoaib3 commented 1 year ago

You can say that, only a few things in the mod have translations. And yes, the complete translation file will be available at the same url, I'll notify you when I'll be working on translation.
