More Description for Traits [b41 & b42.8]

Description
NOW COMPATIBLE with 42.8

- Corrected the duplication bug
- Refactored the free recipe code so it's limited per crafting category and better to visualize
- Added Inventive description




This mod is intended for players who are confused about what effects each trait and profession has on the character.

It adds description to the traits that need it to describe their effects on the character in detail, instead of leaving people guessing with vague sentences. This way, players can have an easier time imagining their own builds by themselves.

It also adds the description on mouse hover in the character's info screen, in game. This works with descriptions of traits from other mods too, like Banjo's item kits or Dynamic traits for example.

This is based on a combination of my own knowledge, the game's non-exposed Java files (that I learned how to decompile), the game's exposed Lua files, your feedback, and the wiki of PZ.

Most of what I added in the traits' descriptions are in parenthesis so you can distinguish what is vanilla description and what is not.

If you notice a typo, or know of an effect that is not listed, or spot something that is wrong or poorly worded, please leave a comment to point it out to me. I don't think I got every single effect that could be listed, and I may have made a mistake somewhere, so I'm relying on you guys for that.



Compatibility
Works with build 41, in multiplayer b41. DOESNT WORK with 42.8.
It should be compatible with any mod that adds traits or skills.




Translations
B41 translations are CLOSED.
B42 translations are open , but be advised that it risks becoming obsolete soon as B42 gets more matches, and I will most likely take a couple weeks to add the translation.

Anyone is welcome to volunteer to translate to their language.



Foraging stats:
The mod details the foraging stats bonuses for each trait and profession.
Stats are : Foraging radius bonus, Weather Effect reduction, and Darkness Effect reduction and also Specialisation bonuses for every foraging category.
All foraging stats are added dynamically, which means any balance changes will be automatically updated, and other traits that get foraging stats in their descriptions (if they have foraging stats).
Source file: media/lua/shared/Foraging/forageDefinitions.lua



Character Info Screen Tooltip:
The mod displays the detailed description of each trait in the character's info screen window on mouse hover. Works for professions too (except Unemployed since it doesn't have an image).
Works with traits of other mods too! Although their descriptions probably won't be as detailed.




Dynamic Free recipes
Free recipes have been dynamically added to each trait and profession description, which means any future free recipe changes in vanilla will automatically show up on this mod, without needing to update the mod.
Modded traits will also have their free recipes added to their description, just like the foraging stats. And modded recipes will also dynamically show up if they are given for free to a trait or profession.
As of 42.8 I limited the number of recipes that can show up on one trait.




Mod Options
There are now 3 mod options :
  • Show more description
  • Show Free Recipes
  • Show Foraging Stats
So you can now disable the things you don't want to see.




Give your feedback

I've tried to be as exhaustive as possible, but I'm sure I've made some mistakes or interpreted things wrongly here and there. Please tell me in the feedback & bug reports discussions , or just leave a comment.

Why do people not read the bloody comments!? I don't expect them to go back even a single page, but just reading the comments on this page would be sufficient to tell them this is already known!

The mod is having a issue of causing trait duplication

Oh thank God I finally found the mod that was causing the insane trait duplication.
Didn't have any crashes, but man, it makes character creation annoying.
Gonna unsub for now, but will favorite the mod and check in periodically.

Awesome mod when it works. Thanks for your efforts, and I hope it's up and running again, soon!
Take your time, man; life keeps us busy, and HOPEFULLY the younger folk here can show some restraint and have patience. It's free, guys. Be patient. People don't want to do things for impatient and demanding people.

I find it hilarious that people like @vocaloidfan224 are *commenting*, without noticing that just a single comment below theirs someone said basically the exact same thing already
I'm also not missing the irony that someone said the same thing as me just a few comments ago too, but let a man be ironic.

sadly your mod is causing the game to crash, please fix it soon
