Tooltip for Force-Syncing Mods

Post by bmmtstb »

Hello,

while switching between different 2.0 and a heavily modded 1.1 play-throughs, some of the mods got mixed up and resulted in a faulty synchronization. After that the specific versions of some mods got mixed up, resulting in a non-playable state. To fix this I went to discord, and Boskid told me, it is possible to "ctrl-click" the sync mods button, forcing specific versions to be used. I could resume playing as usual.

But I think the user should get a little more help in a scenario like that. After the synchronization failed the first times, I even looked at the tooltip, to double-check whether I missed anything. The tooltip is fairly small and the text is similar in versions 2.0 and 1.1.

I suggest to expand the tooltip with a newline with text along the lines of "Press `ctrl+left click` to force synchronize the mods". This should show people who are reading tooltips everything they need without interfering otherwise. If a tool exists, it should be labeled - at least in my opinion.

Thanks again for boskid for his fast help

At the very least it should change the tooltip when you hold down the right modifier key, its easy to confuse command and ctrl on mac and there isn't really any feedback (not even on the panel that opens right after) whether it's a normal sync or a force sync.
