localised description for shortcuts
localised description for shortcuts
Currently shortcuts either have the spawned item's description or nothing at all, it would be nice if you could add a description for lua shortcuts and such.
Re: localised description for shortcuts
You can give your shortcut a description by assigning the description to your shortcut via "localised_name".

Re: localised description for shortcuts
Isn't that just the name? i am referring to what comes after the horizontal line under it.
Re: localised description for shortcuts
No, this is the text that is displayed as a tooltip when you hover over the shortcut icon in the shortcut bar. Do you mean something else?

Re: localised description for shortcuts
You can currently only set the name, the description is only there when the shortcut spawns an item, otherwise it is always blank:

Specifically I'd like to be able to alter the description of the Spidertron Remote shortcut. Currently it is hardcoded, and I can sort of override it by re-defining the locale key of one of the bullet points but
a) that looks a bit weird as I can only alter text of existing bullet points, not add more
b) I can't do that dynamically depending on mod settings, existence of other mods, etc, which I would like to be able to do (so I need `localised_description`)
