Patches

Currency Culture

Fixes the in-game currency display that was hardcoded to German locale (which uses decimal points as thousand separators). It now uses your system's culture settings for proper number formatting.

Single-Player Chat

Enables access to the chat window in single-player mode by tricking the game into thinking you're in multiplayer. The chat window is normally disabled entirely in single player, but this patch allows you to open it and use it for command testing.

• NOTE: Text-to-speech functionality is not currently available as it would require a decent amount of modification to the game's networking layer. This may be added in the future but isn't high priority.

Chat Character Limit

Enhances the chat system with multiple customization options, allowing you to adjust how chat appears and functions in-game.

• Config Path: BepInEx/config/org.ccarrmcmahon.plugins.repo.essentials.cfg
• Settings:
  • [Chat] CharacterLimit = 250 - The maximum number of characters allowed in chat messages (default: 250)
  • [Chat] ChatTextWidth = 525 - The width of the chat area in pixels (default: 525)
  • [Chat] CharacterSpacing = -0.5 - The spacing between characters in chat (default: -0.5)
  • [Chat] LineSpacing = -60 - The spacing between lines in chat (default: -60)
• NOTE: These are client-side adjustments as there is no default support for these as server configurations.

Unreleased

0.3.5 - 2025-03-25

Added

• Created this CHANGELOG.md file to track releases better (#20).
• Introduced a new step in the build script to include this file in the release package.

Changed

• Reduced the default value of [Chat] LineSpacing to -45 to avoid overlap with large characters such as brackets.
• Refactored the config table in README.md to better show the range of valid values.
• Renamed the CurrentCulture class to CurrencyCulture so it matches the file and patch name.

Fixed

• Configuration adjusted to work with RepoConfig (#18).
  • Note: A game restart is currently required after changing config values as they are injected at launch.
