Tenians Language Chat Extension for select FG 3.0 rulesets

Sweet! Thx Trenloe.

Hmm . . with the update have we lost the ability to use /setlanguage - /setl in the 5e ruleset to add custom languages? Entering either of those with the previously working examples pulls up the /help window and /listlanguages is not working either?

This is now a built-in feature, but it works a little bit differently. You can add your own custom languages now by opening your Preferences/Options and then clicking on the Languages button to open the Languages Window. To change the language spoken, select the dropdown in the chat window.

OMG! I must have had the Option window open about 5 times tonight and never saw that button. :( Thanks D!

Any joy wth this, Trenloe? Since my players use the functionality of this extension all the time, I'm reluctant to udate to v3.1.3 until I know it can replicate all of it...

The v3.1.3 implementation has all the same features (except using Windows and controls instead of chat entry commands), but it just doesn't include some of the custom fonts in the extension due to licensing restrictions.

I'm thinking what we are going to need is an extension that brings in some extra fonts, seems like it shouldn't be too hard to do based on the way the code works.. also I noted that the Halfling language wasn't included in the standard list... a PF languages extension (for example) would be pretty simple to do.

The only thing the v3.1.3 implementation is missing from the original extension (except the custom fonts that Smiteworks can't distribute, that I am working on putting in an extension) is the ability to export custom font mappings to a module for future use in another campaign. You'll need to do manual custom font mappings in each campaign.

The other thing the 'new way' doesn't seem to do anymore is that it is a straight mapping of the characters to another font.. hence you can drag the text to 'cheat' the translation. The module actually was doing some tricky stuff to mask the text when not translated.

It actually scrambles the text unless it's understood. Check it out on the player side.
