SSE MCM menu text localisation

[dizietemblesssma]

I'm having a problem with one part of my mcm menu not substituting the tokens:

I have all 9 files in data/interface/translations

Event OnKeyMapChangeST(int keyCode, string conflictControl, string conflictName)

  Bool continue = True

  If (conflictControl != "")

   string msg

   If (conflictName != "")

    ;msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n" + conflictControl + "\n (" + conflictName + ")\n \n" +"$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue?"

    msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n"+conflictControl

   Else

    msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+ "\n" + conflictControl + "\n\n"+"$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue"

   EndIf
   continue = ShowMessage(msg, True, "$Yes_text", "$No_text")

  EndIf

 

  If (continue)

  hotkey = keyCode

  SetKeyMapOptionValueST(keyCode)

  EndIf
  RegisterForKey(keyCode)

EndEvent

the line:

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n"+conflictControl

does not substitute the token, but the following does:

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"

 

so far my experiments have not been able to get the token to substitute if there is anything following the token, even tbough the following compile:

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to\n"+conflictControl

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n"+conflictControl

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n"

msg = "$This_key_is_already_mapped_to"+"\n" + conflictControl + "\n (" + conflictName + ")\n \n" +"$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue?"

 

this is based on the example from https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/wiki/MCM-Advanced-Features#Keymap

with the text tokenised

 

is token substitution not possible in this string?

I've never used \n within script before. Its always been in the translation file itself. So try the following:

 

In the script:

msg = "$This_Key_is_already_mapped_to"+conflictControl+"$LeftPuddle"+conflictName+"$RightPuddle"+$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue?"

 

In the translation file:

$This_Key_is_already_mapped_to This Key is already mapped to\n

$LeftPuddle \n(

$RightPuddle )\n\n

$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue? Are you sure you want to continue?

$LeftPuddle \n(

$RightPuddle )\n\n

$Are_you_sure_you_want_to_continue? Are you sure you want to continue?

I tried your example, and I just had a resultant text in which the tokens $LeftPuddle and $RightPuddle appear.

 

It just seems odd that that the MCM documentation gives an example:

msg = "This key is already mapped to:\n\"" + conflictControl + "\"\n(" + conflictName + ")\n\nAre you sure you want to continue?"

that seems unable to be tokenised.

The example comes immediately after the section on the same page about how to localise a menu! :smile:

 

I should also point out that I have the function block:

string Function GetCustomControl(int keyCode)

If (keyCode == hotkey)

  Return "$hotkey_name"

Else

  Return ""

EndIf

EndFunction

as recommended in the documenatation, the "$hotkey_name" token is also not substituted although the translation file has:

$hotkey_name Hotkey for adding NPCs

Maybe it is your use of underscores.

 

In one of my mods I have the following as the text label

$Minimum strikes per ore

and the following as the end result

Minimum strike sets per ore \n Strike Set = 3 attack hits or 3 animation swings

Well, I seem to have found the answer, from the skyui github page no less!

This post:

https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/issues/78#issuecomment-427883582

 

suggests the following:

 

English translation key:
$KeyMapConflict{}{} This key is already mapped to:\n{}\n({})\n\nAre you sure you want to continue?

Papyrus script
msg = "$KeyMapConflict{" + a_conflictControl + "}{" + a_conflictName + "}"

 

and so far, that's working!

Why I don't know, but that's another day - if ever. :smile:
