I love when I wonder if a concept exists and yes, someone has taken the time to make it and release it publicly. Thank you

Congratulations on finishing all your work, my friend.🎉🎉🎉
Fragger 19 Jun, 2024 @ 7:12am 
Is there another way to add friends? Like a link? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with using Discord.

I don't know why I didn't see it. Is the username "theharber" , joined on 17th March 2023 correct? But I see it's still pending.

@Fragger I reached out on Discord a little bit ago-- thanks again for all of your hard work, and I'm looking forward to speaking more soon!
Fragger 19 Jun, 2024 @ 6:19am 
I have completed everything, including English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. I will send it to you on Discord. Although I did a quick check in the game, I didn't enable the -Debug mode, so I think you still need to review the code to catch any errors.
Fragger 19 Jun, 2024 @ 2:46am 
I'm almost done.
Fragger 19 Jun, 2024 @ 1:06am 
I just added you on Discord. If your username is "theharber" (my username is glass_bin). I have enough time today to work on the language files. Barring any unexpected issues, I should be able to finish within a few hours, and I'll send them to you. Feel free to make any modifications; this belongs to you. Thanks again!

@theharber:
It's okay, it's not a big deal. Many mods do not include language files, and it's the author's choice. No one should demand that authors must do it this way.

I'm glad you're willing to take the time to reply to me and even update files for this. I've made translation patches for several mods without language files. When I messaged their authors, they didn't even say "no" or "yes" to me, and I hardly got any response, which was quite disheartening. Of course, a big part of it is that these authors are no longer active, which is understandable.

When I messaged you, I hadn't started editing yet; I just copied the files. If you're busy, I can help you with the modifications and then send them to you. After all, it's just a matter of adding "getText()" to the text, which isn't a complex operation, just repetitive work.

@Fragger, I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention;

I feel embarrassed to have made such a glaring omission in my translation data! I'd like to re-approach the way I wrote the mod with translation accessibility in mind, though I'm honored that you like the idea enough to want to contribute!

I'll try to have something uploaded within the next day or two. I plan to give you a shout out in the workshop notes either way, but feel free to contact me on Discord if you have anything started already or want to get more directly involved :)

Can I make a translated version? I found that the language file only contains the content of "sandbox," and things like "ContextMenu" are not included. So, I need to make some minor modifications to the file. I will extract TVGuide.lua, create a language file, translate it. After completion, if you allow, I will upload it as a new mod in patch form, with your mod as a prerequisite, and all links pointing to you. If you prefer that I don't upload it, I will use it for myself without sharing. Perhaps I will include the content of "sandbox" in my translation mod, or I will submit it to you to include in your next update?

@o2o2

Thanks for pointing that out, I must have accidentally overwritten it; fixed now!

Hello!
Can you provide Mod ID and name?
I want to place this mod on a server :)
Thanks!

@Kenpachi, I just added a sandbox option so you can choose to spawn with a TV Guide <3

@Fragger, I'm glad you like it! I appreciate the feedback <333
Fragger 7 Jun, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
simple and coolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll:steamhappy:
theharber  [author] 21 May, 2024 @ 3:57pm 
@Kenpachi, it doesn't spawn in your inventory but there are additional chances for the TV Guide to spawn in all of the living room areas, and the newspaper has the same functionality. Personally, I've never had an issue finding either after a couple houses, but I can include a sandbox / mod option to start with one, if that would be preferable?

(fun fact- when a new world is created, the TV automatically plays a program on Life & Living, regardless of what start time is selected)
Kenpa 21 May, 2024 @ 9:44am 
Very cool. Will it spawn in our inventory or do I need to make a mad dash and start searching?
Blessed Mother 16 May, 2024 @ 6:33pm 
@theharber Cool beans!

Personally, these are the tv modded shows I am subscribed to:

Grandma Tailoring TV Show
Farmer Floyd TV Show
Electrical Ethan TV Show
Nurse Rse TV Show
Doctor Show - Estate, MD! [MP Updated!]
Fishing John TV Show

@Blessed Mother & @ELTR101, thank you for your kind words!

It currently only supports the Vanilla channels as I've hardcoded the program names, timestamps, etc, but I've just added a 'Mod Compatibility' discussion so I can keep track of what mods people would like me to add support for. :)
Blessed Mother 11 May, 2024 @ 11:16pm 
Great work! Does it apply to all the different custom TV station mods out there, or just vanilla?
ELTR101 11 May, 2024 @ 10:12pm 
it does feel like a vanilla feature, im surprised it isn't a feature already
theharber  [author] 11 May, 2024 @ 9:23pm 
@ELTR101 I’m really glad you enjoy the mod, and thanks for the feedback!

Some people don’t mind alt-tabbing between wiki and the game for this kind of stuff, but I wanted something that felt like a Vanilla feature.
ELTR101 11 May, 2024 @ 10:56am 
Man this is gonna help me out so much
