It does not. There is another mod for that.

But does it change the ancient text written on the walls?

I'm actually working on finding that star so i can add it to the text file. Haven't found it yet strangely.

Do note that using this on the latest version of Starbound will force you to sacrifice that cute little star symbol that weapons upgraded at the ancient weapon upgrade anvil get, replacing it with a yellow square instead. But if you can live with that, this mod is for you!

First you want to download a program called AutoHotkey from https://autohotkey.com
Once this is done, download the following folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cenvh02gsopgnt/of%20the%20ancient%20tongue.zip?dl=0
Inside is an edited version of the hobo font used by Starbound (the same font file used in this mod), and an autohotkey script for typing the language out.
When run, the script will automatically be on and you probably notice you can't do anything. Turn the script off by pressing F12. Then when you want to type out in the Ancient Language, press F12 again and ONLY TYPE IN LOWER CASE. If you don't notice letters with permanent underlines, or Ancient itself, you're not typing in it.

If you could explain in detail how to do this I'd appreciate

A program called Autohotkeys. You can set nearly anything on a button press, so for every push of a normal letter, it could be replaced with ancient instead.

This does still leave one question unanswered..... How do people post the ancient alphabet in chat to begin with?

Starbounder wiki has it all pretranslated for me. It's just an issue of getting them smoothed out to still look old and then writing their actual english text on them. Thanks for the help tho. :^)

In the vaults when the murals are placed together it says "We advanced as we were designed. We reached the great kind one. It warned us of the final plague. The threat to all that thrive. The great one had a plan. A door of keys for the chosen but we were builders not heroes. In the evil that the plan was carved in the infinite sanctuary. To salvage what little life we could we were designed to not remain as is the great kind one. Its legacy will be it's remnants and ours shall be our temples."

To confirm, yes, I (mod creator on other account) will be retexturing ingame objects to be readable as well. From the small tablet that says "it will return" to the overly large Mural in the vaults.
