Alles anzeigenWow, I definitely didn't expect such a quick response like that. Definitely my English knowledge is better than my German, sorry I couldn't find the forum in English. Anyway, you understood my message perfectly. I understand the complexity behind implementing an application like Optolith and I believe that currently it would not be ideal for me to manage such a fork on Github.
So I would be happy just to know where I could request some assistance around here for this process of customizing a culture in TDE.
Thank you for such a quick and enlightening reply.
(Although I understand English better, it is still not my first language, so again apologies for any errors. I used Deepl this time). 🥳I'm sorry I couldn’t answer you that fast this time, but I was already asleep at 4am! 😅😜🙈 And no worries for not finding the English forum, it might not be that easy in a mostly-German forum!! 😮🙂❤️
I’m glad tho that I did understand your question in the first place! 😅 Concerning your follow-up question:
I’m sorry that I ask again (I do want to make it 100% sure that my answer actually answers your question 🙈🙈🥺) but do you mean assistance for creating a custom culture right now or do you mean assistance for bringing the customization feature to Optolith.
Because, in the former case, as the previous sentence might have already hinted at, it is not possible right now. At least not without continuous work from yourself.
In the latter case: Hmm, might be difficult right now. I’m in the process of reworking a lot of parts since it’s required for both future book implementations as well as breaking changes in frameworks I use and where I still want to use supported versions! 😬🙈 My current working branch for that topic is not usable at all and I don’t think it would make sense to work on something on the old branch since that would have to be adjusted for the reworks and thus would basically double your work. So I don’t know if helping with this topic, at least in a coding way, would make sense right now! 😕 I’m still thinking of the best way to integrate custom entries into the app, since it would be required to separate them from the official database (to avoid conflicts), but at the same time they need to be handled together when for example looking up a culture identifier. It must search in both official and custom culture lists. And, yeah, not quite how to implement that in a clean way.
I don’t know if that helped and I need to apologize for maybe not understanding your question, it’s probably because I’m still a bit tired! 😬🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🥺
(BTW: The DeepL results are *much* better IMO. You usually have the feeling that it’s not been translated by an app while with Google Translate it feels like it’s the opposite! 😅🙈)
I think I was not clear enoth . I would like to know where I can ask for some help about the process of customizing a culture in the TDE system. There is no TDE material in my language yet, so I am afraid of doing it wrong and causing problems for my players in the long run. I would just like to know where I can talk about this, because even though I have searched many websites (where most of them I don't understand even half of what is said without the help of a translator) I haven't found any forum or article about this yet. Reading the core book I don't think that customizing cultures is a very arduous task, but I wouldn't want to take the risk.
Sorry if I am taking too long on a subject that is not even the purpose of this forum, but since we are already here, I want to move towards a solution.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
And congratulations on all the work you've done with Optolith and the forum!!!!
