Heroes Locale Text is a .NET library used to parse tooltip descriptions and provide readable friendly verbiage. Descriptions must already be xml parsed out and it's values computed.
Valid descriptions are the gamestrings from heroes-data.
Parse a provided gamestring using TooltipDescription
and call one of the properties.
TooltipDescription tooltipDescription = new("Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals <c val=\"bfd4fd\">153~~0.04~~</c> damage and reveals the enemy for <c val=\"bfd4fd\">4</c> seconds. Lasts <c val=\"bfd4fd\">90</c> seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to <c val=\"bfd4fd\">3</c> charges.");
string a = tooltipDescription.RawDescription;
string b = tooltipDescription.PlainText;
string d = tooltipDescription.PlainTextWithNewlines;
string c = tooltipDescription.PlainTextWithScaling;
string e = tooltipDescription.PlainTextWithScalingWithNewlines;
string f = tooltipDescription.ColoredText;
string g = tooltipDescription.ColoredTextWithScaling;
// a: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals <c val=\"bfd4fd\">153~~0.04~~</c> damage and reveals the enemy for <c val=\"bfd4fd\">4</c> seconds. Lasts <c val=\"bfd4fd\">90</c> seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to <c val=\"bfd4fd\">3</c> charges."
// b: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals 153 damage and reveals the enemy for 4 seconds. Lasts 90 seconds. Stores up to 3 charges."
// c: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals 153 damage and reveals the enemy for 4 seconds. Lasts 90 seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to 3 charges."
// d: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals 153 (+4% per level) damage and reveals the enemy for 4 seconds. Lasts 90 seconds. Stores up to 3 charges."
// e: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals 153 (+4% per level) damage and reveals the enemy for 4 seconds. Lasts 90 seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to 3 charges."
// f: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals <c val=\"bfd4fd\">153</c> damage and reveals the enemy for <c val=\"bfd4fd\">4</c> seconds. Lasts <c val=\"bfd4fd\">90</c> seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to <c val=\"bfd4fd\">3</c> charges."
// g: "Spawn a mine that becomes active after a short time. Deals <c val=\"bfd4fd\">153 (+4% per level)</c> damage and reveals the enemy for <c val=\"bfd4fd\">4</c> seconds. Lasts <c val=\"bfd4fd\">90</c> seconds.<n/><n/>Stores up to <c val=\"bfd4fd\">3</c> charges."
The localization of the gamestring can also be passed in using StormLocale
. By default it is ENUS.
TooltipDescription tooltipDescription = new("Feuert drei Geschosse auf ein Zielgebiet, die dem ersten getroffenen Gegner jeweils <c val=\"bfd4fd\">147~~0.035~~</c> Schaden zufügen. Die Geschosse fügen Gebäuden <c val=\"bfd4fd\">50%</c> des Schadens zu.", StormLocale.DEDE);
string result = tooltipDescription.PlainTextWithScaling;
// result: "Feuert drei Geschosse auf ein Zielgebiet, die dem ersten getroffenen Gegner jeweils 147 (+3,5% pro Stufe) Schaden zufügen. Die Geschosse fügen Gebäuden 50% des Schadens zu."
To build and compile the code, it is recommended to use the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code.
Another option is to use the dotnet CLI tools from the .NET Core 8.0 SDK.
