v0.10.0 - Spanish translation support & quieter, clearer sonars

Choose a tag to compare

@aefren aefren released this 09 Jul 18:44

Feature release on top of v0.9.6. Two big themes: the mod now works alongside the community Spanish translation, and the always-on sonars got a full audio tuning pass so the soundscape is calmer and easier to localize.

New

  • Spanish translation support. If you play Fear & Hunger with the community Spanish translation installed, the accessibility mod now works with it. The spatial sonars that detect their targets by on-screen text — containers, notes, altars, fire, traps, corpses and the rest — recognise the Spanish text too, so nothing goes silent under the translation. The New Game character-select screen also reads its class descriptions ("Mercenario", "Caballero", "Sacerdote Oscuro", "Forastero") in Spanish. The correct language is picked automatically from the installed game data — no extra setup, and it keys off the game files rather than your operating-system language, so an English Windows running the Spanish patch still gets Spanish. English play is unaffected. For the full details — how to install a translation alongside the mod, and the one folder you must not copy from a translation package — see the README (included in the zip and attached to this release as README.md).
  • Pan Strength / Pitch Strength parameters on every sonar and on the interactables-menu beacon — the equivalent of a panning-strength control. Default 110%: left/right panning and the up/down pitch shift are 10% stronger per tile, so positions are easier to tell apart by ear. Set them per plugin (100 = the old behaviour).

Changed

  • Half the pings. The always-on sonars were too noisy. All ten fast sonars now ping every 2 seconds when far (was 1) and every second when near (was half a second). NoteSonar keeps its own slower cadence.
  • Lower volumes across the mix. EnemySonar 90 → 60, AltarSonar 60 → 40, FireSonar and DoorSonar 45 → 30, CorpseSonar 30 → 15. The loudness hierarchy is preserved — threats loudest, landmarks middle, corpses quietest — just quieter overall.
