About this project

What does Typing Indicator add?

Server / Singleplayer compatible. Must be installed on both client and server for it to successfully function.

Server owners, when you update this mod it will replace your configuration.
1. Go to VintagestoryData/ModConfig/typing_indicator/
2. Adjust VintagestoryData/ModConfig/typing_indicator/config.json with the localization text each update.
2.1. Your old configuration files have been moved to VintagestoryData/ModConfig/typing_indicator/out_of_date_configs/config_(version).json. You can copy/paste what's changed; this is just a safety thing in case the server packets change in the future. In most cases unless otherwise specified, you can basically copy paste everything above READONLY_CreatedWithTypingIndicatorVersion to the new configuration.

Changelog - Version 1.1.2

Should fix https://github.com/FatigueDev/typing_indicator/issues/2, which is a null reference exception when the display text is null in the renderer. Prevents players with rough connections from crashing, instead temporarily displaying the default english localization before the server finishes sending it's preferred configuration to be displayed.

Changelog - Version 1.1.1

Hotfix for singleplayer, should hopefully fix https://github.com/FatigueDev/typing_indicator/issues/1 reported by WickedSchnitzel

Changelog - Version 1.1.0

Server Owners / Singleplayers:
When the game is run, it spits out a new configuration file containing the following defaults:

{ "Localizations": { "en": "Typing..." }, "Timeout": 5.0, "MaxRange": 50, "READONLY_CreatedWithTypingIndicatorVersion": "1.1.0" }

Localizations can be appended to and given custom text. The default is "en": "Typing...", but once the configuration is created it can be changed while the server is running. Players re-log, they get the updated contents of this config applied to their TypingIndicator.

Timeout is how long a player can not type before they stop displaying their indicator in seconds.

MaxRange is how far players can see each other's typing indicators (NOT in blocks, it's a magic distance number. Please tweak this until you're happy with how far away it is displayed.

READONLY_CreatedWithTypingIndicatorVersion is a flag for creating configs. If the mod updates, we'll move your old config to ModConfig/typing_indicator/out_of_date_configs/ so you can copy and paste your old configuration settings to potentially a new configuration format. I don't think it'll be updated often, but if and when it is you'll need to keep this in mind.
