About this mod Author’s original text

What is SmartFormat?

SmartFormat is a lightweight text templating library written in C#.

It can format various data sources into a string with a minimal, intuitive syntax similar to string.Format. All formatting takes place at runtime.

SmartFormat uses extensions to provide named placeholders, localization, pluralization, gender conjugation, as well as list and time formatting. Formatting extensions can be nested.

Custom source or formatter extensions can be added easily using simple interfaces.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
