BetterTooltips

BetterTooltips

Rewrites the game's skill and status tooltips so they stop leaving out what matters,

and fixes small text defects. No gameplay change.

• GUID: com.gumatos.bettertooltips
• Version: 0.1.3
• Works with: Stolen Realm v1.3.1.
• Needs: BepInEx 5 (r2modman installs it for you).

What it does

The game's tooltips sometimes leave out the half that decides the fight: which attribute

feeds the number, the stack limit, the duration, who is affected, the trigger, the number

of hits. The text is not wrong — it is incomplete.

The mod completes it:

• Every game text passes through one place before it is shown; the mod compares that text

with a table of fixes and mechanic notes.

• The missing explanation is added at the end of the tooltip, in the game's own

special text colour, so it stands apart from the official text.

• Plain mistakes (spelling, punctuation, double spaces) are fixed directly.

Every note is based on the game's own code, not on opinion — and where the game cannot

be observed at that moment, the note says what is assumed.

Shrine auras

The game's shrine tooltips always showed the base value, even for a character with

the bonus that multiplies the aura. The mod does the maths with the real bonus of the

character in focus — the Shrine Effect Bonus (Omnism I/II, the Worship perk

and the Horn of Devotion). A base 20% becomes the number you actually receive.

It also adds a line listing every shrine aura the character is receiving right now,

with two numbers per aura: what the auras give you, and your total in that attribute

(the same number shown on the character sheet).

The number is raw, before any damage reduction: armour, resistance and later

mitigation are not counted. When there is no proof (character outside the aura, an

attribute missing from the build), the original text is left untouched and the log

says why — the mod does not guess.

Verification

The numbers were written against the game's code and data, and the Worship doubling was

measured in game. The final visual check of the new lines on screen had not been

done at the last revision — if a line does not match what you see, that is where to

report it.

What it does not do

• No gameplay change — no value, damage, cost or rule changes; it only rewrites text.
• No game file is modified (nor the save) and nothing is left behind.
• Does not reveal the Chaos draw — that is on purpose: the tree's fun is not knowing.
• Does not show a number without proof — it keeps the original text instead.
• Does not apply mitigation — the number is the raw formula result.

Install

r2modman (recommended): install this package in the Stolen Realm profile — the DLL

goes to BepInEx\plugins\BetterTooltips\.

Manual: install BepInEx 5 x64 (or press "Start modded" once in r2modman to create

the folders), then copy the BetterTooltips folder to:

%APPDATA%\r2modmanPlus-local\StolenRealm\profiles\Default\BepInEx\plugins\

The file must end up as...\plugins\BetterTooltips\BetterTooltips.dll.

Uninstall

Delete the folder BepInEx\plugins\BetterTooltips\ (or untick the package in r2modman)

and open the game again. No game file was ever changed.

Build from source

cd BetterTooltips

dotnet build -p:DeployToBepInEx=false

Output: bin\Debug\netstandard2.1\BetterTooltips.dll. The reference DLLs come from the

game and are never distributed. The flag keeps the build local: without it the

DeployToBepInEx target also copies the DLL into

\BepInEx\plugins\BetterTooltips\ on the machine that built it — a bare

dotnet build installs.

Português (BR)

Reescreve os tooltips de skills e status para pararem de omitir o que decide: qual

atributo alimenta o número, limite de stacks, duração, quem é afetado, o gatilho, o número

de golpes. Acrescenta a explicação que falta no fim do tooltip, na cor especial do jogo,

e corrige erros simples de texto. As auras de shrine passam a mostrar o número com o

seu bônus real. Não altera gameplay.
