English

What this mod does

White Knuckle Item Tooltips adds a dedicated dark tooltip card for items you inspect in the world or inventory.

• Item names, categories, descriptions, and known effects.
• English and Russian databases for the same canonical item set.
• Runtime stats are read from the game when available instead of inventing exact numbers.
• Long descriptions wrap cleanly inside the custom tooltip card.
• X switches between spoiler-safe and full descriptions.
• A prominent clickable LANGUAGE: EN / LANGUAGE: RU button appears in the upper-right of the main menu.
• The selected language and safe/full-information choice are saved between launches.

Installation Mod Manager

• Click Install / r2modman / a compatible manager.
• The required BepInExPack dependency is installed automatically.
• Launch White Knuckle and play.

No BepInEx.cfg edit is required in v0.3.0+. The mod owns a hidden persistent runtime host and works with the normal/default BepInEx manager visibility as well as HideManagerGameObject = true if you already use it.

Manual installation

• Install BepInExPack for White Knuckle.
• Either extract the package into the game root folder, or copy the mod folder into BepInEx/plugins.
• Launch the game and play. No BepInEx config edit is required.

Normal complete layout:

BepInEx/plugins/WhiteKnuckleItemTooltipsRU/

WhiteKnuckleItemTooltips.dll

items_en.json

items_ru.json

A DLL-only manual install is also supported: WhiteKnuckleItemTooltips.dll may be placed directly in BepInEx/plugins or in its own subfolder. EN/RU databases are embedded in the DLL as a fallback. Valid external items_en.json / items_ru.json beside the DLL override the embedded copies, so advanced users can still edit them.

Language button

The main menu contains an intentionally prominent clickable button:

LANGUAGE: EN / LANGUAGE: RU

• Switching language changes Item Tooltips and, when WKLoc is installed, the full game UI.
• A successful switch is saved first, then Main-Menu reloads immediately.
• X is independent from language selection and continues to control safe/full item information.

English Item Tooltips: WKLoc is NOT required.

Russian full-game UI + Russian Item Tooltips through the LANGUAGE button: WKLoc is required.

If you click RU without a compatible loaded WKLoc, the mod stays in English, does not reload, and shows exactly:

Russian localization requires WKLoc

On first run, the mod defaults to Russian if compatible WKLoc is already loaded; otherwise it defaults to English. A manual language choice is persisted afterwards.

Safe / full information (X)

Press X while playing to toggle:

• Safe mode — shorter descriptions intended to avoid unnecessary spoilers.
• Full mode — more direct mechanical or spoiler-bearing information when the database contains it.
