EZ Text Replacer API

EZ Text Replacer API

This is an API for modders that enables easily replacing in-game text and dialog.

To use this API in your own projects, include MM_EZ_Text_Replacer_API:2.0.0 as a dependency in your mod.toml,

and download the API header from GitHub here.

The main header contains a large amound of EZTR's documentation, but more information can be found in the online documentation here.

In addition to simple text replacements, v2.0.0 offers:

• Dynamically generates messages using a callback system.
• Support for adding new message entries. Use EZTR to quickly implement additional dialog for your mods.
• Tools and functions for and generating manipulating message strings, including a specialized version of the printf family of functions.

EZ Text Replacer is simple to use. For example, the following code is used to replace the all dialog related the Razor Sword's breaking after 100 uses.
