Alternative to adding content to strings.lua

[RickyBelanger]

I'm adding a new sentient item into the game for my mod character, Trying to add strings for when dropped, picked up, in container, etc have proven difficult without modding strings.lua... anyone out there willing to give some tips?

Thanks

If I remember correctly, there's a global variable (Probably GLOBAL.Strings) which you can modify dynamically. You can use N-Tools to look through variables in-game.

The "STRINGS" table is a global variable. From modmain and files loaded from modmain, you can access it using "GLOBAL.STRINGS". e.g. To rename pine trees, use:

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.EVERGREEN = "Neverclean"
