    • You can also specify a table to use your own font. It should look something the following. The file is expected to be found in the assets/fonts subdirectory within your mod.

      {
          file = "myfont.ttf",
          render_scale = G.TILESIZE*10,
          TEXT_HEIGHT_SCALE = 0.83,
          TEXT_OFFSET = {x=10,y=-20},
          FONTSCALE = 0.1,
          squish = 1,
          DESCSCALE = 1
      },
      

  • loc_key: Treats the language with the given key as a base for this one, keeping any unchanged localization strings intact and adding changes from your localization and fonts, where applicable.

You should place a localization file for your language’s translation in a file at localization/[key].lua within your mod files, where [key] is the language’s key. Steamodded will also load files named this way from other mods if the language is active. Non-existent entries default to English text.
