Pixelmon Broadcasts

Warning: This sidemod is a work in progress, and may cause issues. Proceed with caution, and report any bugs.

Pixelmon Broadcasts is a sidemod for Pixelmon that adds an assortment of configurable messages for tons of Pixelmon events, and also logs these events to console if set up to do so.

Installation

Minecraft version	Pixelmon version	Pixelmon Broadcasts version
1.12.2	6.3.0+	0.1.1

Pixelmon Broadcasts is meant to be run on a server. It may work on the client, but this is currently untested. SpongeForge is required.

1. Download Pixelmon Broadcasts for your version of Minecraft and Pixelmon.
2. Place the downloaded .jar file in the mods folder, along with SpongeForge.
3. Start the server and wait for it to load.
4. Open the PixelmonBroadcasts.conf file in the server's config folder, and edit to taste.
5. Use the /pixelmonbroadcasts reload command to load any changes into Pixelmon Broadcasts.

Translation

Almost all of the non-console messages in Pixelmon Broadcasts can be edited, and a Dutch translation comes pre-included. This process is entirely optional.

Using an existing translation

1. Shut down the server.
2. Open the mod's .jar file with a program like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
3. Navigate to the assets/pixelmonbroadcasts/lang folder.
4. Move en_US.lang somewhere safe, and delete it from the .jar.
5. Find a language file for the language you want to use.
6. Rename the file to en_US.lang.
7. Move the changed file back to the location of the original.
8. Boot the server.

Creating or editing translations

1. Shut down the server.
2. Open the mod's .jar file with a program like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
3. Navigate to the assets/pixelmonbroadcasts/lang folder.
4. Move en_US.lang somewhere safe, and delete it from the .jar.
5. Make a copy of en_US.lang.
6. Open this copy with a text editor of choice.
7. Make any changes you want to make to this file.
8. If necessary, rename the file to en_US.lang.
9. Move the changed file back to location of the original.
10. Boot the server.

Please note that the translation system is very likely to get changed in future versions, and that work done here may not necessarily carry over!
