[Feature Request] Rename abilities
coup321 opened this issue ยท 2 comments
Describe the problem
I want to be able to rename abilities that go on status bars.
What steps will reproduce the problem? NA
Consider attaching a screenshot below to help describe your issue (Attach directly, do not link to other websites)
I would like it to look like this:
What version of LittleWigs are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)
Latest
Do you have an error log of what happened? NA
Any additional information? (example: WoW language if not English)
I build in the functionality that I want by creating a new lua file building a global table _G.bigwigs_name_overrides and then adding the following lines to BossPrototype.lua starting at line 2643 in the current (12/19/2023) version of the file.
local msg = textType == "string" and text or spells[text or key]
if _G.big_wigs_overrides[msg] then
msg = _G.big_wigs_overrides[msg]
end
The custom table looks like this (limited section of the table):
_G.big_wigs_overrides = {
...
['Chrono-faded'] = 'Debuffs',
['Fragments of Time'] = 'Orbs',
['Corrosive Infusion'] = 'Debuff',
['Blight Reclamation'] = 'Breath (Clears)',
['Necrotic Winds'] = 'Winds',
...
}
I'm happy to contribute to the project if this is a feature that would be in line with the addon's goals.

LittleWigs is a content pack, it doesn't handle core features. See #655
Currently renames are dealt with manually by module devs.
You can see examples of this in the Amirdrassil mods.
If you want to request specific spells be renamed in the addon, I'd make a separate LittleWigs issue with a list.
If you want to PR specific renames, go ahead, the examples are in the Amirdrassil mods.
