To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

TH Ship More Info Mod
- Adds ship description to the Ship Market and your Ship Info screens.
- Avoids being cluttered by making allowance for small screen resolutions.
- A standard version and a version that is compatible with Scout Plus.
Ships
All the stock ships and many others have descriptions. More descriptions can be added by editing the files libsShipMoreInfo.lua and langship-more-info*.json.
The ShipMoreInfo.lua file uses the name of the ship, found in the ship's definition file ships*.lua, to gain a reference to the description stored in the language files. Descriptions can be shared with multiple name variants of the same ship. To prevent a description from being truncated keep descriptions to a maximum length of around 750 characters. Test all is well by having a screen resolution of 1600 wide and viewing the ship in the Ship Market screen and edit your description as needed.
If you wish to share your additional ship descriptions with the community then leave a reply to this post and I will then include them in the mod for all to use.
Screen Resolution
In the Ship Market screen the description is displayed along side the rotating ship image. If the screen width is less than 1600 pixels then a More Info button is displayed instead to present a message of the description. The default width setting can be changed in the file libsShipMoreInfo.lua.

This looks very nice. Why don't you put it up ina PR on github, so it could find it's way into the game?
We had some talk about this kind of feature a while ago, but it seems, everybody forgot about it. I remember there were some indecision, where to put the descriptions to make the thing mod and translation-friendly at the same time.
