Rocketman, ya, it did. And it was also quite brittle and prone to failing to invalidate the cache when it should have. It was also caching specifically the XML patching and parsing, which isn't the same thing this would be trying to cache.

if i recall correctly didnt the faster game loading mod do a cache now that i think about it

Caching would be completely pointless. The game already loads all description strings into memory, appending a little extra to the end is a nearly instantaneous operation - saving and loading from a cache file would be much slower. And as you mentioned, the cache would need to be invalitaed whenever a mod updates which would also require slow operations to detect.
I have had no complaints about load times or memory usage since this mod launched apart from that last guy and I suspect that he was having other problems.

@Killer29687
From my own understanding, yes, but also not really in any way super convenient. The game doesn't know when a mod's been updated, so you'd have to recache it basically every single time. Also, even if you cache it, it doesn't really solve the issue.
Sure, it reduces the number of file opening/closing, but in any scenario where it's worth potentially curbing loading times, now it has to read a really large file, which reduces the gain that would've been gotten by reducing the number of files that have to happen.

does it work with moods

out of curiousity if ppl complain about loading stuff... isnt there a way to implement a cache?

Okay. I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe this mod isn't for you then.

i did disable that by the way. but it still makes the game take so long to boot up

Buddy are you alright...?
I genuinely don't know what you mean by randomness and I've had exactly zero reports of this consuming excessive RAM (which I know that it doesn't, it appends a couple of letters to the end of a description).
If scanning patches is taking too long (although I doubt it very much, it takes only a second with a huge mod pack) there is a setting to disable it.

heck it makes the game take like over 1200 times longer to load on my sistem evene ona good start up this mod knida needs some ver yserosu optasion

not only that it makes mac os stall form the sear ramdomness

no i'm not kding aobut the mod eating so much ram during teh whole prcces so i had to unsubcirbe bescue it EATS SO MUCH F***ing ram fomr its radomness bacly makes the rgamr eat ram for no good real reason.

also its random ness has goten so bad its actly mesing up my game just radomly on mac os bescue mac os doesnt likeit being so random all teh F***ing time.

well this mod would be good but it eats ram like no body bissnius and i think i'm giongto have to unintiall it bescue it makes the game LAGGG so much for prelading al lteh pacths all at ocne evene the ones it doesnt evene need.

Godly mod.

Thank you so much

Awesome suggestion by blin , thanks alot for this mod

Would it be possible to make it work on moodlets?

perfect mod ! just what i need

I have to echo тетеря, блин's suggestion! That would be awesome!

is it possible to combine somehow with Cherry Picker or Resource Dictionary, so player could not only see what mod added that, but also completely remove and disable from showing? also would be great to see somehow what commands were added from what mods.

thanks

@Quilava Vanilla Rimworld actually does tell you which mod things come from in the info tab but it doesn't cover everything like with research

a fancier mod than 'show mod designators' i don't mind!

216 mods? those are rookie numbers, i have 821 in my modpack (and it is now bricked because people update mods to 1.6)

Thank you for bring this to 1.6, how the heck dev havent make this vanilla yet?

I was using another mod and noticed various hidden factions that I had no knowledge of, including
The Lost
Snow Army
Unknown Twilight
this mod allowed me to figure out what added them - and why I should eradicate them

Small bug: text cut off during "Choose your ideoligion" screen: {LINK REMOVED}https://i.imgur.com/2xm9fB7.png

I have a few hundred mods. This one is absolutely necessary! Thank you!

I am getting quite a few errors when loading the client while having this and Combat Extended, specifically What's that For edits on CE ammo.

This work for genes? I most often need this for genes.

Is this supposed to not work in the create xenotype menu?

I went ahead and changed my mod to just write each Def description in a new paragraph, something I was thinking of doing anyways. The tag appears multiple times but it looks nice so it's alright

Hi yes this mod edits the descriptions directly for performance reasons. This mod queues up a long event (LongEventHandler.QueueLongEvent()) in its mod constructor, which then edits the descriptions.
Unfortunately the order of execution of mod constructors is random each run (thanks, Tynan) so there is no reliable way to run before or after it.
The code is available on the Github page linked above, I don't really have time to think of a good workaround but if you do let me know and I can put it in this mod if necessary.

Heya, I'm having some issues with formatting descriptions when it comes to combining What's That Mod with my mod Flavor Text. It works alright, but within the description for some of my items, the What's That Mod tag appears in the middle of the description.

I can see where it's coming from, since the description in question is made by combining the description of one Def with the labels of some other Defs. Does your mod edit the Defs descriptions directly? And do you have an advised approach to making sure the What's That Mod tag appears at the end?

I recommend disabling the CE integration. It has not been updated or tested for a very long time so issues like that are expected until I have the time to investigate.

CE team said following:
"the problem is that it assumes that the generified ammo is still going to have a linked projectile, which it doesn't"

The scissor blade is from my other mod RimForged

@PhatGomeB0ss Pretty sure the blade is from this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1802091225&searchtext=K.L.K (months later but still)

one of the best QOL mods <3

Amazing thumbnail

No, sorry.

@Epicguru
Any chance this mod could be extended to include gizmos? :D

The best modification, thank you!

@mightymit in that case you might also like this ;)

I have to say please never remove the lady from the mod image. It makes me laugh every time

I originally made this mod because originally ShowModDesignators had loads of bugs, and no customisation options. Maybe Mlie has fixed the bugs since he continued it, I don't know. Use whichever you prefer.

What difference between this and ShowModDesignators ?

YES, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOD THATS WHAT IM LOOKING FOR HOURS!

Thanks Epicguru for fixing it so fast, as well as creating one of the most useful mods for Rimworld

Works without issue on 1.4 again
