Description
Mod Help repurposes the game's Help UI to display all installed mods along with visual indicators for recently updated mods. It also supports other mod creators by allowing them to include a help file within their mods, which Mod Help will automatically load without dependency needs.

Mod Help was firstly conceptualized mainly as a mod for tracking updates of other mods, due to the somewhat "impossibility" of using Steam's API to access workshop and the usage of the help window UI, it has evolved into a "framework" that can not only provide this type of update information but also general mod information, giving mod creators the freedom to deliver it however they see fit within the constraints of the mod.

Mod Help is fully localized for EN, JP and CN. Mod Creators can also localize their help files.

For users
  • You can easily access mod help through the ESC context menu.
  • "Recently updated" mods will be displayed with a small little crystal next to their name. This indicator will persist until the mod page is accessed.
  • Mod Help will generate default pages for all mods that don't have a help file provided by their creators.

For Mod creators
If you are a mod creator and wishes to add your own help files please visit the Elin Modding Resources Wiki for the full guide:
[EN] Mod Help Usage Guide for Creators [elin-modding-resources.github.io]
[JP] Mod Help Usage Guide for Creators [elin-modding-resources.github.io]

And Pretty please, if you add help files to your mod, don't forget to include changelogs!

Hello, from your mod list, you are missing CustomWhateverLoader, which is a dependency for ModHelp

I'm seeing a bug where all readable books/notes (quest things, not spell books) open a blank window instead of displaying their text when you read them. I've narrowed it down to this mod causing the issue, as removing it fixes the problem, but the problem returns when I reinstall.

Here's a copy of my player.log file: https://pastebin.com/dgujYhYX
And a list of my currently installed mods: https://pastebin.com/Ve77sa78

i only had it installed because it was a requirement for the spice mod. After uninstalling mod helper my issue reolved itself. I can install it later to find out but more than likely it was a conflict with my many installed mods. Where would i find the logs to provide you?

@1dfr33 Can you provide some logs from a session where this happens? ModHelp is setup to not ever run its patches if its help window is not open, so i doubt your problem is coming from here. But do provide the logs i'll take a look, i'm not immune to royally screwing shit up
