Really like this as an EFM enjoyer! Just wish I could hold the manual open while holding the bomb, for example so I can solve The Button when I need to hold and release.

Love the mod! super helpful when I don't know the module I'm looking at. I just wish there was a way to implement rule seeds as well

sorry about that, I'm not really sure how that happened - thanks for letting me know, I've just pushed a fix!

The links to other manuals in a manual (seen with Colored Squares manual, not tested others yet) have their positions upside-down

I was able to also implement the links feature in the time it took to sync all 6,835 current manuals (including alternate manuals).
Version 2.2 should now be fully functional, as well as faster and more robust. Of course, I may have missed something; continue to report any issues you run into! Thanks.

The current backend solution (as of v2.1.1) is likely not going to work out. I'm developing a new system which shouldn't take long and will be more sustainable and also faster on the game end. This will be available soon in v2.1.2.

Ah, I didn't know that myself to be fair. At least the mods were able to help out, which is good since debugging an important mod like this is, well, important to say the least.

I appreciate the responses though so we are able to figure out what's going on. If I find another bug in the future, I'll just let you know.

Huh, so it wasn't ASCII-related after all...

Anyhow, it rarely is a big deal: I usually disable those translations. Bomb It! (PL) caught me off guard, because it was snuck in while I was gone.

I know what ASCII is. This is quite unrelated.
I asked if the mods they were having trouble with were in the same category as The Button Translated -- mods that are hidden on the repo but linked to an existing module -- and they were.
This is an issue because those mods do not have a Sheets property in their repo data. Therefore, the module throws an exception when attempting to parse the Sheets property in order to list alternate manuals.
This will be fixed in the next update.

Regarding what CSY is saying here, I believe this has to do with non-ASCII characters .

Basically certain symbols like punctuation, numbers, and specific letters appear are ASCII characters.
Anything that's non-ASCII would be the special Japanese letters, acrylic letters (Russian or Ukrainian letters), Korean letters, and other symbols that a computer needs something else to render them in.

I'll take a look at what might be causing this issue, thanks

Anyhow; for the record, I isolated these from the rest of my installed mods:
- Adjacent Letters (RU)
- Bomb It! (JA)
- Bomb It! (PL)
- Word Search (PL)

(Bomb It! snuck in a second translation while I was gone.)

Never heard of that. I just noticed it was breaking *only* on translated variations of specific modules. (One of which was sneaky.)

Is there a KTaNE server I could try hitting up, or...?

Are you referring to mods like The Button Translated? If not, please reach out on Discord @unrulyjuli3 for more assistance

Also returned after an extended break. Earlier in the week, it was stuck and wouldn't load a manual. Now, the manual breaks entirely whenever a foreign language module is present on the bomb.

Thanks for the concerns; I spent essentially all of today fixing the mod and finishing the half-completed features - everything should (hopefully) be functional in the latest release (v2.1).

I guess at this point, that makes 3 of us reporting this problem. I returned to the game after a while of being away, and I've noticed the same problem.

What I'm thinking is that there could a a host-client situation where something can't load up the manual repository for some reason.
Another possible reason could be based on how this searches for manuals in the first place, maybe that has to be updated too.

it gets stuck loading

it appears but when i open it it loads forever

how do I get this desk manual to work

Which rooms does it not work in?

This has to probably be one of the most helpful mods I've ever seen.

I've managed to see how it works in the Factory game room with a finite amount of bombs (3 in my case) and it took the manuals for not only the one I was working on, but all of the upcoming modules as well!

Absolutely genius.

Doesn't work in some rooms
