This is a personal mod that updates the English translation for the "Skadi the Corrupting Heart" mod. Fed the Chinese strings to ChatGPT 3.5 alongside some manual corrections.

Skadi the Corrupting Heart


Summary of what I did:

1. Explaining what her trait does.
2. Clarify you need to activate her first skill only once for the entire lifetime of Skadi in order to gain access to the rest of the skills. You do not need to bring it along anymore after that.
3. Standardized her party-wide buff to "Inspire".
4. Clarify that her Seaborn summoning skill requires an open slot on the enemy side or a corpse to consume.
5. Her single-target "Bloodline Connection" skill, which applies the "Pelagic Consanguinity" disease that buffs or debuffs the targeted hero based on a random(?) chance. This also indirectly fixes the blue string text for this.
6. I believe the original English translation did not include Glossary terms so I added it.
7. No more "Sikadi" or "Scati", just "Skadi".

There were some things that I did not do/modify after ChatGPT translated it:

1. Skill names
2. Name of her buff/debuff disease
3. Empty barks
4. Her nonsensical barks while afflicted. The Chinese strings seems to imply she is speaking gibberish / losing her mind so that is why the English strings looks broken. I dunno what to change them to so I left them be. For example, if she got pushed back while afflicted with Fearful, she says "b膽儑>气R搳賺@叐J ? Q珉r?? 鹯躴亪w g".
5. Could not add details of what the "Bloodline Connection" skill does in its tooltip due to… character limits?
6. Pretty sure the actual in-game effect of the "Pelagic Consanguinity" disease is incorrect?
7. I did not check all strings.


Dev Notes

First time modding Darkest Dungeon.

Why is CDATA strings so weird? Seems to have character limits, specific syntax for percentages, sometimes cuts text off, etc. Was a serious pain in the butt trying to figure out what is happening and I still do not know very clearly what happened =_=
