README

This mod puts english descriptions of weapon/grenade special effects right on the item card, in parentheses, after the red text. It's a BL3 version of the Ezeith's BL2 mod. Shields, Artifacts, and COMs are omitted here because by large, BL3 already includes descriptions on the card for those (though there may be some exceptions; I should check).

In cases where there's already an on-card explanation, I've tried to include "all effects on card" instead of a custom description, but there are a few cases where that could still be tweaked, so you'll have a double-description.

This mod should be current up through Vault Card 3.

Translation Information: The code which generates this mod now supports translations pretty easily. If you want to contribute a translation to this mod, grab a copy of the master translation template, fill in translations on the msgstr lines in there, and send it my way. Be sure to put in your name/username/handle as a translated string in there. (You are also, of course, welcome to just upload your own translated version of this mod, if you don't want to bother with all that.) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about that!

Description (from inside mod)

Inspired by Ezeith's BL2 Red Text Explainer

Adds explanations in the red text for all legendary/unique weapons and
grenade mods.  Shields, COMs, and Artifacts have been omitted since they
already detail their special functions on the card text.
