DalamudPackager's default targets do not enable the HandleImages /
ImagesPath flags, so the images/ directory was silently excluded
from the build output even after the .csproj started copying
icon.png next to the DLL. The local Dalamud plugin loader then
fell back to the placeholder question-mark icon because there was
nothing to load at <plugindir>/images/icon.png.
Override the default by dropping a DalamudPackager.targets next to
the csproj — its presence disables the SDK's default target, which
is guarded on `!Exists($(PackagerTargetFile))`. The override
mirrors the SDK property list verbatim and adds HandleImages=true
plus ImagesPath=$(ProjectDir)images so the packager actually walks
the images directory and copies its contents into both the dev
plugin output and the release ZIP.
Verified: latest.zip now contains images/icon.png at the expected
path; both dev plugins and Custom-Repo installs will render the
Hellion logo locally without depending on the remote IconUrl.
Replace the inherited Chat 2 icon with the 1024×1024 Hellion logo
from the Hellion Online Media brand assets so the plugin shows
its real identity in Dalamud's plugin list. Bundle Exo 2 Variable
(SIL Open Font License 1.1) as an embedded resource together with
the OFL license text — keeps the license travelling with the font
inside the assembly as the OFL requires.
A new Configuration.UseHellionFont (default true) plus a checkbox
in the Privacy tab Appearance section route FontManager's regular
font handle through tk.AddFontFromMemory using the embedded TTF
bytes when the toggle is on; flipping it off falls back to the
existing AddFontWithFallback path so users who picked their own
system font under Settings → Fonts keep that choice.
Settings.cs now treats UseHellionFont as a font-changing setting
so toggling it triggers FontManager.BuildFonts on save without
needing a plugin reload.
Reset the version line out of the inherited Chat 2 1.35.x range
into a Hellion-specific track that starts at 0.1.0 to make the
bootstrap status visible to anyone reading the Dalamud plugin
list. The yaml changelog now lays out the full feature set added
on top of Chat 2 (privacy filter, retention, cleanup, export,
wizard, theme, localization) and explicitly calls out the upstream
1.35.3 base under EUPL-1.2.
Add HellionStrings.resx as the English source and HellionStrings.de.resx
for German, with a hand-maintained Designer.cs that mirrors the layout
of Language.Designer.cs. Resource files live next to the upstream
Language.resx but are kept entirely separate so upstream cherry-picks
never collide with our translations and any future Hellion-only
translation tooling (Crowdin, manual contribution) can target this
file without touching the Chat 2 dictionary.
Plugin.LanguageChanged now updates HellionStrings.Culture alongside
Language.Culture so every UI string flips to the active locale at the
same moment. The Privacy tab title, master switch, channel groups
(now resolved per frame so the language can change without restart),
preset buttons, failsafe toggle, retention section, cleanup section,
status messages and notification bodies all read from HellionStrings.
The migration toast also takes its title and body from there.
Translations follow the project's German style: Du-Form, full
diacritics (ä, ö, ü), no em-dashes inside flowing prose, "Whitelist"
and "Linkshell" kept as-is because they are the established terms.
Switch the assembly name to HellionChat so Dalamud uses
pluginConfigs/HellionChat for our config file and database
directory, instead of sharing those locations with the upstream
Chat 2 plugin. Code namespace stays ChatTwo.* so upstream
cherry-picks apply cleanly.
Rename the DalamudPackager manifest to HellionChat.yaml with
fork-specific name, author, repo URL, description, tags and
changelog. Plugin.PluginName becomes "Hellion Chat".
Add a one-shot migration in the plugin constructor that runs
before GetPluginConfig: if pluginConfigs/ChatTwo.json or the
ChatTwo/ directory exist and our equivalents don't, move them
into the HellionChat layout. Idempotent: only fires on the first
load where legacy paths are present and ours are not.
