Hi Scotty32
Yes it changes only the online/offline status on the left side. It's true that this can be done by editing the language files. There are three reasons why I've written this mod:
- It is our goal to simplify the update-process of the forum. To achieve this, we don't want to edit every file for every mod - that's the reason I've made our own mod-system.
- If you want to add some dynamic features I think it's better to add this in an extra file and not in the language-files.
- Maybe we want to add database-functionality to the language files (to support our own dictionary and multilanguage-support) and then it's not an option to add some special things to the dictionary (because we want the dictionary to be plain).
