Text Variables

These variables are replaced from various places where localized text is supported. Can be used directly or in the localization files too.

Variables

{LOC:*} - where * is a localization key; replaced with the localized text with support for campaigns too.
{LOCG:*} - same as LOC but only generic, no campaign support.
{LOCC:*} - same as LOC but only campaign support.
{CONTROL:*} - where * is a control ID (see SpaceEngineers.cfg for a list); results in printing the binds for that control depending on current input type (gamepad vs kb/m).
{GAME_CONTROL:*} - same as CONTROL but always shows kb/m binds.
{GAMEPAD_CONTROL:*} - same as CONTROL but always shows gamepad binds.
{GAMEPAD:*} - where * is a gamepad button/axis.

Everywhere a localization key is expected, including ModAPI's MyTexts.GetString().

However certain things require key words to use localization:

Some other places that don't have localized text but do use these variable replacements specifically:
