v1.5.2 — the texts survive mod managers

v1.5.1 was meant to bring the mod's texts back, and for players who install through a mod manager it did not. This release does.

What was happening​

The mod's texts live in two folders, Translations/English and Translations/Italian. r2modman, the Thunderstore Mod Manager and Gale only keep the folder structure of what a package puts in their own plugins folder; any other folder they take apart. So on install every text file ended up loose next to the mod, the Italian copy of each file overwrote the English one because they share a name, and the game, which looks for the files inside those folders, found none. Every name, message and menu showed its key: [rov_menu_choose_race].

The zip fix in v1.5.1 was real, but it was not this. It took a clean profile in r2modman to see where the files actually went.

The fix​

The package now keeps the mod inside the folder mod managers preserve, and the two language folders arrive intact. Update through your mod manager and the texts are back; nothing else needs deleting. Manual installs were never affected.

Thanks to the players who kept reporting it, and tried clean installs, cleared caches and new characters along the way.
