Clint Rewritten

Inspired by a Discord conversation about Clint and his dialogues and how to make him less… uncomfortable for players to encounter, Clint Rewritten sets out to modify Clint's dialogues to be less creepy and more accurate to how he is portrayed by most (non-creepy) dialogues – socially anxious and someone who hasn't made many (if any!) friends in the Valley before the farmer.

Specifically, this mod overhauls both the three and six heart events to be more about Clint's quest for friends (with some tongue-in-cheek references to Stardew's friendship system), as well as:

• Altering Clint's resort dialogue to be less weird and more focused on relaxing (and worried about his swimsuit being eye-catching for all the wrong reasons)
• Clint's rare phone dialogue will no longer talk about the farmer's voice being nice if a woman, and instead will have the same dialogue for both genders (which should work for gender-neutral dialogue as well).
• Clint's crush on Emily is almost entirely excised with this mod. (There are hints he may still feel something for her, for those of you who are using a Rival Hearts mod or a mod which makes Clint marriable, but most elements are gone.) He will no longer wonder about dancing with Emily during the Flower Dance, will not wonder if Emily helping him with his snowman “means something”, and will even be your ‘wingman' so to speak if you have started dating or have married Emily by Winter of Year 1 by sending you an amethyst to give to Emily to complete his usual quest (which is instead him trying to help you make Emily happy and making it clear that the amethyst should be from you instead).
• Some dialogue alterations are also made for particular events (which may be overwritten if another mod modifies the event!), notably Shane's 7 heart (Clint's no longer worried about Emily's face in his, but more about line timing) and Emily's 8 heart (where he's more worried about his confidence in clothes he's not used to – and then feeling awkward he walked in on the two of you).
• A few miscellanious changes to character dialogues which reference Clint's fixation on Emily.

There is a config option to null out particular keys referring to Clint's creepy dialogue in other mods, but at present it only removes a few Canon-Friendly Dialogues. More can be added if requested.

This mod should be mostly compatible with any mod with Clint. A few mods to note, however, are below:

• Dammit Clint Stop Hitting On My Wife: An older mod which attempted to do the same thing, but was a bit more narrowly focused and does not include 1.5 content. While I have not checked personally (as during development of a mod I generally do not want to risk plagarizing, so I have not downloaded any other Clint mod), it is likely that both mods can be used together, but due to folder titling Dammit Clint will override this mod's changes.
• Improved Clint: Another Clint mod which will mostly override this mod's changes. However, this mod should be compatible with it nonetheless – changes such as changing Clint's rare phone dialogue or Movie Theater dialogue will still occur, and should not have anything super incompatible. If there is, please let me know and I will do my best to fix it.
• Platonic Partners and Friendships: Due to some key changes, Emily's 8 heart event and Clint's 6 heart are both overridden by PPAF – specifically, this mod's event changes will be disabled in favor of PPAF's changes (I'm not about to override events and have people have non-platonic events with their platonic friends!). PPAF's Emily's 8 heart is vague enough that it should be compatible with this mod out of the box, but Clint's desire to date Emily returns in the PPAF 6 heart – I can work on finding a way to remove that or checking with the mod author about compatibility if it's desired, but as I'm attempting to avoid overriding other mods, for now PPAF's changes will supersede this mod's.

This mod is fully translatable with i18n keys and can be translated. Please ask before making a translation mod, but otherwise translations can be made for this if desired.
