*** UTILITY *** IDS_NAME Matcher
I went ahead and uploaded the utility I used to get the list of ids_names matched to their common name. See thread here.
Download Utility here:
Freelancer IDS_Name Matcher
Readme:
This zip contains the resources string tables from the following files and ID Parser v 1.0:
Per Freelancer.ini:
DLL = NameResources.dll ; Contains names of things, primarily.
DLL = EquipResources.dll ;Contains names of equipment (in string table) and infocards for equipment (in HTML resources)
DLL = OfferBribeResources.dll ; Contains random mission offers and bribes
To use the ID Parser you must also download the FLINIParser HTTP://www.thenetsedge.com/freelancer/fliniparser.zip
1) Using uncompressed Freelancer INI Files start up FLINIParser.
2) Open the selected INI file and search for IDS_NAME to get a list of IDS.
3) Save the list to a text file (copy it to clipboard, open notepad, paste, save).
4) Start ID Parser
5) The Select ids_name list file button should be used to open the IDS_NAME file you saved in step 3.
6) Click the Select Resource String File button and open up one of the following files:
equipresources-stringtable.txt
nameresources-stringtable.txt
offerbribepresources-stringtable.txt
The one you choose is typically based on the type of IDS_NAMEs you are attempting to match up. NameResources has lots of things, including ships. Most equipment, engines, etc,. however are in equipresources. Some are even in offerbriberesources.
7) Click GO
The ID Parser will attempt to match up the ids_names to the proper more well known name.
9) If you get ##### = No Match, then try running the same list against a different stringtable.
Note: Like all my utilities this requires the .Net Framework to be installed. There isn't any error handling really built into this utility. It's not meant to be full featured.
Want to Do:
Automatically go through ini files and compose a master list of:
IDS_NAME NICKNAMES REALNAME LOCATION (what .ini file)
Oh, and MANY thanks to StrangeDuck for his post on how to match up the IDS_NAME to a string table in a resource file.
Thanks,
