Rename Ships with Expressions (RSwE)
Based on Klyith work for X3R
Concept
This script has been developed to allow quick and powerful renaming functions
to use with your ships and stations. The method of entry means that you can give
names unique to each ship in large batches. Whether you are renaming a small
group or all of your ships in the universe is up to you.
Central to the idea of RSwE are the Expressions. These are like "text short cuts"
which are interpreted by the script to produce context-defined results. When
combined with standard text this allows you to specify names that are both
unique to your ships and customized to your preference. Thus, if you have a group
of three Buster Raiders to rename, entering *CL-*TA Orion *NN will rename them
to M4-BR Orion 1, 2, and 3.
Menu commands
There are 7 RSwE commands available in Rename Ships menu:
One note is that while the universe option will rename regardless of state, the
sector option will not rename docked ships. This can be useful as a way to
exclude ships that you don't want to rename.
List of RSwE Expressions
Colors:
Currently, due to some hard coded behavior in X3TC, colors are working
differently between incoming messages/log book, and the rest of X3TC UI. You can
still use the color tags provided, but messages will be empty.
Customizing the internal default values:
Default name values for ships:
Those values are set as t id in the text id file 7955, as follow:
1080: Freighters
1081: Carriers
1082: Destroyers
1083: Bombers
1084: Fregates
1085: Corvettes
1086: All fighters
1087: Satellites
1088: Factories
You can change those default settings as you wish, in order to have
a proper list of name, in case something went wrong during your tests.
Note on dynamic renaming:
The dynamic renaming can be activated and deactivated using the AL menu (in Gameplay
menu, last option). This function is provided to help you with some expressions that can
change during your play time, like sector names, skill levels...
Also note that dynamic names are preponderant on any name you can enter manually.
Dynamic names must be cleared if you want to enter another static name, using *DN as name.
