Getting a print name from ID? [Solved]

[Chrono]

How do I get:
Letters/A
from:
49

?


Solution:
Easier than I imagined.

Code: [Select]

function getPrintName(%id)
{
%texture = getPrintTexture(%id);
%package = getField(strreplace(%texture,"/","\t"),1);
%category = getField(strReplace(%package,"_","\t"),1);
%name = fileBase(%texture);
%return = %category @ "/" @ %name;
return %return;
}

Check the tutorial code, can't remember if it's dso'd or not.

Otherwise export all the $ variables to a file and have a look - it's a string table in there I think.

%object.getPrintID() $= $printNameTable["Letters/-minus"]It does this, which the name is already known and compares it to the ID.

All I get is a table for getting IDs from names. I need to get a name from an ID.

I need to get a name from an ID.

I'd say your best chance is a big ass switch. As far as I know there's no reverse way to get name from ID.

How come the default game can do it then through saving?

[Slicksilver]

Alright, I found a way. A stuffty way, but a way nonetheless.


getPrintTexture(%id)


You can parse the file name into a variable name however you like, but I'm not sure how well it'll support custom add-ons.

[Chrono]

Yeah I seen that function, tested it. It gives the full filepath.

But now looking back at the $PrintNameTable, it includes two parts of the filepath.
Letters/-space
Add-ons/Print_Letters_Default/prints/-space.png
1x2f/keyboard
Add-ons/Print_1x2f_Default/prints/keyboard.png

I could just snag those 2 parts and get it from there.

function getPrintName(%id)
{
%texture = getPrintTexture(%id);
%package = getField(strreplace(%texture,"/","\t"),1);
%category = getField(strReplace(%package,"_","\t"),1);
%name = fileBase(%texture);
%return = %category @ "/" @ %name;
return %return;
}
