Author Topic: Is there a way to generate a list of addons/bricks used in a save?  (Read 2070 times)

Is there a way to generate a list of bricks used in a save? There was this one save in the gallery with an automatically generated list of addons and bricks in the topic. Having every single addon/brick pack enabled at once isn't an option every time I load a save from the forums, or even some of my own builds.

RTB had one. Oops.

It would be easy to make a list of all the brick types, but finding the respective add-ons would be a bit more tricky.

There you go, this would be a nice feature, go post it in suggestions

Unlikely people would give a damn though, like all the other suggestions I made.

Probably need to explain more.

You have a chance if the server with the save loaded is still running.

the problem is that you don't have a list of all brick mods and the uinames associated with them

and even if you did, there will definitely be cases where multiple packs use the same uiname for one kind of brick. you wouldn't think this is an issue because it's the same brick in both packs, but then you have to consider which pack was actually active for the build

this is why RTB was able to provide the service, because they hosted a large amount of blockland's mods, and they could generate such a list

What if I had all the brickpacks from RTB installed, but not used? (I used the RTB megadump.)

Unless you used all the brickpacks, which there are some repeated, the OP's idea should only list the ones that are used. If you have poles downloaded but you dont need to use em, you wont see them listed.

you would still need to generate the list

I can probably try some things later, Ill report back.

I mean that if I had all the bricks installed but not used, would there no problems generating a list?
