Advanced Renaming

This Extension allows more Flexibility in Object Names. Especially you can define a Name Template and all Objects will be named according to this Template and it adds Colored Object Names. Its simple to use since you just rename your Properties as usual, but you can simply include expressions which will be replaced by what you really want to write there. Also the Names can be edited easily since the Expression will be displayed in the Rename Menu, not the resulting Name ;)

To color Object Names just put these Expressions before the part intended to be colored:
/blk for black
/gr1 for gray 1
/blu for blue
/cya for cyan
/grn for green
/mag for magenta
/red for red
/lbl for light blue
/whi for white
/nor for regular Text Color
/yel for yellow
/gr2 for gray 2
/hex for Hexadecimal (RRGGBB) Color in the format /hexBADA55#

these pre-definied Expressions exist:
###> First the ones which dont change for a specific update (or wont cause an update if they should change) - generally perfixed with /
/type = > Typename of the Object Macro (for example Scaldis)
/class = > Object Class (currently XL, L, M, S, XS and ST - please notify me if more pop up)
/purpose = > InGame-Purpose of the Obejct (Trade, Fight, Build, Mine, Scan or Hack)
/freightclass => Compatible Freight Classes ( BCEL ), if its universal its U and if its all Types in seperate bays its M (Scaldis)
/zone \
/sector = > Name of the Zone/Sector/Cluster the Object is currently in (Intended for Stations, No Auto Update)
/cluster /
/sup.zone \
/sup.sec = > Similiar to the 3 before, but refering to the Superior, not the Object itself
/sup.clu /

###> Next the Expressions which will cuase an Update if their Value changes (prefixed with $)
$stageA# => building progess of a Stations build sequence (A for example; works up to I) - will result in nothing if the Station doesnt have the related sequence in its full plan.
$sup.name => Inserting the Name of the Superior ($-Expressions are cut away for this)
$money => current amount of Cash the Pilot/Manager has
=> Skills: Skill Values of certain Control Entities can be inserted with a 3-letter-combo:
$SAB
where the $S is always the same (S for Skill Wink )
A stands for the following options:
B => Boarding NPC
C => Pilot,Captain (both are technically equal)
D => Defense Officer
E => Engineer
M => Manager
and B defines the Skill to be inserted:
A => All(Combined; goes from 0 to 100 instead of the others 0 to 5)
B => Boarding
C => Combat
E => Engineering
L => Leadership
M => Managment
N => Navigation
O => Morale
S => Science

###> And last Mass Renaming Expressions - these are only useable via Mass Renaming (prefixed with %):
%sub.id => Serial Number of Subordinate Ship
%sub.total => Total Number of Subordinate Ships


There is a seperate Extension available here[www.dropbox.com] - it is seperate from the Steam Workshop to not mess up custom expressions.
i have left a short explaination how to use it there. Also all previously explained Expressions (with 2 exceptions) can be used inside there without restrictions ;) here a short example which was used to create the Workshop preview:


can also be found on the EGO forums.[forum.egosoft.com]
(also updates are more frequent there since its simpler for me)
