Rename Blocks to Default

Description
This script renames all or a selection of blocks to its default name, when the block was created.
This should also work for other languages than english, which means that the block name will be translated by the Space Engineers client to the current specified language.

You can put the following commands into the "Argument" text field of the "Programmable block":


help - Displays the help text.
all - Renames all blocks of any grid to default.
blocks <groupName> - Renames all blocks of the group '<groupName>' to default.
grids <groupName> - Renames all blocks with the same grids as the blocks of the group '<groupName>' to default.

But if you have let's say just the "Medical Room 2" and you restart the map or the dedicated server, then the blocks will be re-counted and therefore running this script again will rename the "Medical Room 2" to "Medical Room".

@Octavia: I am not sure what you really mean, but if it's what I think, then it's what is expected.
For example:
If you build a medical room the first block will just have the name without the number.
If you then either first remove the medical room and build a new medical room, or first build a new medical room and remove the first medical room afterwards, then the second medical room will have the number 2 behind its name.
Even though if you would rename the second medical room by removing the number, a new medical room would be named "Medical Room 3" and not "Medical Room 2".
With this script I just restore the name as the game would name it, when you place the block. So renaming the second medical room to "Medical Room 2" by the script is expected, even if it's the only medical room on the ship/station.

This is a ueful mod, but it doesn't seem to work for all blocks. Medical Rooms and Oxygen Tanks don't rerun their numbers (after the block name).

I've been hunting for a script like this all day! Just tried it out on a Spanish(?)-made Impstar, worked like a charm. Didn't reset some text panels, oddly enough, but hey, "Panel del texto" isn't too hard to translate.

Great work, Albmar.

nice script thx xD

I fixed that. I also added some new features. So you can "select" the block you want to rename by using block groups. It came to my mind that it would be useful to be able to choose all blocks except a group or something like this, but I am too lazy now. Maybe later ;)
I have to note that I didn't test the code with several different settings where the blocks of the group have other owners or rights to use it. If there are some troubles, please let me know.
