/*
* Perform some changes to groups of blocks custom name based on the group name

* $RENAME <newName> changes each blocks name to match newName
* $RENAME# <newName> As Above but numbered sequentially in ascending order

* $ADDTAG <tag> Adds <tag> to the end of each blocks name (if it isn't already in the name. this may cause problems if you want to add 'Bat' to an item with the name Battery)
* No numerical tagging feature for this one. Sorry.

* $ADDPREFIX <tag> Adds <tag> to the start of each block name (if it doesn't already)
* $ADDPREFIX# <tag> As Above but numbered sequentially in ascending order

* $CLEAR Reset to default name (un-Numbered)
* $CLEAR# Reset to default name (Numbered in ascending order)
*/

There is now a global variable called "GI_LoN". Setting this to a value greater than 0 will set the default minimum length for numbers in a sequencial numbering case.
Numbers less than the required length will be padded with '0' so that if GI_LoN==3 then 1 becomes 001 and 10 becomes 010, but anything beyond this length such as 100 or greater remains unchanged.
Leaving GI_LoN at 0 will cause the script to find the minimum length on it's own, so lon becomes 2 if 99 or fewer blocks are in the target group, 3 if 999 or less, 4 if 9999 or less, ect.
lon minimum value remains 2.

For some reason, whenever I use adaptive LoN (Gl_LoN=0), the script likes to add way to many zeros for numbers past 20. (Gives 3+ for 30).

I tweaked a fix by the following code.
[code]
public int getLoN( int cnt ) {
int lon = 0;
if( GI_LoN <= 0 ) { lon = cnt.ToString().Length;
//lon = 2;
//while( cnt / (1f+(10f*lon)) >= 1 ) {
// lon++;
//}
} else {
lon = GI_LoN;
}
return lon;
} [/code]

Once you get the script set up in a programable block, create a group from the control panel of all the things you want the name modifed. So for example, if you got 100 O2 generators, and want to rename them and number them, you'd select them all, then name the group "$RENAME# My Oxygen Generators (Or what ever you want them to be called)" then save the group, then go to the programable block and hit "Run"

Should be close to that anyway, it's been awhile since I've played, but in short, it's all in how you name the group.

I'm a noob to these scripts and how to use them fully, i do know you add them to programable blocks and how to load them. have gotten a couple scripts running fine but how do you use this script. do you add the $ADDPREFIX <ShipName> to the argument line and then click run or is there another way your supossed to do this? thanks for any help :)

Sorry to double post. Just thought I'd let everyone know. I've been playing this again a bit today and this still works.

I haven't played in a couple of months, but the last time I played, it still worked fine.

I could do. Though right now it is 3am so... later... because it can't get too much earlier than 3am X.x

Loues, did you integrate the REMOVETAG and REPLACETAG functions into your script?
