So... is this still working?

I don't know what happened, but adding this mod to my modlist completely nuked my modlist and borked mod manager.

Made an update of this:

Hope it helps anyone!

Got rickrolled by a shelf. Noice.

Would still like to see this updated, I'm aware it's still functional but I don't want to include it in a beginner modpack I'm assembling as I don't want to scare off any newbies.

@Teelox the mod is loadable on 1.1 from the mod menu, but the game STRONGLY suggests not using mods not designed for 1.1 and cordones them off into their own section, so I still recommend updating because people will easily be scared away from your mod otherwise.

@Kittenpox: Oh gosh, I definitely need to update the metainfo.

I haven't had a chance to fire up v1.1 yet. Does the game yet you load the mod despite the version warning?

This has been a wonderfully helpful mod; though in v1.1 it displays as being a mod designed for version: "none". Would it be possible to flag (and, if needed, update) this for version 1.1 of Rimworld? :-)

I wish we had a colonist renamer

You're welcome! :)

I'm also responsible for this [www.newshub.co.nz] as a public service. :)

You bastard.

You know what you did.

...renaming a shelf like that and then taking a screenshot...you monster...

weapon renamer?

@ammo: Having shelves be zones would be wonderful, but unfortunately it's not an easy change.

If I were to implement something like this, it would be to allow zones to be placed over shelves, and then for the shelves to inherit the settings from said zones. That would not only allow them to appear as options in crafting bills, but would make the management of shelved stockpiles much more straightforward.

Alas I'm a little short on time at the moment, but it's very much something I would like to see.

Would it be possible to make the renamed shelves appear as zones so that they show up as an option for drop off in crafting bills?

I just found out I needed you. And you were here waiting for me.

Updated for v1.0!

Previous versions can be found at: https://github.com/pjf/ShelfRenamer/releases

@Mirith: New version is up, with fixes to ensure we don't hit problems when storage buildings are created before WorldGen, along with a few other guards just-in-case.

Thank you so much for the report! You've got a credit in the release notes. :)

Great, thanks! :)

@Mirith: D'oh, it's another instance of using-storage-during-WorldGen-but-you-don't-have-storage-yet!

Comprehensive patch incoming.

Hey,
for some reason this mod causes Prepare Carefully to fail to initialize.
{LINK REMOVED} (Here's the log). When disabled, even with all that other mods mess, everything works flawless.

No probs!

@XeoNovaDan: ShelfRenamer was trying to use its storage during WorldGen, but its storage isn't actually created until *after* WorldGen completes. A fix has now been applied and tested.

Thank you *so much* for the bug report! You've got a credit in the new release notes.

@XeoNovaDan: Eeeep! Thank you for the bug report! Investigating now!

Found a bit of a gamebreaking bug: when generating a new map in something like a new game, stuff like foliage and pregenerated structures won't actually generate, and colonist pods end up landing in a rather messed-up fashion. In the case of modded biomes (TerraCore, where I initially discovered this), they actually won't generate at all and will return to the main menu with a generic map gen error.

Output log (compressed since it's ~10 MB when not compressed): https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3r8hygcmlrl0np/output_log.zip?dl=0

Just for convenience's sake to confirm that it isn't a conflict, this was with the mods MOD-E, Core, HugsLib, ModSwitch, ModSync, Shelf Renamer and 4M Mehni's Miscellaneous Modifications, the latter of which is just to remove the output log entry limit.

Thank you! I found that I kept feeling that the game pushes you towards using shelves, but then gives them second-class features compared to stockpiles.

I really want to give rename a hotkey, but the hotkey to rename stockpiles is 'B', and for buildings that's bound to 'reinstall', so I need to give it some thought as how to present a consistent interface there.

You're the best!

Very good Idea! (with Industrial Rollers)

Update

Shelf Renamer v1.0.0

- Fixed bug where pressing enter in the rename dialog wouldn't save.
- Previous name now starts selected in rename dialog for easier replacement.
