[REL] menu_1024_768.ini Renumbering Tool

[h.sie]

GUI-modders and other people who manually edit the menu_1024_768.ini surely hate the time-consuming renumbering process of the menu groups and items. My little tool does that renumbering process automatically.

When you add a new item, be sure that the header (e.g. [G3F Ixxx] ) of the new item has the correct Group Id. The Item Id (Ixxx) does not matter.
After running the tool, the new Item (and all following Items) automatically get assigned the correct Item Id.

Usage is simple:

1. Select the menu_1024_768.ini file which you want to renumber.
2. Input the Group Id of the Group which has to be renumbered.
3. Input the Item Id at which the renumber process has to start.
4. Press the Renumber-Button.
(The renumbered file is always written to C:\ , so that the original file will not be overwritten.)
5. Make a backup copy of the original file.
6. Move the renumbered file to the desired directory.

I would be happy, if my tool is useful - especially for OLC, who helped me a lot with good ideas and more.

[onelifecrisis]

I did? Heh, cool. :cool: I think my GUI modding days are done but if I ever do decide to make more tweaks then this tool will be a huge timesaver. :yep:

I uploaded a new version of my world-famous, award-winning Menu_Ini_Renumber Tool, written in Java.

What's new? It now works on 32 and 64 Bit Windows and no more has this ugly Splash-Screen "Was compiled with a demo version....".

There are 2 versions available:

1) SH3MenuIniRenumberV0.6.jar (size 18 kByte) for those who have Java Runtime installed on their PC. Just doubleclick the jar in order to run the program.

2) SH3MenuIniRenumberV0.6.7z (size: 13 MB) for those who have not Java Runtime installed on their PC. It's an executable that has it's own Java Runtime-Environment linked, so that there is no need for you to install Java on your PC.

The tool is not working for me. After program execution the new ini-file in c:\ is the same. Nothing has changed.

[Fahnenbohn]

Splendid ! This little program saved me the time to renumber 77 entries in the menu_1024_768.ini file !! Thank you H.Sie ! :yeah:

[Darojax]

Thanks for this program!

Ever tried highlighting the whole menu_1024_768.ini file content and copying it to the first cell in Excel. Try it, you'll be amazed how it organises it. I've used that a lot in the past to edit it. It allows many feature's to highlight, reorganise and color anything to stand out in it, is just a few options of many. It makes understanding where all the jumble up text is and how it all works together a lot easier. When working on a section of it, I copy the segments to another page of excel and arrange them as a spreadsheet, this shows how each section flows from one command to the next and a picture of the layout of how it works together. I first used it to fully understand how OLC's gui worked, piece of cake using this method.
