📋 About This Mod

Add item script like VADDI that\'s easily expandable and provides an input window for error-free entry of search phrases.

UPDATE Version 1. 4b allows you to use apostrophes & dashes in the text field.


VADDI is one of the greatest mods for DA2, along with it\'s update, but it does have two drawbacks: 1) It can\'t be easily expanded to include new user-created items without causing conflicts. 2) Like all console commands, you can\'t see what you\'re typing. So I created W(indowed)ADDI, which calls up an input window so you can see what you\'re typing to search for. It\'s also easily expanded via standard 2DA methods. Instructions 1. Unzip into your /override folder. 2. To use, type \'runscript waddi\' into the console. 3. A window will pop up with the message \"Sort by Name\", an input field, and \"YES\" and \"NO\" buttons.
  • [] Pressing the \"NO\" button with an empty input field will exit the script with no search performed. [] Typing into the field and pressing the \"YES\" button or the enter key will cause a NAME SEARCH of items. Just like VADDI, this is processing intensive and will cause a slowdown. [] Typing into the field and pressing the \"NO\" button will cause a RESOURCE SEARCH of items.
4. Just like VADDI, a container will open up with your items, indicating how many items were found and what your search phrase was. 5. You may also type \'runscript waddi install\' into the console to install a quick-access button. It will add a button to the right-most open quickbar slot. It can also be accessed from the Abilities screen at the lower right, where you find the Summon Mabari skill. Expanding the Item List WADDI utilizes standard 2DA methods of adding to the item list. Adding new items requires two GDA files. 1) Create a GDA file with the prefix \'waddi_\' (for ex. waddi_mymod.gda). Two columns are needed: Filename: waddi_mymod.gda ID______|List____ int_____|string__ 121212__|wmymodlist 2) As will all 2DAs, use a sufficiently unique ID number. 3) The \'List\' field is the name of the GDA file that will include the item list. The list file has no naming requirements and can be named anything you wish, as long as it does not conflict with existing 2DA files & prefixes. So using \'waddimylist\' is invalid, but \'mylistwaddi\' is fine. 4) Create your list file mentioned in #3 above with two columns: Filename: mylistwaddi.gda ID______|Resource int_____|resource 0_______|my_super_item.uti 5) The list file is not merged with any other 2DAs, and entries from different list file can have the same IDs without conflicting. However, this file MUST HAVE SEQUENTIAL IDs. 6) As an example/template, unpack the erf and see \'waddi_base.gda\' and \'wbaselist.gda\'. Included Item List* I have includ
