Export rooms

[arj0n]

I guess not but I ask it just in case I overlooked it: is there a way to create/export a list of all rooms containing their description?

You just need a test-based list of the room descriptions, matched to their respective ID? There's not currently a built-in method, but it would take about 5-10 minutes to write up an editor plugin to add that function...seems somewhat limited and specialized in purpose, but feasible if you needed it.

Well, the descriptions are stored in the Game.agf file. If you open it in notepad or another plain text editor and search for <Rooms> you will find the complete list. If you're handy with XML you might even write something that can strip it out, it's not that much work I guess. Ik hoop dat je er wat aan hebt.

Right, I didn't think about that. For reference, the Rooms node and its children look like this:

Code: ags

    <Rooms>
      <UnloadedRoom>
        <Number>1</Number>
        <Description>Room 1</Description>
      </UnloadedRoom>
      <UnloadedRoom>
        <Number>999</Number>
        <Description IsNull="True" />
      </UnloadedRoom>
    </Rooms>

So a simple XML parser to strip the Rooms node out and then read the children wouldn't be too terribly difficult. But then again, the actual work-load of writing the code for the parser might be comparable to just writing a simple editor plugin. Either way.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for, just the room descriptions matched to their respective ID.

Ah, thanx Wyz. Ik denk dat ik hier voldoende aan heb. I can just copy the file and within that one remove the other info and there's the list I want, cool.
I could have know that there's a config file storing such info... stupid me

Thanx Monkey.
A simple editor plugin could be handy for some people but manually getting the info from the agf file will do too for me.
But since you're a pluginman, maybe add this one to your list  
(unless no one ever ask this before...)
