Therefore, the ID’s referenced in the original objects are not necessarily the ones displayed in the game: there can be jumps of 200, 10,000 or 30,000 in ID. Let me know, if you notice any mistakes. |

| What is a string ID? A string ID is a number that refers to a string of text. String IDs are used in .ai files for nameID, helpID and UsedThought. String IDs can be found in the .dll files |

| In this post, I added some more explanation and some modifications to bigcatkeepers post. I also summarized the discussion from posts that have been deleted to keep this thread as short and reader-friendly as possible. In the past, the strings used for cNameID, cHelpID, and cGuestThought have been picked very close together. Bigcatkeeper and myself have identified some of the programming in ZT regarding the use of strings, that suggest the old method does not make use of all the features of the ZT programming and is a rather inefficient use of string IDs. Thanks to Bigcatkeeper for writing the following text for the members with limited programming experience. ZT contains several automatic jumps that we should exploit, we have not done so yet. If everyone did this for user created buildings from now on we shall be saving a lot of strings, this may sound complicated but please follow! From now on, please use the strings and programming as follows (8000 is an example you would replace it with your string): cNameID=8000 (In your dll file create the string 8000 as your buildings name) cHelpID=8000 (In your dll file create the string 38000 as your buildings tooltip/help ID, what you must do to work out the string is add 30000 to what ever string ID you have, as long as it is not out of range. So 8000 + 30000 = 38000) 63,000 insert the text "the xxxx" in this string Jay suggested that the string 63,000 is used by the zookeeper for his recommendations "animal x does not like the xxxxx" I tested it and have to report that Jay correctly made this suggestion This string ID is not programmed in the .ai file, but automatically assigned by ZT. cGuestThought= In ZT, guest thoughts are defined in a rather small range. We can work around the automatic jumps in ZT by 'blocking' the guest thoughts. In this example, we could define the guest thought in string 8001. This would also allow for guest thoughts in strings 38001 and 63,001 that can be used for other buildings. We still need to test this, but I think that this should work since no physical object or animal is defined in these strings. THE NEXT PART IS FOR THE ITEMS NAME AND CONSUMED THOUGHTS For any items name you will need a new string ID so lets use 8001 as an example! In your (itemsname).cfg file do as followed: nameID=8002 (In your dll file create the string 8001 as your items name) 38002 Place the tooltip text here consumedThoughtID=63002 (In your dll file create the string 63001, to work out your string ID add 55000 to your string ID as long as it is not out of range. So 8002 + 55000 = 63002). This was used for the "the buildingname" string, There may be more efficient ways to use strings for items, but we need to experiment with them to make sure that they are indeed working. |

| String IDs between 19000 and 21999 cannot be used for user-created downloads, because these have been reserved by MS/BF for use by APE created objects and animals. All objects and animals created in APE will have the line cNameID=19000. According to MS/BF, ZT is programmed to take all these objects and animals and then assign the values 19001, 19002, 29003, etc, up to 21999, as it loads them. This approach works well for animals and objects, in general. It does not work for buildings and rides, that have some very specific requirements to interact with the guests. Within this range, you can load 3000 downloads with a unique APE number at the same time. As far as, I know, there are not 3000 unique downloads yet. These 3000 downloads do not include buildings and other downloads that use ID values outside this range (Downloads that do not have cNameID=19000). |

| I was looking at lang009.dll and noticed that the tooltip was on the 63000 string and the "the xxxx" is in the 30000 string. Does it work either way? BTW, I'm gonna use 15614 for RSN's Future Forms UXP Menu hack. If it's in use, let me know. |

| You must have saved an edited version of the lang009.dll. I do not have that version: magnet uses 5340, 35340, and 60340. With "the Magnet" in 60340. |

| So if i am making a building, I need a string id(s)? How do i know which one(s) to get? Is there any left? |

| There are still quite a few left. Not many people can make dll files. In that case, you can ask for a dll file, and get string IDs assigned. A building requires three IDs for itself. You can also use one ID for a guestthought, and two IDs for every item that is for sale. If you can make a dll file, you can choose from the available numbers. If you do, please list the numbers in this thread, and in similar threads at other sites such as Zoo Keepers Lounge. You want to make sure that people do not use your ID again, and cause problems for your download. |
