One of the issues with making a whole array was the compiling issue. Compiling the true item database was a bit much… so some ideas batted around that seemed very feasible is a plugin. Only downside is noobs who don't know about moving plugins won't be able to use this feature.
I stumbled across reading .txt files, and spent all morning learning how to do it. If you want to test it, go update your reflection to the newest version, and you'll find a script in /Reflection/Development/Object_List/
Run it (its standalone, doesn't need SRL/SMART/Reflection to work!), and see how it outputs stuff.
Or you can try this (same code):
If this is a feasible idea, we can replace items.simba with the same idea (since Method got us a bigger items database, and objects.txt as well… thank you very much to him for this work). Next step if you guys like this idea is to make it go from name to integer, or integer to name for objects, and items. If we could get an NPC database we're set.
Advantages
Heres a quick example:
1) Grab all object names with the fragment 'bank booth'
2) With the TIA, search on screen for any valid bank booth object [interactable]
3) Open it
Not bad huh? UNIVERSAL BANKING! :stirthepot:
EDIT: If you want to put it to the test you can always search a blank string, it will harvest every item :)
EDIT2: If further developed, would have to customize pathname obviously to account for people who don't name their folder "Reflection"
