Help - Resources
Resource Inventory
The view named "Inventory" presents resources that are stored in personal inventories.
Remember: Many items at this panel, and the panel itself, can be clicked with the right mouse button to provide further options.
The main view presents the list of resources in stock, for the currently selected galaxy, or for character currently filtered on (TODO). The two columns "Amount" and "Notes" can be edited directly at the table, other options must be edited through the editing dialog box.
Right-Click Mouse Popup Options:
Create entry/Edit Entry Dialog: The dialog is common for both actions create and edit an entry. Enter a name or the first few letters of a name, and click Lookup to find it at SWGCraft. If it is found all stats are automatically filled in, otherwise you must do it manually. If many resources were found, select one at the "name" drop down list.
Fill in the amount, the number of units you have of that resource. Select a character name at the drop down list. The "notes" field can be used for whatever purpose.
Export provides you with a file chooser and will export just the current view of resources to file. Useful for backup purposes and/or export to other applications. The format is read topmost in the file but is almost identical with for example MyRes, the syntax is further described in the next section.
Import file makes it possible to import resource lists from for example MyRes or other applications. Ensure yourself that you are at the correct galaxy before you begin! The syntax is as follows (one line):
characterName,resourceName,resourceClass,swgcraft_id,amount,... ER,CR,CD,DR,FL,HR,MA,OQ,SR,UT,PE,optional notescharacterName is the wanted name/designation for the entry, its "owner" (optional and can be left blank)
resourceName is the name of the resource
resourceClass is the full name of the resource class, as read in the file resourcetree2.xml, or...
swgcraft_id is the text acronym for a resource class, also read in the file resourcetree2.xml; either one of resourceClass or swgcraft_id must be present, the other may be left blank
amount is the number of units you own of that resource
stats are the values for the stats, or 0 for each one of those stats that has no value or it is unknown
optional notes can contain any content of your choice
The import is done to the following "owner":
- To the name/designation in the import file, if a name exists. Edit the import file before the import if necessary.
- If no name is found in the import file, to the selected name at the character-name/designation drop down list (lower left corner).
- If no entry is selected at the mentioned list, the import is done to the character selected at the Main panel.
Secondly SWGAide supports a format a limited format compared to the above, but still used through the "Import file" dialog. The truncated lines must look like:
characterName,resourceName,resourceClass,swgcraft_id,amountThe meanings are the same, only stats and notes are omitted.In the case all stats are unknown, or when you use the truncated file format, SWGAide tries to look up the resource at SWGCraft, possibly requesting your interaction via a GUI dialog.
Import notes file provides you with the option to type minimal resource info for one or several resources to an in-game notes file, and later open that file in SWGAide which will try to look up the resources at SWGCraft to retrieve info on correct class and stats. If a resource is not found at SWGCraft it will be disregarded, presented at a dialog though.
The notes file can only contain lines for the resources, you'd better dedicate a file for that purpose. It must have the following syntax:
resourceName,amount,optional notesThe meanings are the same as above.Delete entry removes the selected entry from the lists of inventory resources.
Delete all removes all resources from the inventory. Only visible resource entries are removed, that is, if a name is selected at the character-name/designation drop down list only resources for that name are removed.
Bottom row of features
At the bottommost row in the GUI there are filters of different kinds. It is possible to filter for
Character-name/designation, default is "All" characters, but every character found at the currently selected galaxy at all stations you may have subscribed for will show.Add a name/designation that can be used as "owner".Resource classes of any kind.
Delete removes a manually added name/designation but moves possible content to "All".
Stats which filters for the minimum stats.
