Tree names on blockConfig - how do I get tree names ?

I want to up the woodLogs drop but there are so many different types of trees, how do I get the names of the trees I want to adjust?

 

Trial and error.
Check the playfield file to see exactly which ones are on that playfield and then process of elimination....

 

First get this wonderful tool :

https://empyriononline.com/threads/tool-empyrion-playfield-designer-v2-04-exp.37581/

Download link :

https://empyriontools.org/download/

Get the latest version in "experimental" section (red arrow):



Unzip this somewhere, then navigate to the folder EmpyrionPlayfieldDesigner\data\images\deco

All trees and plants are in there thanks to the author @jmcburn .

You can match the names of the images with the names in the BlocksConfig.ecf. For example, this plant:



The image name is " AlienPlant04.jpg" and if you search in the blocksConfig.ecf without the option "match case" (Notepad++) then you will find it around line 2611 :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

{ Block Id: 297, Name: AlienPlant04, Ref: AlienPlant01
Material: wood
Model: Environment/Plants/AlienVegetation/AlienPlant04Prefab
SizeInBlocks: "2,5,2"
{ Child DropOnDestroy
Item: WoodLogs
Count: "2,4" <<< will drop minimum 2, maximum 4 WoodLogs
Prob: 1
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There may be some small differences in letter case between the images names and the BlocksConfig.ecf names, so choose the BlocksConfig,ecf names as the "right" ones.

You can also check the "Config Editor" included in the Empyrion Playfield Designer. It's experimental but works fine.

First open the Playfield Editor. Let it load, it can be long as it will get all files from the game first. Then go to the "tools" tab :



Next choose which file you want to modify by double-clicking it, then use the search bar to find your item/ block, select it in the list then click on "edit" :



Next step is to choose what to edit, select it and click "edit" again:



Next step will be to change these values :



Last step :



Click "ok" until you're back at the "files" page ( image #2) and save your file.

That tool looks useful, thanks I'll give it a try
