Hello,

Does anyone know how to make sure the name of an item is displayed without the article.

I would like to see: "Dr. bad guy" instead of "a Dr. bad guy".

Cheers,
Pixelfck

This does not appear to be possible - the List dockscreen itself automatically prefixes the quantity of items to the item name.

I had this very question once and the answer was in the Armor :)

it HOW you name the item that determines the description to be closer to what you wanted.

in Contact : http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1126

I had done a working Restaurant : the meals ( Servings ) were displayed on the DS : and dragged me to death until they were displayed the way I wanted them.

ALSO: the Restaurant has it's own Buy Screen because I had to call only the items I wanted and make sure the food was GONE after the meal was over ( using a take on the Corporate Trading Post, I put your ordered items of food onto a ship that gates out so the game does not have ordered food items laying around the system :) )

check out Contact, if anything I can truthfully say that even if my .xml is not the best, I have found some interesting things along the way that leads others to build AWESOME .xml ideas

Thanks, I digging around in your code now.
Looks like an interesting mod by the way.

Cheers,

Edit
Ah, you mean the

Code: Select all

[Serving(s) of ]Sapphire Ham
syntax. That will unfortunately not help me out, as I'm trying to implement uniquely named items.
