Note that just like the named indices, all of the named properties were identified by modders. Now that we’ve found the correct index, we can take a look at the property file. In this case, we can use this feature to find the index we’re looking for. Note that some indices have a name and others haven’t - these names are added by modders to easily identify them and are not used by the game itself. In most cases, this means that these indices are related somehow.įilter on property files, and search for the item you want to move to a different menu. Note that technically the combination of all the TGI id's needs to be unique - you will find that there are indices with the same instance id, but with different types. In a lot of cases, the type and group id aren't even included in a reference to a specific index. **Instance**: The main identifier for each index.
