SortData VX + ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

Do you need to get a list of item or skill names?
Do you want to get them sorted out to see if you're missing anything important there?
Then this temporary scriptlet is right for you! Grinning

If you find out that there's a new option in the title menu's command window, then that's what you need to pick there!

Then you'll be able to find lots of options that will let you save 2 separate TXT files in your game's root directory.

Open them and you'll be able to get the list of names of any DB present in the VX ACE DB window and a sorted list of such items or skills or common events.

FAQ

What you need to do is to paste it on a new script section in the Materials group.

If you have any backtrace script in place, make sure this scriptlet is placed ABOVE that backtrace script.
