Don't want to have to create hundreds of Custom items just for a bit of variety?
Don't like seeing "Longsword +1" When "Blade Of The Hero" sounds a lot better?
Want to give your players the feeling that what they find in that treasure chest is more than just a sword with a PLUS?
The Custom Item Renaming script simply takes an item, checks its type, properties, abilities, powers, level, appearance and various other qualities and generates a suitable name depending on the item in question.
VERY simple to add to your own modules, just one script that needs to be called!
Also within the download is a separate .erf which contains a small area and a placeable with which its easy to test/check the results of renaming. This isnt essential, but may prove useful/interesting if you are thinking of adding this system to your own modules.

Nice and simple, would be great if you could set a variable that would prevent renaming of certain items. Yet still awesome, some colors would be wicked too =) _________________________ PW Action Server:

I gotta say this script is easily under-rated for what it does. As a DM working with a small team to put together a PW I have trolled through most of the (Diablo-esque for lack of a better term) item generation scripts on the vault, everything from scripts in the top 20 to esoteric little things without any votes at all. I found lots of surprises in quality and function which weren't always reflected in the number of votes or downloads. I found item generation scripts which flat-out didn't do what they said or where the test module didn't actually reflect what you'd be importing in the erf. And the ones which DID nicely produce random weapons/items almost always had naming systems which were A) very poorly implemented or B) so broad as to require a great deal of scripting just to bring them into a "useable" state. I was really frustrated and then, tucked away in my notes, I found I'd flagged this one to take a look at for at least one half (the naming half, of course) of the solution I was looking for. And I'm glad I did.
I have tested this out a bit and I haven't found anything wanting yet. It appears to do exactly what it says, it's not convoluted NOR does it contain other, spurious, scripts which just confuse someone trying to implement it. I am grateful that you designed this the way you did and decided to upload it because I would really be up the creek or on Week Two (TM) essentially writing my own system to solve the problem.
If anyone else is looking for a good, flexible, naming system, I'd not hesitate to recommend this one as the best, most DM-friendly one I've seen yet. Thanks! A 10!
Thanks, ffbj! Very motivating!
Im not so concerned about the votes as with comments, as with projects like these, I have to rely on feedback from others as I may never discover half the nugs/faults/suggestions myself. But yeah, 200/4 harsh, but I guess that goes with the territory ;)

Pretty cool. I also like your spreading fire scripts. As far as votes, well I have one for you, but don't let it bum you, I have a bunch of stuff on the vault, one thing with close to 2,000 dl's and only 4 votes.
I have discovered one minor bug with the script. The values for identifying Shields by appearance is re-ordered per AC value, so it disrupts the numerical order. This will be fixed ASAP but is a time-cnsuming and awkward process. Please be patient and I'll update with the fix soon!
I really think this could be useful, but Im concerned that only 2 out of 60+ people have commented and only one of those have voted. If you experience any problems or have any queries regarding this at all, please leave a comment. If I'm not made aware, Im not necessarily going to notice any bugs etc. so they may not be addressed. If any issues are brought to light here, I can look into them and fix them!
Gonna try it out. Thanks! _________________________ - Endoora -

This looks to be very useful. Nice job PJ!
