Description
This mod adds controls to nearly all block types that allows you to easily rename multiple blocks at once.


Features
- Multiple Block Renaming: Simply select all the blocks you want to rename, enter the new name they should receive in the "New Naming" field, and then press the "Replace Name" button.

- Prefix and Suffix Names: The prefix and suffix options allow you to add the text in the "New Naming" field to the existing block names. "Prefix Name" will add the text to the beginning of the block name, while "Suffix Name" will add the text to the end of the block name.

- Reset Name: The "Reset Name" button will reset the name of selected blocks back to their default names (the name they receive when you initially build the block). Please note it does not suffix the block with numbers. This can be useful if some degenerate NPC drone decides to hack your terminal control menu and scramble all the names of your blocks. I'm sure there are other uses for it as well ;)

Limitations
Some blocks were not able to receive these controls. They include:
- Contracts Block
- Survival Kit

The reason for this is because they do not have their own ModAPI interface that allows controls to be added to them (and adding via the generic IMyTerminalBlock interface does not appear to work for this).

Despite this, most blocks should still be compatible with these controls, even most modded blocks. If you come across any other blocks that do not have controls created on them, let me know in the comments and I'll either fix support or add to the incompatible list above.

Seems that adding this mod disables the colorful HUD mod. Not sure if this is known or if it can be fixed however. I have tried changing the load order of the 2 mods but it does not make any difference. the colorful HUD just does not show up if this mod is loaded.

can this mod also rename a merged group name like if you put all guns in to a groub p called guns and rename it to Autocannons so we don't have to set up all stuff from new?

@BustyCatbot: I use this and scripts in every game I play and don't have any issues. You may have a conflict between mods or scripts (or both) that you're running.

It seems this mod completely removes the ability to edit programmable blocks, at least from my testing.

Hi, Thanks for the Mod.

The only thing that would make it better is an "Enumerate" function where it would add two digit numbers to the blocks selected (01, 02, 03, etc); since doing a rename wipes the original numbering out.

It seems someone updated your mod with a find and replace feature and named it " Easy block renaming Extra ". I have not yet tried but this seems to be a good idea.
Thank you again for this mod :selike:

Hey, actually meant to post this on the Thrust Multiplier mod, posted here by accident. Thanks for the answer!

Howdy. There's no repository, but if you open the mod files you'll find all the mod code.
