List of all Zone Names

Hi all,

I've another question.
What is the best way to loop through all the zone names of the game?

My Idea was to have Loop with i = 1 to 99999 with this function inside GetZoneNameByIndex(i)
If the return value is not empty, I will push it to my array. This should return all zone names, right?

    local zone
    while true do
      zone = zbn(i)
      if zone == "" then break end
      zones[zone] = i
      i = i + 1
    end
  end

Don't forget: These names a raw, including localization data. You should use zo_strformat for display.

Thanks votan,

this is very similar to my idea, I will give it a try. :D

Hi Garkin,

thanks it was very useful for me.

Hi again,

is there a similar way to export all the titles not only the titles of the current character?
I've found now way to export all titles.

I am not 100% sure, but I think they are all tied to achievements.
You could try to iterate over all of them and use

Code:

GetAchievementRewardTitle(integer achievementId)

    Returns: boolean hasRewardOfType, string titleName

to get their name

Nice idea it works great. I've to export the titles as female and male in every language because in german you have different variations of the titles. I used this code to export the titles.

Lua Code:

local gameLang = GetCVar("Language.2")
local gender = GetUnitGender("player")
 
if(type(TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles) == "nil") then
    TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles = {}
end
 
if(type(TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles[gender]) == "nil") then
    TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles[gender] = {}
end
 
for i=1,9000 do
    local hasRewardOfType, titleName = GetAchievementRewardTitle(i)
 
    if(hasRewardOfType == true) then
        
        if(type(TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles[gender][i]) == "nil") then
            TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles[gender][i] = {}
        end
 
        TitleExport.savedVariables.Titles[gender][i][gameLang] = titleName
    end
end

Looks fine.

I would not use a constant number of achievements though.
Who knows how many we might get in the future.

Maybe something like this (untested)?

Lua Code:

local function ExportTitle(achievementId)
-- your export code here
end
 
for topLevelIndex=1, GetNumAchievementCategories() do
  local _, numSubCategories, numAchievements = GetAchievementCategoryInfo(topLevelIndex)
  for achievementIndex=1, numAchievements  do
    local achievementId = GetAchievementId(topLevelIndex, nil, achievementIndex)
    ExportTitle(achievementId)
  end
  for subCategoryIndex=1, numSubCategories do
    local _, numAchievements = GetAchievementSubCategoryInfo(topLevelIndex, subCategoryIndex)
    for achievementIndex=1, numAchievements  do
      local achievementId = GetAchievementId(topLevelIndex, categoryIndex, achievementIndex)
      ExportTitle(achievementId)
    end
  end
end

This was the easiest way to get all achievements. In my Script it was set to 999999 to check a large range of available IDs.

I've attached two files with exported zones and titles from my ESO-Database MySQL Tables.
The files are coma separated and UTF-8 w/o BOM encoded.
