I've always liked being able to reference an item in code via static ints. 

I have a file named Items.java, and I simply reference Items.RUNE_ARROW for example.

Well if you want this too, I made this to generate them.

public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            File dumpedDefs = new File("./DumpedDefs.txt");
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(dumpedDefs, false);
            //Loading ints into definitions[]
            init();

            HashMap<String, ItemDefinition> map = new HashMap<>();


            // Adding definitions into a hashmap in reverse
            // This replaces items that have duplicate names such as tinderbox
            // With the version which has the lowest ID
            // The key for the map is the name of the item
            for (int i = definitions.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
                ItemDefinition itemDef = forId(i);
                if (!itemDef.description.contains("null")) {
                    String stack = itemDef.isStackable() ? "_STACK" : "";
                    String noted = itemDef.isNoted() ? "_NOTED" : "";
                    String name = itemDef.name.replaceAll(" ", "_")
                            .replaceAll("'", "")
                            .replaceAll("!", "")
                            .replaceAll("%", "")
                            .replaceAll("-", "_")
                            .replace("+", "PLUS")
                            .replace("(", "")
                            .replace(")", "")
                            .replace(".", "_")
                            .replace("&", "_")
                            .replace("/", "_OF_")
                            .replace(",", "_")
                            .replace("?", "")
                            .replaceAll("\"", "")
                            + (itemDef.isNoted() ? noted : stack);
                    if (Character.isDigit(name.charAt(0))) {
                        name = "_" + name;
                    }
                    map.put(name, itemDef);
                }
            }

            ArrayList<Integer> itemArray = new ArrayList<>();

            // Adding all of the items from the hashmap into an array that we can sort
            for (String key : map.keySet()) {
                ItemDefinition itemDef = map.get(key);
                itemArray.add(itemDef.id);
            }
            // printing the unsorted ArrayList
            System.out.println("Before Sorting: " + itemArray);
            // Sorting ArrayList in ascending Order
            Collections.sort(itemArray);
            // printing the sorted ArrayList
            System.out.println("After Sorting: " + itemArray);

            // Writing the file and removing junk from the name
            for (Integer integer : itemArray) {
                ItemDefinition itemDef = forId(integer);
                String stack = itemDef.isStackable() ? "_STACK" : "";
                String noted = itemDef.isNoted() ? "_NOTED" : "";
                String name = itemDef.name.replaceAll(" ", "_")
                        .replaceAll("'", "")
                        .replaceAll("!", "")
                        .replaceAll("%", "")
                        .replaceAll("-", "_")
                        .replace("+", "PLUS")
                        .replace("(", "")
                        .replace(")", "")
                        .replace(".", "_")
                        .replace("&", "_")
                        .replace("/", "_OF_")
                        .replace(",", "_")
                        .replace("?", "")
                        .replaceAll("\"", "")
                        + (itemDef.isNoted() ? noted : stack);
                if (Character.isDigit(name.charAt(0))) {
                    name = "_" + name;
                }
                fw.write("public static int " + name.toUpperCase() + " = " + itemDef.id + "; \n");
            }

            fw.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

 

Example of the ints generated:

public static int TOOLKIT = 1;
    public static int CANNONBALL_STACK = 2;
    public static int NULODIONS_NOTES = 3;
    public static int AMMO_MOULD = 4;
    public static int INSTRUCTION_MANUAL = 5;
    public static int CANNON_BASE = 6;
    public static int CANNON_BASE_NOTED = 7;
    public static int CANNON_STAND = 8;
    public static int CANNON_STAND_NOTED = 9;
    public static int CANNON_BARRELS = 10;
    public static int CANNON_BARRELS_NOTED = 11;
    public static int CANNON_FURNACE = 12;
    public static int CANNON_FURNACE_NOTED = 13;
    public static int RAILING_STACK = 14;
    public static int HOLY_TABLE_NAPKIN = 15;
    public static int MAGIC_WHISTLE = 16;
    public static int GRAIL_BELL = 17;
    public static int MAGIC_GOLD_FEATHER = 18;
    public static int HOLY_LONGBOW = 20;
    public static int COPSE_LONGBOW = 21;
    public static int ELEGANT_LONGBOW = 22;
    public static int MALEVOLENT_LONGBOW = 23;
    public static int RAT_POISON = 24;
    public static int RED_VINE_WORM_STACK = 25;
    public static int FISHING_TROPHY = 26;
    public static int FISHING_PASS = 27;
    public static int INSECT_REPELLENT = 28;
    public static int TINDERBOX = 29;
    public static int BUCKET_OF_WAX = 30;
    public static int LIT_BLACK_CANDLE = 32;
    public static int LIT_CANDLE = 33;
    public static int LIT_CANDLE_STACK = 34;
    public static int EXCALIBUR = 35;
    public static int CANDLE = 36;

Thanks boiz

thanks! this is actually super useful!

Very nice contribution, sure most will use.
