View source for RawBatteryDisplayName Explanation

== Explanation ==

The [[RawBatteryDisplayName]] page is a workaround for efficiently converting Battery data names into Battery display names. I previously attempted to use a template file using a <nowiki>#switch function</nowiki>, but it was extremely inefficient since there are so many Batteries to check through one by one, and the template had to be called over and over for every Battery data name on the page that needed to be converted. This method is way faster.

== Usage ==

{{#get_web_data:
|url={{fullurl:RawBatteryDisplayName|action=raw}}
|data=__all
}}

Just put this once anywhere in your wiki page that is before the Battery data names that you wish to convert.
<pre>
{{#get_web_data:
|url={{fullurl:RawBatteryDisplayName|action=raw}}
|data=__all
}}
</pre>

Then, to convert a Battery data name such as "AlienSuperconductingCoilBattery", simply type:
<pre>
{{#external_value:AlienSuperconductingCoilBattery}}
</pre>
Which would output: {{#external_value:AlienSuperconductingCoilBattery}}

== How to Update RawBatteryDisplayName ==

Whenever the game adds more Batteries, [[RawBatteryDisplayName]] can be easily updated as follows:
# Open the file <pre> TIBatteryTemplate.en </pre>, which is located in <pre> \Terra Invicta\TerraInvicta_Data\StreamingAssets\Localization\en </pre>
# Do a search for every line that starts with <pre>TIBatteryTemplate.displayName.</pre>
# Copy every line found, and paste it into [[RawBatteryDisplayName]], replacing everything after the line <pre>EXPLANATION=[[RawBatteryDisplayName Explanation]]</pre>
# Finally do a search and replace to replace every <pre>TIBatteryTemplate.displayName.</pre> with nothing.
