Rearranging workshop categories in-game?

[LarannKiar]

 

I don't think you can rearrange workshop categories in-game. If you have a lot of mod added workshop categories, might be the easiest solution to Revert() all formlists (delete script added froms from them) with a script, then redesign and rebuild your category menu from scratch..

So, revert would clear all script added categories, (which would be all but one for me, I think....) But, it would be possible to read thru the form list, build an array with all categories, and then possible dictate the order in which categories were added, and where to put them?

 

Yes it's possible. You can try this Quest script. Just create a Quest and attach this script to it, then fill the properties.

 

Note that I don't have any mod added workshop categories (yes, I'm serious :)) so I couldn't test it. It complied though...

 

 

Scriptname RearrangeWorkshopCategoryScript extends Quest Const

FormList[] Property VanillaWsCategories Auto Const
{Array of FormLists of vanilla workshop categories.
FormLists are in order, see Index in functions XXXXXCategoryAtIndex().}

FormList[] Property ModAddedWsCategories Auto Const
{Array of FormLists of mod added workshop categories.
FormLists are in order, see Index in functions XXXXXCategoryAtIndex().}

Keyword[] Property ModAddedWsCategoryKeywords Auto Const
{Array of Keywords of mod added workshop categories.
Keywords are in order, see Index in functions XXXXXCategoryAtIndex().}

;/ ------------------------------------------------------

	Legnth of the arrays should match.
	Elements of the arrays need to be in the same order.
