So that all Community Contest entries are compatible with one another and also with other mods that are around, IDs must not conflict. To ensure this, we must reserve ID ranges for strings and 2da ranges.

String ranges

Please modify this table to reserve String IDs before you use them (to avoid lost work). Append within our range if required. Please do not use from outside this range.

Range Begin Range End Used by
89000000 89999999 Entire CC Range (to be divided up)
89000000 89099999 Organiser reserved range
89100000 89100999 Cuvieronius
89101000 89101999 Vaylise
89102000 89102999 Available
89103000 89103999 Available
89104000 89104999 (please keep extending this list as requried)

Why reserve an ID range?

This prevents the need for other modders to change your strings. This prevents any chance of overlapping IDs with other entries or other mods. This means that if you attach voice to conversations, or specify a StringID in a 2da, these connections will not be broken when others use your mod.

How many do I reserve?

Just take 1000 unless you need more. Do not take less, we've got plenty to spare ;)

How do I set my module to use those strings?

  • While logged in to builder wiki (same as login here), edit the page to put your name next to the range.
  • In Toolset, go File > Manage Modules > (select your module) > Properties
  • Set the following:
    • StringID Begin
    • StringID End
    • StringID Last Used
  • Hit OK and close dialogue.

2da Ranges

Currently, we have not reserved any ranges on The 2da reserve page. If you require a 2da range, please contact mikemike37
