The Integrated Search feature in the Durty Cloth Tool provides a fast and efficient way to find specific items within the Drawables List. This functionality allows users to quickly filter and locate cloth items, textures and tattoos, improving productivity when managing large projects with many appearance items.
The Integrated Search bar is prominently located at the top of the Drawables List. As you type into the search field, the list dynamically updates to show only the drawables that match the search criteria. This is especially useful when working with projects that contain a significant number of items, allowing users to immediately pinpoint the specific item they need.
Real-Time Filtering As you type in the search box, the results in the drawables list update instantly, showing only items that match the search term.
Versatile Search Parameters The search system allows filtering by various parameters, including:
Position: Locate items based on their position within the project (e.g., 0
for the first position).
Type: Filter results by drawable type (e.g., "Top," "Shoes").
File Name: Search for assets using file names or partial matches.
Game File Name: Directly find assets based on their corresponding game file names.
Combined Parameter Searches Combine multiple parameters in a single query for precise filtering. Examples include:
"0 Top"
to find all tops with position 0
.
"Shoes 2"
to locate shoes in position 2
.
Drawable Types Filtering You can search across various drawable types such as tops, masks, shoes, and more. This ensures that no matter what kind of item you're looking for, the Integrated Search will help you find it quickly.
Fuzzy Matching The search feature supports fuzzy matching, meaning you don’t need to enter exact names or terms. This makes the search more forgiving and user-friendly, even if you are unsure of the exact drawable name.
Context-Sensitive Results The results of the search will not only show the drawable names but also the associated drawable type and any other relevant metadata, helping you easily distinguish between similar items.
Search Token Matching Search queries can utilize tokens to filter results with precision. Tokens such as positions, drawable types, or file-related keywords help you focus on specific assets.
Search Result Scoring Results are ranked using advanced scoring, ensuring that the most relevant matches appear first. This helps you locate critical items efficiently without sifting through irrelevant results.
Activate the search bar by pressing CTRL + F or clicking the Search Icon at the top of the application.
Enter your search query, leveraging the system's fuzzy matching, token processing, and parameter filtering.
Instantly view ranked results, with the most relevant matches at the top.
Refine your query or combine parameters for more specific results.
Double-click on any result to jump directly to the corresponding item or setting in the project.
Time-Saving: Eliminates the need to manually scroll through the list of drawables, allowing you to focus on editing and optimizing items.
Efficient: Makes finding and editing specific drawables more streamlined, especially in large projects with hundreds of items.
User-Friendly: Supports partial searches and fuzzy matching, making it accessible for users even if they don’t remember the exact item name.
The Integrated Search feature is a vital tool within Durty Cloth Tool’s user interface, making it easier and faster to navigate and manage your drawable list, enhancing your workflow and project management.
