Although this and other macros I write are not exclusively for use by RedGuides,
I am authorizing its use for the community.
(This and other macros I write may be available at "other" MQ2 sites).

This macro has been tested using the most recent RedGuides MQ2 compile.

This macro and all others I submit for the community will be fully supported by myself
(as long as you have not altered the code for it).
Changing user specific (non global) declares is permissible.




I present for your usage: ZoneNames.

Q: What does it do?
A: This macro will generate a log file in your MQ2\Logs directory that will contain the zone id, zone name, zone shortname for EVERY zone in game up to zone 999.. beyond that value there is no way to get an accurate zone ID because every zone id above that are specialized instanced zones..

I run it after every patch when getting closer to an expansion update... because they push the new expansion zone names into the eqgame.exe a few weeks before the actual release.

I have found allot of zones that are not commonly known.. and like to see new expansion zone names before the come out.

It's not an uber macro.. just a playful ditty..

I updated this a little bit.

It now writes to an INI.
It now only writes if the information doesn't exist or the information has changed for some reason.
It now writes additional information for the current zone as you have access to more information in the zone you are currently in.

It now scans for zone ID's higher than 999, because you never know....they might decide to make more than 1000 zones one day haha.

Anyway, I find the output to be more user friendly than just writing the information to the same log when you run it. Plus this makes it conveniently located in the macros folder.
