[Source] Node around player

[nopz]

Hello

I was wondering about how to get nodes around player. I figured out that writing two xml referencing all Minerals and Herbs was a good way to do that.

With those two list and Object name was able to identify whether or not this object is a node.

Herbs.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<herbs>
  <herb>Bloodthistle</herb>
  <herb>Peacebloom</herb>
  <herb>Silverleaf</herb>
  <herb>Earthroot</herb>
  <herb>Mageroyal</herb>
  <herb>Briarthorn</herb>
  <herb>Stranglekelp</herb>
  <herb>Bruiseweed</herb>
  <herb>Wild Steelbloom</herb>
  <herb>Grave Moss</herb>
  <herb>Kingsblood</herb>
  <herb>Liferoot</herb>
  <herb>Fadeleaf</herb>
  <herb>Goldthorn</herb>
  <herb>Khadgar's Whisker</herb>
  <herb>Wintersbite</herb>
  <herb>Firebloom</herb>
  <herb>Purple Lotus</herb>
  <herb>Arthas' Tears</herb>
  <herb>Sungrass</herb>
  <herb>Blindweed</herb>
  <herb>Ghost Mushroom</herb>
  <herb>Gromsblood</herb>
  <herb>Golden Sansam</herb>
  <herb>Dreamfoil</herb>
  <herb>Mountain Silversage</herb>
  <herb>Plaguebloom</herb>
  <herb>Icecap</herb>
  <herb>Black Lotus</herb>
  <herb>Felweed</herb>
  <herb>Frozen Herb</herb>
  <herb>Dreaming Glory</herb>
  <herb>Ragveil</herb>
  <herb>Terocone</herb>
  <herb>Flame Cap</herb>
  <herb>Ancient Lichen</herb>
  <herb>Goldclover</herb>
  <herb>Netherbloom</herb>
  <herb>Netherdust Bush</herb>
  <herb>Firethorn</herb>
  <herb>Nightmare Vine</herb>
  <herb>Mana Thistle</herb>
  <herb>Tiger Lily</herb>
  <herb>Talandra's Rose</herb>

  <herb>Lichbloom</herb>

  <herb>Frost Lotus</herb>
</herbs>

                NodeHelper.HerbList = new List<NodeModel>();
                NodeHelper.MineralList = new List<NodeModel>();

                loadHerbs();

            foreach (XElement node in XElement.Load(XmlTextReader.Create(HerbStream)).Elements())
                HerbList.Add(new NodeModel
                {
                    name = node.Value
                });
        }

        private static void loadMinerals()

            foreach (XElement node in XElement.Load(XmlTextReader.Create(MineralStream)).Elements())
                MineralList.Add(new NodeModel
                {
                    name = node.Value
                });
        }

        public static bool IsNode(string nodeName)
        {
            if (HerbList.Find(item => item.name == nodeName) != null)
                return true;
            if (MineralList.Find(item => item.name == nodeName) != null)
                return true;
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Attach both xml as a Binary Ressource to your project and use IsNode(dword ObjectPointer) as a method to test if this object is a node or not.

I don't know if this code is useful or not, anyway it's working

I would add more attributes to the XML files and have overloads for IsNode(). I would also use display ID's instead of names so that it is non-locale-specific. I might write some code for it if I feel like it
