A) Introduction & Background

Renderable Instances, or Rendinst/RI, are all the static objects on a map. Buildings, houses, trees, static cars, windows, doors, etc. are examples of RI.
Currently in Enlisted, the internal RI list relies on a standalone file ri_list.blk located in enlisted-game.vromfs.bin\gamedata\, which is manually updated by the hands of the developers. Therefore, there are a number of missing items in ri_list.blk, leading to them inaccessible from within the editor’s RI menu.
This patch aims to provide the community with the latest RI list obtained from riDesc.bin (which is a zip file that contains all the rendinst names), and allow easy access from within the Mods Editor

B) Installation & Usage

  1. Download the following .blk file from my Google Drive:
    editor_ri_groups.blk

  2. Copy the file editor_ri_groups.blk to the root of your Enlisted folder (where you installed Enlisted). If prompted, click “yes” to replace existing file.

  3. Load up Mods Editor

  4. Open RI menu (see image below)

  5. In category filter, select the option Complete RI List - Enlisted Modders, right below << Favorites >>


    Note: if there is no option called Complete RI List - Enlisted Modders in your drop down menu, go back to Step 2 and check again, or restart your Editor

  6. You can now browse every RI available in the game

C) Known issues

  1. Game would freeze up for a few seconds when it loads the RI list for the first time in each session
    (i.e. will not load the list again until you close the Editor entirely and re-launch)

  2. RI list needs to be manually updated as it doesn’t update itself when the game updates, please make sure you check for updates from this topic regularly.
    The download google drive link available above should always be the latest.

  3. You MUST re-select the rendinst group Complete RI List - Enlisted Modders every time you relaunch the Editor app, it does not save your choice.

  4. Note that a few items in our custom RI list might not spawn and/or work at all. (99% should work)
