Vessel Auto Renamer

A small plugin, similar to the Launch Numbering, but less automagical and with finer control.

It lets you specify a naming template in the VAB/SPH. E.g. you launched "Kerbochod 1" and "Kerbochod 2". With a naming template like "Kerbochod %d", the plugin will search the name history and rename it to "Kerbochod 3" on launch.

There are currently 3 ways of specifying the naming templates (from the lowest priority to the highest):

1) Vessel description in the editor: the plugin will search for a string within "[]"

2) Vessel name in the editor

3) Part's vessel naming: an underused stock feature that lets you launch a vessel with a different name than in the editor.

Multiple naming schemes are supported:

• %d - arabic numerals
• %0nd - zero padded arabic numerals, replace "n" with the minimal width
• %x, %X - hexadecimal numerals, lower and upper case, can also be zero padded
• %b, %B - binary numerals, %B for padded to 8 digits, %b for unpadded (thanks AMPW-german)
• %r, %R - Roman numerals, lower and upper case
• %a, %A - Latin alphabet letters, lower and upper case
• %g, %G - Greek alphabet letters, lower and upper case (α, β, γ, etc)
• %w, %W - Greek alphabet letters as words, lower case and capitalized ("Alpha", "Beta", etc)
• %p, %P - NATO Phonetic Alphabet, lower case and capitalized ("Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", etc)
• %l, %L - legacy WWII CCB (ICAO) Phonetic Alphabet, lower case and capitalized ("Able", "Bake", "Charlie", "Dog", etc)
• %c, %C - Russian alphabet letters, lower and upper case (А, Б, В, Г, etc)
• %% to escape %
