[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 135816, member: 27764"] The string IDs wouldn't need to be centrally managed as it would very unlikely that they wouldn't be unique, the only thing you'd want to do is have a naming guide, so if I was writing a plugin I'd probably use something like the following: mypluginname [LIST] [*]mypluginname_screen1 [LIST] [*]mypluginname_screen1_button1 [*]mypluginname_screen1_button2 [/LIST] [*]mypluginname_screen2 [LIST] [*]mypluginname_screen2_button1 [*]mypluginname_screen2_button2 [/LIST] [*]mypluginname_screen3 [LIST] [*]etc. [/LIST] [/LIST] That would probably be the best way of handling it, yes. You could probably implement the string ID system so that they dynamically get allocated integer IDs when MP starts up, so effectively your still using the same system.
