Use the new explicit world name on the Game Details page, allow custom name?

Edit: partially completed, just the custom name textbox is left - see #3591 for what’s been implemented so far

With the partially completed multi-world functionality individual worlds can now have names (defaulted to “WorldGenName-#”, in addition to the overall game name (defaulted to “Game #”)

With the game details overhaul you can see a “main” world entry on a saved game

It would be nice if that “main” could be changed to load the actual name out of the game manifest somehow.

Bonus: It would be even better if the user could give a given world a custom name, maybe with a bit of flavor (creative planet or dimension names instead of “Perlin-1”). I think this would go well as a new text box at the top of the individual world config page:

See the GameManifest class and its usages for some clues on how to achieve all this, look at the involved UI screens, and if needed consult the NUI tutorial: https://github.com/Terasology/TutorialNui/wiki

Belated heya @shaunakdixit - yeah that sounds about right, and you don’t necessarily need to confirm before starting, especially on a relatively recent issue. For related work just check out the links, such as PR #3591’s diff showing what was changed for that set and the PR itself describing what was changed.

If you have short term pressing questions it is better to come ask on Discord as GitHub notifications can be easy to miss when you get a ton of them 😃

Hi @Snooober and welcome! 😃

Yes I believe when multi-world matures further there’ll be a world directory for each. So your approach sounds solid. Please proceed with a PR! No need to ask either PRs are always welcome 👍 They’re also great for discussing if any further tweaks to an approach seem warranted
