I have some code in which I have itype\_ids which I want to print to the screen using ityp::nname. In itype.h there is a mention of a master itype map in which I can look up itypes by itype\_ids, but I can’t find it. Anyone know where this map is, or what’s it called?

(itype.h:451)

```auto
struct itype {
...
    // unique string identifier for this item,
    // can be used as lookup key in master itype map
    // Used for save files; aligns to itype_id above.
    std::string id;
...
}
```

I found it. I had overlooked item::nname(itype\_id)
