LITH ctype is a number

    For most elements, ctype dispays as an element name. But for LITH, it displays as a number. How would you make it such that an elements' ctype displays as a number, not an element name?

    Because you need to check the wiki or type in a console command to find the id number that matches the element.

    lith's ctype used to display as an element's name before it was fixed, I'm sure if you look at the update you can figure it out.

    Ah, thanks! So is it possible to edit that in Lua?

    Nope, something like this is only controlled via the c++ HUD code, you can't interact with that from Lua
