Any offset between mapper number and filename number?

Radish

First time out of the vault
I want to delete all the modified ammo prototypes from Celestial's patch, so I used the mapper to find the prototype numbers for all the ammo and then I'll delete all the matching-numbered PRO files. But first I want to make sure: is the number the mapper gives the exact same number on the item's PRO file, or is there an offset?
 
If you look in your mapper2 directory ....
mapper2\scripts\headers\itempid.h
You see a list of items with their PID numbers.

If you load up FIC and go to options, set the tool to point to your fallout2 locations, like this:

msg files -> master.dat\text\english\game
items.lst -> master.dat\proto\items
inven.lst -> master.dat\art\inven
critters.lst -> master.dat\proto critters

(assuming you extracted master.dat)

You can check that the PIDs do match.
FIC shows item 94 as a shotgun, which matches the itempid.h number in the mapper directory.

So there doesn't seem to be an offset, but what people do in their mods, who knows?
