Custom Filter loot zone

[ghost]

Summary

SUMMARY: Features "Custom Filter loot zone"

Purpose of change

Fixes #25134

Describe the solution

Adds the string filter input from zone options to a string_item_filter when the loot sorting activity searches for the nearest correct tile to push the item to.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

This will need to be updated after #32730 is merged - it copies one of the funtions from there, for use in zone administration, and might not be in the same place afte rthat is merged, and also modifies the loot sorting activity, which is also modified in that PR, or vice versa if this is merged first

Just applied this to my local branch and made a 'battery' zone. Not only does it work, but the item preview on the zone is a super-nice touch! Thank you!

And now I'm reporting in with my first gotcha. I created uses a filter of BBB. I then used a permanent marker to change the name of a swiss army knife to BBB - Swiss Army Knife. While the advanced inventory filter (/) finds the knife fine if I search for 'BBB', the custom filter zone doesn't seem to be accepting the item.

Aaah, I see what's going on... custom_loot_has is checking against the item type, rather than the item name itself (which I presume is what the advanced inventory filter uses).

Ahh right, forgot you can actualyl change the name of the item.
I can see if its possible to pass the item itself as the parameter.

Yeah, done, that seems to work, with the item itelf.

Been doing some more testing locally, and this is working really great! For example, I have tank,drum,-c:clothing that seems to be doing a reasonable job of picking up tanks (but not 'tank tops'), and jar,jug,bottle,-c:food seems to grab most empty containers (but not ones containing food).

I'm 100% happy to consider this passing the bounty requirement once merged. :)

I've been using this pretty heavily, and there's been only one gotcha that I've found. If there's a custom zone and a regular zone on the same tile, then it appears the regular zone gets ignored.

For example, I have a custom zone for pinecones on top of my non-perishable foods. This results in non-perishables not getting sorted to that square any more.

I've attached a save that demonstrates this. Turning off the 'dry food' and 'custom cellar' zones causes the food in the back of the vehicle to get sorted. With them still being enabled, the food just sits there.

I wouldn't consider this to be a blocker, given that everything else seems to be working so well!
