I had a sudden burst of awareness when installing some new maps on my computer.
Since there's only 3 letters in the Map ID, isn't it entirely possible that some people would have chosen the same letters and thus had their map screwed up?

I suggest, to avoid this, we create a catalog of Map ID names so people don't accidentally choose the same name. It would be like this:

A
AAA ("Awesome Acrobatic Aerials" by SoAndSo)
ABC ("Test Map" by Tester123456)
ABD ("Felucia: Abundance of Resources" by ImNotThatCool)
AUD ("Angruya: Underworld" by argishplargh)
AZZ ("Asteroid Mining Facility" by spacewalk_099)

B
BAM ("Death Star: Explosive Encounters" by actionman8)
BAD ("Worst Map Ever" by issenterprise)
BUN ("Bun" by MasterBun)

and so on and so forth. It could be further refined into "A(second letter A-F)" . . . . . . . "A (second letter G-Z)" . . . etc.

We would need to create a thread on this (or use this one) and have it stickied to the top of this category (SWBF2 Modding).
Regarding maintenance: I'd volunteer myself to be a "Librarian"; I'd need one other as a Co-Librarian and maybe a third as backup. Librarians, as you can guess, would keep all of the map names organized, and be the go-to source for map names.

If the admins would support such an initiative, then we can get started!

Knock yourself out, but it's important to remember that not only are the map three-letter codes alphanumeric (which means you have about 40000 different potential map codes), but you aren't limited to three-letter codes (VisualMunge uses these by default, but you can edit your addme.lua to read your data from whatever folder you want).

Its very possible that an administer will lock this, if not here are some of mine

If you download a map that has (no custom localization but has) the same 3 character ID as one you already have installed then you can just rename the 3-character folder for one of them without breaking anything.

VLH - Valhalla

Presenting the Gametoast Star Wars Battlefront 2 Map Catalog!
This thread is the only attempt so far to catalog all maps, their 3-Letter Map Codes, and authors of those maps.
If you want your map added to the Catalog (highly recommended, so no two 3-letter map IDs are alike), go here.

Moderators/Admins: Please sticky this to the top of the SWBF2 Modding forum.

@THEWULFMAN: Thanks, I'm assuming these are all yours.

About Librarians: Congratulations, you're now a Co-Librarian

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the scoop:
When submitting a map to add to the Catalog, try to put it in this format:

### ("Name" by username)

PAR ("Paratrooping on Tatooine" by stardestroyer001)

You can also submit some details about your map. These details will be placed further along the line. No more than two lines, please! (If it's too long, it will be edited)

### ("Name" by username) A brief summary that doesn't make another line. Try to be concise. It'll sound like the descriptions for your map in-game, in that little box on instant action.

PAR ("Paratrooping on Tatooine" by stardestroyer001) Jet troopers jump from the skies in a lightning raid against the backwater city of Mos Eisley.

You can also submit info on the version number.

PAR ("Paratrooping on Tatooine" v1.5.6 by stardestroyer001) Jet troopers jump from the skies in a lightning raid against the backwater city of Mos Eisley.

Finally, if it's a Work In Progress, please tell us and we will add that to the map's info.


PAR ("Paratrooping on Tatooine" v1.5.6 by stardestroyer001) Jet troopers jump from the skies in a lightning raid against the backwater city of Mos Eisley. WIP

Submitting Your Map
You can submit your map below. The actual Catalog page is here: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 61#p418961
NOTE: YOU MUST LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING A MAP THAT IS NOT YOURS.
You are now allowed to submit others work.

EDIT: I forgot! Admins/Moderators, could you allow THEWULFMAN to edit the Catalog? (He's a Co-Librarian, alongside myself) Thanks.

i dont think that its possible to make somebody moderator for one just for one topic

anyway i dont really see the point of making a new huge catalogue here, alexsecura already made a swbf2-maparchive (table) with mapname, 3lettername author and downloadlink. it hasnt been updated for a year, but if you really want to do this you should continue the archive

I edited the post i made to show WIP maps ok, and i doubt i can be a one-post moderater, and I am probably way to inexperianced to become a moderater, right staff?

edit, i will post maps in the format you talked about stardestroyer

guys, please stop it, We have permission from mav, MAV, okay, you dont have to contribute if it bothers you that much ok
-Co-Librarian, THEWULFMAN

i was just pointing out that there's already a table which could be extended instead of starting a completely new one

It´s not about bothering, it´s just to state that it´s not the "only attempt so far", as there exists another well done catalog.

Fixed.

How about you make it of maps that are released? Because there seem to be a dozen maps by THEWULFMAN there, and as far as I can tell he hasn't released a dozen maps. If we fill it up with "maps people have started on" the list will be very long + useless.

I was wondering about bthat, however, people will still want to know about WIP maps so they can choose a different modid, its a little silly how many i posted, but ive got alot of 40%-60% complete maps, so in my stupid opinion, post WIP map ids too, but only if you started the main first munge, not if you have the idea in your head okay, waiting for main-librarian to decide what he wants to do.

How about a compromise that only maps 50%+ can be included, just like the WIP Rules?

sim-al2 wrote:How about a compromise that only maps 50%+ can be included, just like the WIP Rules?

ok then, remove these maps from the list
RYD ryloth capitol city,
TOM-Testeon Alduria mountains

the rest are 50% and up
