Important - Map Names (###)
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 11:01 pm
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!
