Reply To: How to name your files for your map correctly

Systematic nomenclature will avoid total chaos in your game directory and facilitate easy file management.

Use for example first four letters of your name followed by mapname or filename:

shemcrimea.wac

shemcrimea.npj

shemcrimea.bin

shemhod.wac

shemhod.npj

shemhod.bin

etc.

This will allow you to include additional files to get the most out of your maps. Here are some examples:

shemsoundxxx.wav

shemxx.aip

shemtextxx.txt

Now you can order files by NAME and keep the game directory tidy. If you are inconsistent and careless hosts will be unable to match all required files with your maps and decide to remove them. As a result your maps will look really stupid, e.g. vehicles will move around without animations. You may have seen helicopters floating around without spinning blades. It’s not a pretty sight.
