stevel Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Someone please explain the rational behind the filename scheme for Type2 maps. Why not just embed the format info in the file itself? Why does the user need to care? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Things get complicated when you try to produce a single file in a format that can be recognized and processed by both the Mac and Windows versions of the game engine and both the Mac and Windows versions of the map tool. Also, most users prefer that when a running program needs a specific support file that the program try to find and load that file automatically before asking the user to locate it manually. That convenience requires that a naming convention be used. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
