|
|
| 12 | Naming Scheme: |
|
|
| 13 | |
|
|
| 14 | Note that these rules are ordered in importance, eg, if a rule conflicts, |
|
|
| 15 | the lower number rule takes precedence. |
|
|
| 16 | |
|
|
| 17 | 1) If the map is currently off the main world (eg, pupland), it should have |
|
|
| 18 | its own top level ldirectory which all the maps in that area are located. |
|
|
| 19 | |
|
|
| 20 | 2) Each city should have it own top level directory (eg, scorn, |
|
|
| 21 | navar_city, santo_dominion). All buildings in the city and located |
|
|
| 22 | nearby or related to it are in the respective city directory. |
|
|
| 23 | |
|
|
| 24 | For maps that are placed directly on the world map and are not in the city, |
|
|
| 25 | the follow guidelines should be used: |
|
|
| 26 | |
|
|
| 27 | 3) If the map is part of a larger quest, a /quest/name_of_quest directory |
|
|
| 28 | should be made, and all the maps for the quest placed in there. If |
|
|
| 29 | some portions of the quest has maps in cities or other places, a README |
|
|
| 30 | should be included explaining this. Note in general, having README's |
|
|
| 31 | for all quests explaining the flow probably isn't a bad idea in the |
|
|
| 32 | case someone else needs to work on it. |
|
|
| 33 | |
|
|
| 34 | 4) If a map is independent (eg, the map is one you just go there, kill and |
|
|
| 35 | get exp), it should be in the /dungeons directory (Ill named I know). |
|
|
| 36 | If the dungeon is comprised of several map (eg, multilevel dungeon), a |
|
|
| 37 | sub directory should be made to hold all of these maps. |
|
|
| 38 | |
|
|
| 39 | 5) Maps should fall into one of the category above - if it does not, and |
|
|
| 40 | you are not sure, send a message to crossfire-devel@lists.real-time.com. |
|
|
| 41 | Maps should not be sorted by author, as this does not make maintaining |
|
|
| 42 | them easy. |
