The problem is when custom maps with weird game types crop up. You could still do it, if you wanted to.

**mervaka** · 02-04-2007, 10:40 PM

maybe fall back to ff_ for wierd types?

o_thewetmule · 02-04-2007, 10:49 PM

Why can't the mapnames be like tfc mapnames :P? No prefixes except for concmaps ;p?

Circuitous · 02-04-2007, 10:52 PM

Because TFC already has those mapnames?

o_bumgravy · 02-04-2007, 11:02 PM

just to be differenet my map will have no name, just a 64-digit chain of numbers and letters.

I wonder if that would affect its popularity.

im sure there would be some hardcore avd-ers who will memorise the whole string and be able to recite it perfectly within 2 days of its release

ff_mapname = 3 million times easier to google accurately

o_nodnarb · 02-05-2007, 08:50 PM

mapname.bsp is faster...

o_ma|2io · 02-05-2007, 08:54 PM

Why use google when the FF site should just link to all things FF like they said way back... They could make a page on their site with links to custom maps

o_sta_sirtiger · 02-05-2007, 08:54 PM

Looks *decent* - fog kills my eyes. Other than that, it's all good.

Think a sec.

When FF is released, let's say you want hwguyz for FF.

Let's assume now that no one is using the ff_ prefix.

You go to Google and type hwguyz.bsp

what's gonna come up, ya think?

Will it be the 100+ already-indexed sites carrying and discussing the TFC version?

Or will it be the one or two FF sites carrying the new one?

And there you go.

there is only one :P

Circuitous · 02-06-2007, 06:26 PM

Bad example.

o_own3r · 02-06-2007, 07:42 PM

FF_mapname works, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

o_player · 02-07-2007, 10:49 AM

Well technically, <mapname> isn't broke! But I agree, the ff_ prefix would help a lot when it comes to map searching.
