more then 70 from 149 maps in addons starts with "m"Berg wrote: The disadvantage is if you have too many maps that start with the same name you cant actually select a map without hover the mouse over it and this can get annoying.

That is important why?Duha wrote:more then 70 from 149 maps in addons starts with "m"
The topic is author names added to the front of the actual map name.
True that most start with "M" but that’s not the issue being discussed
I see no point in adding the author name to the front of map names, as you can search addons by author anyway.

Re: addons author_mapname?
You just avoid duplicate map names when you put your name in front of it. This way there can be a Mero-Squared and a BH-Squared. That's allBerg wrote:I see no point in adding the author name to the front of map names, as you can search addons by author anyway.

there is no good way to filter the stupid maps if they all start with M and the only reason they do that is they are vain as was mentioned.
there should be a standard for map names and everyone should follow!
players-mapname.wz
or if they are still vain
players-mapname-[author].wz but this practice should be banned! it has no purpose! we already know who made the map and that information is in the map as well!
DEVS NEED TO PUT THERE FOOT DOWN ON THIS!

All names comes inside one sequence. It is easy to scroll it.Originway wrote:there is no good way to filter the stupid maps if they all start with M and the only reason they do that is they are vain as was mentioned.
There is filters in addon section. Is it enough?

- The in-game interface is limited, as has been mentioned numerous times.
- There is a hard limit on the amount of characters you can see for each map.
- It is pretty obvious that if you have maps that all start with the same sequence of characters then trying to find a certain map gets to be very tedious.
As for requiring a standard for naming, we are still thinking about it.

Ok, author names shall hereafter never be added to map names. All maps must be named following the new official convention:Originway wrote:…

Re: addons author_mapname?
Why must these threads turn personal.
There is no way you know what motivates someone to say/do something. While you may think that is the reason, that is no excuse to engage in flame wars.
This isn't pointed to any individual per se, but all the actors are in this thread.
Stop it now.
Let me show you with pictures, since some of you seem to not understand the issue at hand. Now, do you see the problem ?
Why take up valuable space when there is no need to ?
Locking thread for now.

If people would only read the reasons, I think it is pretty self-explanatory.Staff wrote:
