Map titles

[Shmitz]

It's not so much flak as much as, at least in my case, just simply not sharing the opinion that it adds to "professionality". If it adds no meaning to a map because it does not differentiate it from any other map for the same game, then I am more inclined to not include it for artistic reasons. In fact, I would have to say it is counter to the idea of streamlining, since it would be effectively dead weight at the beginning of every map name.

Actually I was thinking, we could come up with a different prefix pretaining to the type of portal maps. Say a map thats heavy into a puzzles gets one prefix while a map that is mostly just flinging gets another.

You're forgetting that most people who make linear fling maps think they made a clever puzzle.

Let's also not forget about the Bonus Map scripts (which EVERYONE should be using now!), which negates the need for such map file name conventions. When you load up your map via the Bonus Map screen, it displays a real name for the map and not "fy_de_dust_party2007_beta45".

hmmm.. many mappers on other sites are using a "pl_" prefix I think that that makes sense.

with the bonus map script, it doesn't matter
