naming map files whatever u want
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:16 pm
this is a really short tutorial on how to name map files anything. (as long as it has a valid windows filename.)
1.) Name ur scenario tag anything that is compatible with tool.
2.) compile it.
3.) rename it to the name u want.
4.) where most people screw up is there is a string in the map file that must match the external filename. Go into a hex editor and look at the top of the file. You should see the scenario tag's filename in the hex. Edit it to match the new filename. This can include spaces, apostrophes, and other symbols and even symbols not found on the keyboard.
This can help for instance if you name the map after yourself, and your profile name has weird symbols in it. Anything like that.
I hoped this helped some nubs. ^^
