Archive:Map naming

General

Map names should only consist of the lowercase letters a-z, the digits 0-9, dashes '-' and underscores '_' to ensure compatibility with all common file systems.

Outdoor maps

continent-horizontal-vertical[_mapname].tmx

Every continent should be divided into a grid whichs horizontal coordinates are labeled with letters and vertical coordinates labeled with numbers. Each map name should start with the continent followed by an underscore followed by the continent-specific map coordinates. When the map has a noteworth point of interest this may be appended after the coordinates preceeded by an underscore.

Examples:

argaes-c-7.tmx
tonori-e-5.tmx
tonori-e-4_tulimshar.tmx

Indoor maps

[continent-]location[-sublocation].tmx

Indoor maps should start with the name of the continent (when appropriate) followed by a dash followed by the name of the location. When the location consists of multiple maps it should be followed by a dash followed by the sublocation. The naming scheme for the sublocations should be chosen separately for each location. When it is not clear in which continent the location is located (like locations that are a connection between continents or "virtual" locations like the afterlife) the continent can be omitted.

Examples:

gispaa-fireshrine.tmx
gasaron-wizardtower-3rdfloor.tmx
tonori-tulimshar-indoor.tmx
oceanliner-upperdeck.tmx
