Ok, seams to me that more mods are coming with custom textures so i'd like for us to get some kind of agreement regarding mod structure ....


... i was thinking of two ways acceptable for AAA map mods :

1. make new folder with authors prefix in name and put all custom text. files in it ( no need for prefix in filenames here )

example :

gameroot\mods\mapmods\maps\_Tex\fly_Z\ xxxx.tga

2 put your files in default "texture"folders ..... Prefix in files names is mandatory here !


.... this should drastically decrease publishing time ( cos i won't have to rearrange every mod that is submitted)


.... opinions please

thank you

Standards are good.

Stuff that streamlines your workload is also good.

Yep, sounds good to me

Solution 1 seems more easier to manage so I would go with that.

Option 2 - looks favourite
Just needs some file naming rules established to keep it orderly.

I like more the second option. Although I can't see now a clear advantage over the first, except I think it'll be somewhat easier to handle when there will be lots of textures. Hehe, lots of textures, that would be great...

[fly_zo]

... IMHO with first option there is less danger for mods overlapping (conflicts) and easier for users to update/uninstall , hence less explanations for authors later on

as i said, submitted mods with either option are acceptable .....

All clear now, I thought it was deciding between the 2.
Now let's hope it will rain with good textures

[fly_zo]

...ok then , i'll update guidelines for mods submissions with that instructions .


thanks gents

Well I'm mostly sitting in my armchair and rubbing my hands while seeing what is going on here, and generally on AAA. Pretty amazing and beautiful developments
I have a small time allocated to work modifying Moscow map summer (a forgotten map lol)
