Head nomenclature suggestion

[JeffTL]

I think that heads should be named for what they are or famous graalians who use them, not simple numbers...for example, head0.png should be fung-head.png, head25.png or whatever should be zorbi-head.png, and so on. I'll start working on a list of suggested renamings if there's anyone interested out there.

numbers are faster to type rather than long names

[smallballn13]

That would make names too long like swords and shields (((((

um... what's the point of you spamming?

stupid preteens...

[JeffTL]

I'm not talking naming things like warcaptain-head or zero33devil-head or anything like that...I mean like fung-head for head0.

[Butz]

Head0 is still shorter than fung-head....

I think they should make a sword and shield number system, and make a sword choosing NPC like they have the clothing thing

[JeffTL]

head0, five characters
fung-head, nine.

difference, four characters and better mnemonic for those who habitually forget their heads (In my newbie days, I had a bad runin with an NPC that changed my head and I forgot that the head I liked was head 788. After that I remembered it and still know it)

...
Who would take the time to rename and reupload these names, and who would want to have to find the new name of their heads?

[JeffTL]

I'd be willing to rename the heads, anyone with FTP could upload them en masse (WS-FTP can do that, though it'd take a while), and a list could be published with entries like:

0-fung-head.png
25-zorbi-head.png


and so on.

that's a dumb idea that will do nothing but make things more complicated

[IceHawk]

Nastazio: that would only cause problems like saying Merlin-Head.gif and having merlin say " THAT IS MY HEAD YOU CANNOT USE IT BLAH BLAH" not that merlin would do that heh

The heads are numbers because they are more orginized and esier to use for npcs. The swords and shields didn't come along that eslily though

[JeffTL]

Maybe there could be both...the numbered heads could be kept, but copies would be made to a named format, and all new heads would be processed in both ways. A few New Format heads are already there...zormite.png, vincentheadnew.png, stefan-head.png, mrsbear-head.png, and hoss-head.png. Being as the average head is only a few kilobytes, it wouldn't be but a few extra megabytes and there'd be something for those who prefer a better mnemonic and for those who want to have a quick number.

Can you say unnecessary waste of space? And that 99% of everyone would use numbers anyway?
