Filenames

[GoZelda]

If you play a lot on different servers, you see that all the files in your webgifs folder are a mess. I think that this should happen:
the playerworlds sets a starting text for files, maybe with a maximum of 5;
When someone uploads a file to the playerworld, and the name doesn't start with , for example, mud_, then automatically, mud_ gets in front of it, or, what the uploader should choose, g2k2_ or something else. If the file already starts with mud_, it just is uploaded. And i suggest Graal the Adventure doesn't need starters as anyone can use their GFX.

It would be nice if the graphics were automatically divided into separate folders dependent on the world on which they were found.

And another prove of how smart Kaimetsu is:
what takes me 5 lines to write, this monkey writes in one line! He probably is a chimpansee, they're the smartest monkeys. Along with humans

Eh, I'm not sure if Kaimetsu is a monkey or not .

Yes, it should either be seperated into folders like kai said, or the playerworlds should start making their graphics serverprefex_nameofgraphic.png/mng/gif

Not to mention the fact that some PW's inadvertently use a filename already in use, and screws everything up, at least it has happened to me

Separate folders would mean that we could open our webgif folders without being struck by the fury of ten thousand little files assaulting our system memory.

hmm.. y? maybe just for the staffs in a server selected their own graphics.. but the Folder ideas isnt good =/ couse graphics like "door.gif" or "lights1.png" are everywhere.. o.O so it just will be in the last playerworld you visited?

I think this.. for now every new pw that stefan put on, he should put in the folder options "images graphics/servername_*.png" ... so the new playerworlds start right.. and the old pws start learning =P

Well im sure we could get a global list. or if not:

Door.gif = 234bytes (That over all the servers is like 3Kb max)

Put them in every folder. This actually alleviates the problem of multiple file instances - what if a PW wanted to have a nonstandard door.gif? Which one would be stored? Maybe a server wants to use a different light2.png, but not change all the scripts that use it. Individually-owned files are the best approach by far.

Another advantage:

You could easily delete all the files pertaining to a playerworld if it is taken down or you don't play it anymore.

hapenned to me with sounds, bravo used a sword.wav sound, and it overwrited my old sword.wav sound. And as i already mentioned with the GTA files that don't need a starting thing, there should be a public folder that contains beer.png, light2.png etc.

yea, that happened to me too
If each PW would put their pw name in from of the gif's that they make, that belong to them, that would alleviate the problem of over writing others, and the ones that all the pw's share would stay what they are

Metaphorically a monkey.
