Community Filename Prefix Reservations

[Jarno Mikkola]

Would someone be so kind

No.

 

post this request from maus into the prefix reservation thread at Blackwyrm Lair...

Well, that I can do.

Done... assuming things, that might be totally wrong, but there's likely no need to get into detail .. cause of course I am right.

 

EDIT: The change was accepted...

Thank you!

Added a direct link to the prefix list.

@Baronius please deactivate the advertisment for your game from the list, it's tedious to watch every time.

I use MH for my mods, which seems to be still available.  Can someone please register it?

[Guest ArcNKD]

I would like to use ARC-X as my prefix, if anyone is still around to register them?

Prefixes are 2 first characters by DEFAULT... and AR* is registered. So choose another from the ones that are not found here in that table.

@Angel, will try.

In addition to what Jarno said, also keep in mind that the max letter count of IE files is 8, and for areas it's 6 (because of the light map, search map, and height map which have LM/SR/HT in their names by default).

I might make mods and would like to have the EE prefix for Endarire Elward.  i saw it registered about 12 years ago to Emzeror.  Google searching revealed Emzeror was only involved as a tester on the Nathaniel NPC mod and seemingly never made any other projects.  Searching G3 and SHS revealed he barely posted anything.  May I use this EE prefix?

Thankee!

And it succeeded.

Funny thing, my prefix is not on the list. It's L# and while I used project prefixes before (they are listed), I try to stick to this one for all my new mods, whenever it's possible. Yes, I noticed that it was once reserved by LeutianBG, but he's a modder from 2004, if I understand it correctly, and I am even unsure if that prefix was ever used... so yeah, there is a conflict "on the paper", but I suppose we should both be listed under L# so people are not confused once they see it somewhere in their game directory.

Cheers!

Just to remind everyone: the list is still maintained over at BWL, so it'd be better to post your requests in that topic rather than this one.

@Mike1072
I'm registered on Blackwyrm Lair as of weeks or months ago, but can't post anything.  How to fix?

Thankee!

Hmm, to me, a registered user, this is easy, you just click the link above, the forum one, not the list... wait the 10 seconds the link goes to do the promotion, open the link in it to get to the topic, then just click the "addreply" -picture at the pages lower right corner and then the usual forum things.

There's no fast reply window at the bottom of the topic.

Just reminding myself to check my email for registration confirmation that was supposed to arrive so I can register my prefix F4.
