File Naming Conventions

All filenames should follow the naming conventions described below.

General Rules

• No spaces in the file name are allowed
• No capital letters are allowed
• XML, JSON, PNG, PMD, PSA and DDS files should use these rules. For any file-formats not specially mentioned here, follow similar naming rules to fit the file type.
• If using numbers always use two digits. Example: 01, not 1
• Use underscore ( _ ) to separate portions of the file name
• Use this order <general>_<civ>_<type>_<extra>_<variation>
• If the folder path to the file already defines one portion of the name, exclude that from the file name.

Examples:

• celt_isw_a_01.dds – Meaning: Advanced Celtic Infantry Swordsman, Variation 01 Texture
• kart_hc.pmd – Meaning: Carthaginian Health Center Model
