teh_saccade 233 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Didn't see it in bugtracker...I'm not digging through forums to find evidence of naming conventions being dismissed for x reasons... What a waste of time.The way missions are named and how they are named are two different things. Ok. Pretty sure this was brought up in early 2016, that it didn't require renaming all the individual missions to reorder the list - think it was forum mod and not coder who replied, though - so probably you are right that it was not "dismissed" by the "right" person. Alex: I like people changing stuff and kicking stuff so it works better. The more noise and swearing, the faster, the better. Nit-picking over semantics, on the other hand...(sounds like you gotta clean your kitchen more often, mate, gross ). I'm still for mappers making use of the campaign function available for nested campaigns, but... oh... most apparently don't know about / implement it because it's in the RTFI wiki section.

Springheel 4630 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 The way missions are named and how they are named are two different things. Ok. What I said was that the way missions are named and the order they are put in are two different things.

nbohr1more 2094 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yes, the patch is the perfect resolution as I can tell. The sort ignores "The", "A", etc prefixes while keeping the list alphabetical otherwise and thefunny "Parcel, The" display convention is replaced by the much more aesthetically pleasing "The Parcel". 3 Quote Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod: http://www.indiedb.com/mods/the-dark-mod (Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

rich_is_bored 281 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Just curious but how's this work with other languages? I assume missions have English names regardless? Quote ModWiki Link to post Share on other sites
wesp5 312 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Pretty sure this was brought up in early 2016, that it didn't require renaming all the individual missions to reorder the list - think it was forum mod and not coder who replied, though - so probably you are right that it was not "dismissed" by the "right" person.It was probably me who brought it up again and again, because I'm known to be stubborn . I even made my own patch to fix naming issues in the internal mission list, but I couldn't fix the ordering because this needs a recompilation of TDM, so I'm thankful that Alex did this and hope it will end up in the next TDM version! But if indeed the show-and-sort-missions-differently method is choosen, then the web mission list order should be adjusted because that does the simple alphabetical sorting. @Springheel: According to the web mission list there are only 4 "A" missions, probably because some of the others are part of series which start differently. Speaking of which would these use the same show-and-sort-missions-differently method as the main missions or keep the simple scheme? I see some inconsistency coming up...

AlexDiru 20 Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 then the web mission list order should be adjusted because that does the simple alphabetical sorting. The proposed fix I have does both in the same way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
esme 149 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I prefer "A mission" style listings to "mission, A", sorted including the "A", but if that's not an option it would be nice if both listings matched Edited July 31, 2017 by esme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbohr1more 2094 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I applied this fix in SVN. I previously suggested that we add playlist functionality so that groups of missions can be created or mapperscan supply their own playlists (as an alternative to the campaign process). Up for the challenge? Quote Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod: http://www.indiedb.com/mods/the-dark-mod (Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

NeonsStyle 572 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think it should be fixed, either in the downloader or the mission Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.

Abusimplea 168 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think it should be fixed, either in the downloader or the missionIf i understand nbohr1more correctly, the fix has been applied to the version in development. I would expect it to be contained in the next official release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would expect it to be contained in the next official release. True, given that it gets through the beta period. For this type of change, which doesn't affect existing mission gameplay, beta testing should be trivial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Voted - I also think it should be changed and ignore the "A".
