TG Mission Creation Standards *README*

**Shiner** · 08-07-2007, 09:07 AM

One of my goals in assisting the TG community to produce the finest quality of ArmA missions available is to establish a set of community developed standards. These standards are certainly voluntary, but I think a little investment from each mission creator to adhere will help improve the quality and marketability of TG's in-house missions. We are also looking in the future to develop and distribute TG mission packs and will want the submissions to be as uniform as possible.

I am requesting that we adopt the following subject to your feedback:

File Naming Conventions:
(TGMissionTypeSize)_MissionName_version.Sara.pbo || (TGTvT48)_Domination_v01a.Sara || (TGCo11)_SniperHunt_v1-1.Sara

Mission Naming Conventions:
(TG-MissionType-Size) MissionName by Author || (TG-TvT-48) Domination v01a by |TG|Shiner || (TG-Co-11) SniperHunt by SniperH

TG Intro: A short 5-10 second low-overhead scripted intro similar to evolution. I have posted the initial scripted intro and a request for submissions here.

Briefing Notes (anywhere):

Code:

This mission was developed by XYZ who is a member of the TacticalGamer.com community.  TacticalGamer is the PREMIERE online community for mature gamers.  Visit www.tacticalgamer.com for more information and for access to our servers.

Mission Description: Please create a paragraph or more mission description in a text file (description.txt) in the root folder of you mission. This might explain the "actors", the "setting", "story" or the "objectives". This description might ultimately be used to populate a mission hosting reference database, so think what you would want to be posted that would get other players interested in your mission.

Will do, btw I understood from the BAS f manual that points in version numbers in filenames are best avoided (something to do with being able to read only one point in a filename or something). I use - so for instance 0-1-6.

Good point Taxi, I have removed the period from my example above. No need to change how you version your files either, those dashes are fine.
