Why _ as seperator between set/category and name?

The 2009 Mana project went dormant around 2014 and was revived in 2023; it currently develops a client implementation for TMW and potentially other games.

Why _ as seperator between set/category and name?

Post by Ablu »

Hi,

This always bugged me: Why do we use "_" as seperator in scripts that are based on the name. Like here: http://doc.manasource.org/scripting#get_special_info

I would suggest to use "/". It sounds more intuitive to me.

Regards,

I would prefer if specials and skills were forced to have unique names themselves, so that we don't need to prepend their category with arbitrary separators.
