Does anyone know how Renegade decides to organize maps in a mod.pkg. I know its not just randomly displaying them, because 11b is always at the top (it was 8b until I made 11b and so on). So does anyone know how to affect the order of the displayed maps?

not understanding your train of thought

when a mod package is made the maps are all included in the mod package, you have to create the server in order to play them and you would be required to put the maps into the map cycle list to play them in the order that you want to.

so logically thinking it should really matter. if you name the levels correctly so someone can understand what order to put them into you should have no problem.

but last i knew i thought it went by alphabeticle order...

Interesting, its obviously not alphanumerical... perhaps in the order they were last edited / saved in Level Edit?

this could be it because if they were *.mix files they would be alphabeticle.

I say just make them mix files. this way they will be alphabeticle.

Jason Knight, his is not a multi player mod, but a single player mod, therefor a server will not be involved.
Jerad, I'm still not sure why your not using .mix's

#1 Renhalo is both multiplayer and single player (multiplayer is harder).
#2 Mixes are two limited, unless you want 24 GBs of maps on your hard drive (as each mix would have to have all 1 GB of data in them). Also, temps are two limited, you can't added in even 1/10 of the number of presets you can in a normal preset directory.

I don't see why the total file size would be different, but yes, I forgot about your temp issues.

No offense, but to do that and this point would be madness, I would have to remake and delete thousands of presets.
This alone would probably put another year on the mod.
The Objects file is 7 MB alone.

Oh.

I agree otherwise with the maps being pkg for compatibility issues, and the fact he doesn't need to modify Rens strings for custom names, and bla bla else. If the person is going to be running a server dedicated to renhalo, they shouldn't care about other maps involved, so using a mix is useless.
Another thing is as a mix would require 101 mod folders in le, with duplicates of the same object presets tree files taking tonnes more space, and you cant update all of the object preset files in all the folders at once.
