Before we do start we need a global layout. I recommend we do it excel because if we ever want to make a copy of it to html format than i don't fancy the job of copy and pasting around a million words to a html document. The spreadsheet currently has colums including filename, Size, Description, Format, Keyword we may want to add more colums as we start. The keyword colum could be useful if we import it into a database because we can do a lookup say on "refinery" and it will search all the entries with refinery. Also the size is in bytes and is a number so 1 Megabyte is 1000000 . If there is a sound file and there is talking in it then i would use speechmarks around the text.

I know this is mammoth task to do but over time we can make a good database of files.

Heh when I made BlazeRotate 1.0 and 2.0, I painstakingly renamed like a hundred of the wav files to Origname-Transcribed.wav. In other words m00asdfjkladfdf_snd.wav to m00asdfjkladfdf_snd-NodCommunicationsCenterUnderAttack.wav

It wasn't fun but I had to do it to keep track of what was what Smile

Filename, size and format could be auto-generated.

omg, not to big a task.........

I might be able to help if you are being serious but this is one hell of a job and i stess Exclamation ONE HELL OF A JOB Exclamation there are thousands and thousands of files in always.dat as i am sure you know if you are doing it then you should get people to do little sections like A-f .tga's, or G-K .wav, i will help on a few sections.

And also i think about making a template to send out to everyone doing it so that we all put together the same data in the same way.

E-mail me a chett2001@hotmail.com

But i am busy at the moment so my help will be limited.

um u dont get us Smile we want a index of what the files belong to. for example there are a lot of files with weird names like m00_en9879789dkjf_blablabla.wav and theres no idea what they mean. So its kinda hard to edit stuff when u have to test each file until u find the right one. Who would have thought sam_site.wave (something like that Razz) would have been the sound for the mamoth rocket unless u accidently played it and heard the sound Smile
