Map list in game seems unsorted
« on: September 17, 2006, 03:08:46 PM »
Why are my maps all out of order?  They are all in order in the maps file, but it takes me forever to find the map I want in-game.  (I have a ton of maps)

Could be that the file names of the map are not exactly the same as the names of the maps.

The order goes by the .bsp of the map. So say you wanted like airtime it would be airtime.bsp

but yeah. I think thats why

I think it goes by whatever order the maps directory was sorted in.  Try opening up your pball/maps directory, right click, and arrange by name.

yeah I did sort the maps file a couple times, but it still mixes a lot of them up.  even if they were .bsp wouldn't it still go by the first letter?

some maps are named different in bsp than ingame for example jump.bsp is known as kriss-kross ingame. that may be the problem but im no expert

maybe; right now it's grouping them in two bigger groups with a lot of variation; something like this (by first letter):

aaaabbcbccbabddffiiggghhihhrsststsrrquwwwtsyy

and then it starts over at the p's or so:

i Always thought that the first few were organized alphabetically because they came with the game, and then all the ones after were in order of which you downloaded them in.
