In Response To: Re: Active Playlist Fileset Project (squidnh3) : Thanks much for this. I have a LAN party that I'll be "DJing" for : in a few weeks, and I was just last night going through and updating my : gametypes from FyreWulff's repository, but this additional resource should : allow me to round out my collection. : I can imagine one incredible difficulty of putting this together is the fact : that all of the capture the flag variants (i.e. default CTF 4v4 Objective : and default CTF 8v8 BTB) have the same name, so it's hard to tell them : apart in the gametype choice menu. Do you have any strategies for : combating this? I guess renaming them would work, but that's just : annoying. For prep for your LAN party: when you rename, just remember the duplicates stack bottom to top in the order you DL them. I'd start with a blank slate for Bungie authored gametypes in, say, Objective gametypes like CTF- just got rid of the old ones. Go through and queue up the all the gametypes in one playlist, go through one playlist fileset at a time. If for some reason you have duplicate filenames, the one on top is the one you most recently DL'd, so you know that's the one that came from the whichever the last playlist was you were downloading from; that's why you should go through one playlist at a time. Now you can rename it to, say, [2v2] or [4v4] oddball, without even having to look at the settings. Also, that "(space)[playlist prefix] gametype name" system works wonders for keeping everything near the top. In the next update, I will likely just be uploading my renamed versions so it's easier for all of you to keep things organized; you can trust that they're official settings and that I didn't mess with anything. It's just too much hassle to take everything down and reupload it now.
