mapname ac_arabic already taken?

[Duckett]

is there already a map named ac_arabic?

[Andrez]

No.

[Duckett]

or that title, thank gosh cause I'm in the middle of making a map with that name

[Viper]

No, but these a very good map by jiba called ac_arabian that you wouldn't want to get it mixed up with.

[Duckett]

I know ac_arabian I love that place. But ac_arabic is going to have some qualities that ac_arabian doesn't obviously but the theme is the same.

[Andrez]

A little suggestion that could help for your maps titles... Just open Google and search for "mapnameyouwanttolookfor", quotation marks included. If the map already exists you'll certainly find something coming from here, Quadropolis, Akimbo, or some clan forum/website.

[Duckett]

cool Andrez, ty

[Ronald_Reagan]

Or try the search function up there ^^^ (very top, site search, not forum search) that is a very powerful search function. Searches everything in the cubers.net domain. (I believe)

What about Apollo Arabic Night??

[V-Man]

"apollo_arabicnight_1.5" is a bit different from "arabic".

[jAcKRoCk*]

* jAcKRoCk* is kinda sleepy

[Robtics]

why would it get called arabic and not arabicnight? :D Good luck with your map Elven!

[flowtron]

Actually - the "ac_"-prefix is mostly legacy (tradition) and related largely to old-school quadropolis paradigms. I'd simply suggest you prefix your maps with your mnemonic/moniker .. so I'd call my maps "ft_*" .. that way even the most common mapnames will probably not clash.
Also - you can simply try searching on quadropolis or akimbo for these names, since the only true claim to have on a mapname would be by having published it first.

* MykeGregory wonders why the text is still red.

why do all the maps have to have AC_ before them...?

[Lantry]

You don't.

Thanks for the help guys/gals (if there are any)

[titiPT]

IMO arabic and arabian sound too alike.

[a_slow_old_man]

how about ac_afghan or ac_oriental or maybe even ac_barrens

[Duckett]

hmm I like ac_afghan

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the dog...
