Code IMPORTANT: Package naming

[Moz]

http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Package_Naming

I managed to make this mistake and I now have to completely rebuild all my packages because all the data is mixed around. (I was wondering why my static mesh, texture, and animation packages were all exactly the same size and kept deleting objects

Yeah.. this actually applies to alot more then just coding however.. don't name your staticmesh package the same as your level, as your texture package..
this is the reason you'll see the offical Ostfront packages named things like OdessaT or OdessaSM (for texture and static mesh respectively).

It's a good naming convention to use.

Me personally, when doing things like creating texture/mesh packages, I try and ensure they will not have a common name.. you don't want to have stuff like BuildingStuff.utx when someone else might come along and unknowingly use the same name.. so I use something like DraxBuildingStuff1.utx etc..


edit: added in a NOT where there should be one..

its also good practice (to community members) to tact your name on front.

All my packages have the prefix Moz- so I always know what are mine and what are not.
