maybe use a merger of both tags.

#135 // ja2 elliott

in such a manner for identification, where the former defines the relevant external data and the latter gives additional info of some sort (and whatever else you want to achieve)



*edit*

the reason i make such a fuss about it is not only in modmaker convenience. Much rather do i think that if we want to break up the dependencies between the ja2.exe, prof.dat and other files, sooner or later, prof.dat itself will have to be broken down into different parts (just physicly, as different files, there could still be one editor tool editing all of it at a time)

This is also something that was discussed as a necessity in case a virtualized file system was to be established (there were a couple of dicussions about this in the past)

even if it's only a tiny fraction of the problems emerging from such ideas, a workable file terminology will be imperative given the loads of data currently stored in prof.dat

From the VFS point of view, the more single files, the better.
So in case somebody would want to go for an VFS or something like that in the long run, the way how all the new files would be organised and named would matter.
so in that respect, your early decisions in that respect might be very relevant for such future ideas.

now i don't know if that's any topical, but i guess it wouldn't be wrong to keep it in mind. At least i don't want to obstruct such future developments, thus the big fuss about this side-issue.
