Post by: justinrpg on March 09, 2011, 10:44:05 AM
will it mess things up in the game if two SC4LOTS have the same file name if i rename the other to something like example.sc4lot to example2.sc4lot (or with other SC4 file types) will it still work in the game??

As far as I know, you should be all right.

The game doesn't care about filenames.  It uses the TGI to identify unique items.  If these lots share the same TGI, the last one loaded will be the only one the game uses.

For most lot files, the last part of the TGI is at the end of the filename.  Otherwise, you can use the Reader to check.

You can't have two files with the same name exist in the same folder regardless.

That is true! I guess I should have thought of that.   ;D
