mapmaker list

Postby barterer2002 on Sat Sep 20, 2008 7:04 pm

Is there an easily accessable list of which mapmaker is responsible for which map? Some maps I can figure out looking at the map but with 100 maps that can get time consuming to do them all. Just wondering if there is a spot where they're all listed.

if you look on the Map Contribution medal list, (clicky), it shows who made a map, if you click award details on someones profile, it contains details on which map the user made.

In addition, you can see current creators of maps by looking at the appropriate writeup in the http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=63145Foundry%20Newsletter.

Any mileage in adding the map creator(s) to the maps.xml in a new tag like <creator>?

(Could be used for additional map info amongst other things).

Or you could just look in Final Forge, although some maps are made by multiple people.

I'm assuming a tag(s) like that could help with scripts, info dumps, etc? In that case as I understand it, it wouldn't even have to be added per se, but just placed as a specifically formatted comment in the XML so that a script could identify it and grep it?

Edit: Query specifically made in relation to chipv's comment.

XML tag for creator, i like it.

Easy map list of Cartographers / XML encoders would be great to, that way if you wanted to ask someone about helping on a map you would be able to get a idea of their style etc.

Something better could be:
    <creators>
      <creator>chipv</creator>
      <creator>yeti_c</creator>
    </creators>
So if there is more than one creator, it can be shown.

It should probabally go in the XML Modifications and Variations thread.
