Picking a good name

Alright

I want to minimize a user's setup when he tries to use the gamemode for himself, so nothing extreme like manually setting a pretty map name or stuff like that

There are, I think, 3 broad categories that a given map can fall into:

1. Known prefix
2. Unknown prefix
3. Unknown format

ttt_ is a known prefix

33m2_ is an unknown prefix

c_23_central_night is an unknown format

If I were doing this myself, I would create a map of common known prefixes and set up logic to nicely handle those

Then, if a map doesn't have a known prefix, check if there are only a few characters at the beginning of the name before the first _, and if there are only a few characters, assume that's a prefix and remove it

However, if a map name has a lot of _ or - or numbers/symbols in it, it's probably in an unknown format that you aren't going to be able to figure out a nice, clean format for by guessing programmatically

In that last case, I would just leave the map name as-is under the assumption that anything you do to try to "Fix" it is going to instead make it harder to read

Right

This sounds much better than my previous approach of find + sub | trim if <= 3 chars

Thank you for the advice, i'll see what I can do with this

No problem! I hope whatever solution you come up with works out

Be sure to show it off if it works out!
