The naming convention for areas for tag and resref that match are <2 letter area><2 digit level><unique_name>.

Example:

2 Digit name is from the following list

For areas that correspond to the map grid areas, the area corresponding to that grid would be tagged and resfefed as the grid name:

av64

If there is a cave underneath the areas, it would be named as such:

av64u01cavename

A second level down would be

av64u02cavename

if there was a building in the areas with an interior and it's not near a town, use:

av64_00buildingname

<2 digit level> is generally 00 unless it is a building or dungeon with multiple levels. In that case it starts at 01 For example, Nether Mountains: Tombs of Deckon Thar Levels 1-3 would be like this:

nm01deckonthar nm02deckonthar nm03deckonthar

All doors are listed in the CUSTOM Palette → Universal for doors. They have been pre-setup as to make building easy. The one thing that must be changed and adhered to as far as naming convention goes is this:

Under the Basic tab there is a section called Name and Tag. You need to change Tag to match the following:

For example:

If the location being transferred to is named as such, we can always have a uniform method of knowing which areas go to which areas.

If you are using a Trigger/Waypoint combination as you would use for outdoor area transitions. The Waypoint tag should match the trigger except for the at_ and wp_.

For conversations the following categories have been implemented and should be named as such beginning with c(x)_ to denote Conversation files:

For creatures you should use the first three lines of the category heading preceded by an m, n, or s to denote a Monster, NPC, or Special respectively. There should be 4 letters in the first section of this naming standard. If the sub-category has two words the first letter of each word should be used and only three letters will be used in this case of the naming standard.

All doors are listed in the CUSTOM Palette → Universal for doors. They have been pre-setup as to make building easy. They include necessary scripts and have saves adjusted according to the DMG. For decorative doors (PC's shouldn't be able to open them), make sure they are locked and need a specific key with the tag of that key left blank so that they cannot be opened except by a DM. For doors that are not being used in transitions, their tags have been named d_<material type abbreviation>_<unique_name>

For standard trigger based encounters simply use the first letter of the category name beginning with e(x)_ to denote Encounter files, if two words then first letter of both, followed by the unique name. Tag and resref Must match. Name should be <creature types> <lowest level> - <max level> (<Respawn Rate>)

Tags should be of the form <encounter difficulty>_<creature types>_<lowest level>_<max level>, where the prefix is listed below:

Example:

Start by using the first letter of items category then the first two letters of the sub-category. If two item sub-categories have the same second letter use the third letter, or if they it is a two word sub-category use the first two letters of each word. After this use the unique name of the item abbreviate as needed.

Merchants need to be placed on the palette with a description noting the location of the merchant for easy updating. We don't want to have to go hunting for every merchant to update.

For custom merchants, name the tag and resref with the following: m_<unique name>

For scripts the following categories have been implemented and should be used to determine the type of script and the naming standard beginning with s(x)_ to denote Script files.
