Anyone else want to share how they name there image files? If you end up with several thousand images for a large game, setting up a good filing system is a must, or you will get lost in a sea of images.
I agree.
I find using directories (and lots of them) a good solution to this problem rather than long filenames.
For example, why have a file called :
C:\mygame\data\actors\Lagoon_path_01_font
When I could have :
C:\mygame\data\actors\roger\lagoon\north01
(You could even go further and have another subdirectory called 'north' and then have frame01, frame02, etc etc, but that might be getting a bit too pedantic.
I reckon that's the easiest way to keep track of things. Categorize as much as possible!
Sure you have to go on and create all those subdirectories (or subfolders as people call them these days) but later on when you have hundreds (thousands even?) of images, you will find navigating them a breeze.
