One object type per file?[edit]
iirc I seen this mentioned on the forums, if so can someone please make note of it on the page, to avoid confusion of people using multiple objects per file. --Jan (talk) 11:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- I might be misunderstanding you, but you can definitely have more than one object defined per file, and I'm pretty certain this is universally true. I can't think of any file that doesn't have multiple objects defined in it. Alpacalypse (talk) 16:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Parsing changes[edit]
It seems that filenames are no longer irrelevant. In my test it appears that filename must start with object name:
Filename : <Object-name>-whatever-you-want-.txt
With each raw file beginning with same file name and presumably followed by the same [OBJECT:<Object-name>] (I haven't tested the last) --Jan (talk) 18:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
