One object type per file?

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)

Parsing changes

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)

Links to related pages

I might add a "files" disambiguation page and add this to it. There are also a lot of pages on specific raw files and raw file usage that could be linked to from this page. It's a shame to have them tucked away and hard to find when they are often very informative and useful references from the wiki. Alpacalypse (talk) 16:16, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
