Editing Talk:Raw file

== 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. --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 16:18, 9 March 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 <code>[OBJECT:<Object-name>]</code> (I haven't tested the last) --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 18:48, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
: AFAIK, this is correct. Might be worth making a distinction between object name/object type if mentioned on the wiki though. As technically, I think you are referring to the object type/category here; CREATURE:COW and CREATURE:DOG, could be construed as two creature "object" ''names'', but they could both be in the same ''vanilla_creatures/objects'' file.

== 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.

:I went ahead a made a "[[Template:V50_raws|Raws]]" navigation template. Too many individual files to list, so (currently red) links are directory names, grouped into similar categories. If nothing else, I thought it might make for a handy reference of all the raw file directories, whilst documenting raws on the wiki is still a WIP. Of note: there is also a [[:Category:Raws]] which needs a lot of work to be a useful, and up to date, reference to related pages. --[[User:Alpacalypse|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse|talk]]) 20:33, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
