Map Name Formatting

Paddy

Currently the standard formatting for a map name is to type the game mode followed by the map name with underscores or dashes between each word. By changing this format to remove underscores and detach the game mode from the map title in loading screens and menus, it would make momentum mod have a much more polished look.

Maps could have a "Display Name" if we want as well? That way the file name is the underscores but we could use the display name for UI? Searching could use both so you don't have to pick which one to know maybe?

Gocnak this could also a way to visually remove suffixes from maps so that mappers can still version their maps while keeping the map browser clean.

Gocnak Yes.

It is something that's interesting, say for multiple gamemodes on the one map, the 'display name' could be just generated, and the file stored would just be (some_thing vs surf_some_thing)?

I don't really see a downside, it just would seem weird at first since everything source has that underscore naming convention

Might be a hot take here but I prefer the underscore in map name. Say mode_map_name_v2_fix, I would still like to see the name as map_name instead of "map name"

zer0k_z i'm not sure if this is a gamemode thing but there really aren't very many maps that have multiple names that aren't just extra suffixes that can be removed (version number, _zip, _ksf, _tmps, etc). in the cases where they do matter (something like jump_frost and jump_frost_redo comes to mind, two distinct maps) it doesn't really matter whether they use underscores or not. the majority of maps are going to be just one word anyways.
