Here are tracks right now (I'm listing 1 track per scenery):
A1-StuntPark
C1-Hairpins
D1-Dunes
E1-Lakes
F1-Slippery
G1-Long
H1-Minerals
I2-Sandy
J1-Curly
L1-AlienBase
M2-Bumps
N2-Surreal
O2-Mouse
P1-StoneQuarry
R1-Mars
S2-Frenzy
T1-Autumn
V1-Dark
W1-Cross
X1-Magic
Y1-CrystalMoon
After renaming would look like so:
Aln1-AlienBase
Atm1-Autumn
Aus1-StuntPark
Can1-Hairpins
Cry1-CrystalMoon
Des1-Dunes
Fin1-Lakes
For1-Slippery
Grc1-Long
Isl2-Sandy
Jng1-Curly
Mos2-Mouse
Mrs1-Mars
Mud2-Bumps
Oth2-Surreal
Sav2-Frenzy
Spc1-Minerals
Stn1-StoneQuarry
Uni1-Magic
Vlc1-Dark
Wnt1-Cross
As of now only letters left (for new sceneries) are: B,K,Q,U, rest is taken, well actually only K.
Those are so bad that no new scenery can start with such letter, but that already happened long ago (that 1 letter can't be the 1st letter from scenery name).
So next step for me, are those 3 letter prefixes. I admit, I'm a fan of 3 letter shortcuts, evth could be 3 or 4 letters short .
This will require renaming all tracks.
Also keep in mind that this will need a wider tracks list (or smaller font?). And some code changes (e.g. coloring from scenery name) plus backwards compatibility for loading older replays, right?
Other options, which I don't like are:
- putting full scenery name and dropping number, worst thing, won't happen
- putting full scenery name e.g. Desert1-Dunes, is for me rather too long
Other options, which I may consider, but don't sound too great:
- using 2 letters, only for new (or few) sceneries, e.g. AT1-Autumn
- using 2 letters for all, e.g. AU1-StuntPark, JG1-Curly, sounds rather stupid
- using 3 letters and sometimes 4, e.g. Mars1-Mars (heh), Moss1-Mouse, Volc1-Dark
Or just post if you got even a different one.
