Naming conventions
From #openttdcoop wiki
Our networks are really complex and playing together with a lot of people needs a good communication. The coop-players created some special naming conventions, keeping the communication as simple as possible. It is a need to know these conventions to get an idea of the way coop-players play. Mostly they are used to find a special station or hub via the sign- or station list.
- Slh x / creator name
- Sideline Hub Number and its Creator
- Used to mark the Slh's, all know who built the hub and via Signlist the Slh can be found very fast/easy
- Do not forget to write 1 - 9 as 01 -09, otherwise they are not ordered correctly in the signlist.
- example: Slh 01 / Brianetta
- Bbh x / creator name
- Hub Number and its Creator
- Used to mark the Hub's, all know who built the hub and via Signlist the Slh can be found very fast/easy
- Do not forget to write 1 - 9 as 01 -09, otherwise they are not ordered correctly in the signlist.
