Talk:VMF
oooohhhhh dibs on filling out this one... now wheres that file I had detailing all the information and structure of .vmf that I discovered and wrote...
What does VMF stand for? File or Format?
I thought VMF stands for Valve Map File. Whats right? --King2500 07:34, 8 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- Jeff Lane can probably clarify but I believe it is format as file would be redundant. --wisemx 08:55, 8 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- How is it called in Hammer's open-file dialog? --King2500 09:41, 8 Sep 2005 (PDT)
- File open is Valve Map Files (*.vmf), which they are, however that doesn't clarify it.
- You're still opening Valve map files no matter what the "f" stands for.
- Opening Valve Map Format files. vs. Opening Valve Map Files files. --wisemx 10:28, 8 Sep 2005 (PDT)
Okay, I'm nearly at the stage I'm going to upload my information, its more a Technical file rather than a Glossary defenition So I will be placing it there. After I'm done I'm going to re-rite this and link to there. --Angry Beaver
This still hasn't been resolved. Angry Beaver originally wrote the VMF documentation article, claiming that VMF stands for Valve Map Format. ts2do made the change to the VMF article, claiming the VMF instead stands for Valve Map File. Is there any more evidence for either case? I heard that you can look into the .h files of some file types, and find the acronym explained there. That would help greatly. (Note that VTF stands for Valve Texture File, so it's definitely possible that that is the case.) --Andreasen 02:24, 7 Sep 2007 (PDT)
