There is actually iirc. Since the vxp files are basically just zip archives you can edit the internal information so it matches.

The .cfg file in the vxp has fields for name, author, original author, type, content, date and generator, but not shortname...

Nothing is sacred anymore.

I will shortname all of my created expansions as "dimaleon2000_name.vxp".

Old Rivers · 09-09-2014, 03:32 PM

DimaLeon · 09-12-2014, 10:48 AM

Damn it! So that's why my favorite creators' names ("costoons" and "hof") are at the beginning of their expansion filenames...

I'm SO rejected!
