Comment (by mrprmiller):
I'm reading through this thread, and I think there's some confusion.
Playing through ScummVM and leaving the expected prefix for imports into
QFG2 as "qfg2adgi" doesn't fit the established formula. For the sake of
the end-user of Quest for Glory games, it should be consistent.
QFG1 doesn't have imports, but exports as QFG1-*
QFG2EGA ONLY accepts QFG1-* as import, but exports as QFG2EGA-*
QFG3 ONLY accepts QFG2-* as import, but exports as QFG3-*
QFG4 ONLY accepts QFG3-* as import, but exports as QFG4-*
What is being suggested, unless I'm missing something, is a change to the
way every other game in the series works. **''QFG2AGDI accepts QFG2AGDI-*
as import, and then exports as QFG2AGDI-*''**.
One of these things is not like the others, and is going to cause
confusion to end-users going through the game. The import/export system
isn't just a small part of the system - it is a major part of the QFG
experience.
Since QFG2EGA **ONLY** accepts QFG1 imports, it makes sense to set
QFG2AGDI to also accept QFG1 since it **ONLY** accepts those imports.
The parallel is QFG1EGA and QFG1VGA - they both export correctly as QFG1
to make sure the players don't have to do any renaming to make it work.
