Yes and no. The naming for stuff like that is fine to place _verite at the end; as it is not the BASE item. The BASE item should be strictly named. As I showed you before; I strict name and then do the addon's after. Again it comes into the way the polls setup right now. there is too many variants used. Then we get to cleaver... i_cleaver. Then i_cleaver_war? Yet what if I want i_cleaver to have a war version? Simply slapping i_sword in front of cleaver_war goes against the naming conventions. This is where I will never agree with you and others. war cleaver (war is not the descriptor). It is a War Cleaver. that is the BASEITEM name. What you add in the suffix to it in the definition is customized.

We don't have i_armor_leather in the basepacks since ever. We have always had i_leather_armor. So why is it you all make this exception with strict naming, but not with weapons, items, and NPCs? Armor is top of the class and get special privileges? I don't think so in my opinion.

Yet, with the above i_leather_armor example; this is all through sphere since pre 55i times. Some items get strict naming while others get what you all want. Mind you, only 5 of us think it should be STRICT (including me and another developer whom is a programmer as well). there is a reason for this. If I think I want a large battle axe... it is just as easy to add i_large_battle_axe. I know that is the name so the def should be the same. Now I want a war cleaver: i_war_cleaver Oh god it wont add. Lets try i_cleaver_war... darn it won't add. i_sword_war_cleaver?! But it is not called Sword War Cleaver or War Cleaver Sword.

This is what I am getting at. You all talk inheritance; but there isn't a single piece of logical inheritance with the war cleaver.. or elven machete... or any of those new weapons. STRICT naming makes more sense.

I will know in my custom scripts that i_war_cleaver that is verite will have verite suffixed. Because that is customary to suffix customization's to the baseitem. No matter how you slice; you aren't sticking true with what you are saying if you are slapping SWORD in front of war cleaver... or even adding MEAT to a normal cleaver... it is not called a meat clever.
