Talk:Best Practices

S'orlok Reaves: We get a lot of suggestions on the mailing list (the doors one was the most recent) that seem to vanish into the infinity of the past. Perhaps whenever Bob/Mike/Ralph says "you should" or "you shouldn't" and "we can't change it" there should be an entry here. These 2 were the only ones I could think of offhand; please edit/remove/add as you see fit.

Remember: they're technical best practices. I know we already have a section for "how to make a game not suck".

The Mad Cacti: Well, the note about doors was on bugzilla, actually. But any old and closed bugs there are pretty much lost; this could be a useful page. Why does BAM music sound worse than MIDI music? is only relevant to the old DOS builds, now the totally different reason it sounds worse is that BAMs aren't played the way they were intended to (I don't know if we have a better article to link to).

S'orlok Reaves: Ah, I see. Please fix as you see fit; I'm not really the optimal person to suggest Best Practices, as I just started using the OHR. Really, I just wanted to get the ball rolling.
