DOF for EM tables

[Spektre]

How did the mappings (naming conventions)  in the DOF config tool come into being for EM tables?  Did Arngrim contact the original table authors to get the table scripts updated?   Did table authors contact Arngrim and thus the mappings were first come first served?  Did Arngrim edit all the tables?  If so, which version?

If someone were to desire to reauthor an EM table, how could you ensure compliance with the mappings already in the DOF config tool?  Is there a key?

I don't know all the details. But, your correct. The EM' are given a gamename and if you are to re-make it. You need to use the already assigned name from the old table if you expect DOF to work. A good read is to actually read those articles Arngrim has in his tag-line over at VPF.

Thanks Thalamus,

It's not the game name I am concerned about so much as the in game events.  There are labels for the various events and if you want them to be compatible with the DOF entries, you'd need to make your event labels the same.
