For those who have lots of map images, and dont want to rename them manually to the new standard, here is a vbscript I made to do it automatically.

USE WITH CAUTION OTHERWISE YOU COULD RENAME ALL YOUR COMPUTER FILES

It goes recursively into folders, so make sure set the folder name in the last few lines correctly, pointing to a seperate folder with the images, and not the root of your computer.

I TAKE NO RESPOSIBILITY FOR THIS SCRIPT SCREWING UP YOUR COMPUTER - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Question, I have my images placed in F:\2k4images I created the vb script and placed it in my "F" directory with the folder path "list_files("2k4images")". upon running the script I get a popup window that says "done", but my images are not renamed. What am I doing wrong?

Try including the drive letter, list_files("F:\2k4images")

Same result with "list_files("F:\2k4images")" Rich, "Done" pops up, but the file names remain unchanged.

Do they need to be on the main drive? Is there any other program I need to have installed maybe?

Ive re-written the code properly, so it also replaces more than just spaces to match what lgsl v4 expects.

Give it ago

Weird...I went back to the folder and they seem to be renamed! Uploading now to test.

Ah, its trying to rename a map, but there is already a file with that name.

Have updated the script to check the name does not already exists.

It may have only got halfway through the list, so run the new version again to make sure they have all been renamed.
