Using: A 'Workshop' Folder

The reasoning behind this is that you will need access to a lot of different files throughout the course of making maps, I use a seperate folder with everything I could possibly need at my fingertip. The reason I have half of them numbered is just for listing purposes, you get used to the positions easier for faster access if they dont change. I have three of these folders, one for HW, one for HW:C and one for the B5 Mod. This is an invaluable idea, very handy.

Backgrounds

Contains all the backgrounds from the web, as well as all the extracted ones from HW and HW:C.

Dist Files

All the Dist Files from the Cataclysm map: Tutorial8. Found them very handy to have around.

Quick Ref Files

All the Object Lists and Quick Reference Files in easy Reach.

Quick Ref Maps

A copy of pretty much every map from the Multiplayer folder. Much safer to fool around with these when making changes as I have found to my cost before. Very handy if you are looking for information on how to achieve certain things when you have seen it done before.

Revelations

The currant map being worked on!

HW Multiplayer

A shortcut to the ../sierra/Homeworld/Multiplayer folder

HW Primer

A Shortcut to the primer!

HWmap_readme.txt

The reference file I use when adding the finishing touches to a map.

Of Course, this is just my folder, I am just suggesting something like this is worth it in the long run and you should really think about doing something on the same lines, as during the course of making a map you can easily require access to dozens of different files..
