Step 5: Credit Original Creator

Give Credit where Credit is Due. When you take a TS2 mesh that someone else made and convert it to TS3, remember to put their creator's name in your package name. That way there will never be any confusion over who made what. Yes, you are doing a lot of work to convert TS2 objects to TS3, but they made the original item and should be remembered for what they contributed to the game.

I recommend using the following naming convention for converted items. You can rearrange them to suit your own creator style, but I think your package names should have the following elements.

(your creator name)_(what this is)_(TS2 creator's name)_(name of your object).package

Example:

porkypine_TS3-conversion_of-Macarossi_DragonTree.package

I know that in English there should be an apostrophe s (porkypine's or Macarossi's) to denote the possessive but I recommend not using them in file names.
