Tagging for map names

So I've lately been downloading more jump maps than I can remember/recognize. It's not a big deal, but I'm wondering if anyone would consider tagging their maps (in the future, I'm not saying that we would retroactively tag everything). For example, elephant might be named as jump_elephant_soldier_easy. This is obviously a little awkward, but I think it would be useful to people looking through the server browser/voting on maps/paging through their console list of maps. Thoughts?

Eh well, we aren't really big with conformity. Everybody pretty much just does what he wants.

It would be easier to just adjust some sourcemod voting plugins to show difficulties besides the map names.

some maps cause problems online if their name is too long iirc

You get to a point where you'll be easily able to match each name with the map in your head pretty fast, I wouldn't bother with tags

What melon said. There are a couple lists of maps by difficulty if that would help. Or you could make a .cfg that echos all the easy jump maps in console, another for medium etc, that way you don't have to alt tab. You could make another one for a list of your favorites.

I didn't expect any conformity in it, just an idea that people could try using on their own maps if they wanted (I wouldn't expect tags to be convention/searchable, just that people would understand them when presented). I might do that echo thing, though.

seems kind of weird to have jump_jurf2_medium_a2 instead of just jump_jurf2_a2. gives it quite a long name. too long for me, at least. considering the output of jump maps is declining, it's going to be weird to have 90% have no difficulty tag and 10% that do
