Questions about Random Map Scripting

The syntax for a random map is confusing, and i have only been gone for like a month

If you have any questions, please ask them here. lets try and make a more complete list of cetain confusing things about the rms syntax. for me, this is a refresher.

this thread has no answers, only questions! haha.

I don’t want to spam discord, and i always forget some of these things anyway

• What characters are allowed in the filename?
• What characters are allowed in a random map script
• What happens when undefined characters are used? For example, some people use // to comment inline. sometimes you can just write anything at the end of a line and it will be fine if it was undefined. sometimes something breaks, which can result in unexpected behavior.
• limit on create_this calls. i believe ots 99 for each section, ie 99 create land, 99 create terrain, 99 create object, and id assume the pattern holds true for others. although i could be wrong (connections, player lands)

safe syntax probably deserves its own faq
