ZDoom

I have to say that all these filename shenanigans are not the solution to the problem - they only make things more confusing and prone to errors.
Fortunately the entire feature isn't needed - for smaller changes to the tiles a CRC check is sufficient but for anything else it may be better to rely on the file system's filtering feature which raze.pk3 makes extensive use of to allow putting resources for all games into a single container. With this, everything can be properly isolated from other game content, and it already supports all the official add ons, the specific filter directory for Vacation would be 'filter/duke.vacation', while also picking up everything from 'filter/duke', which is the common filter for all Duke content.

So unless a common name gets defined by all ports this is a 'not needed'.

Yes, I know, but that's annoying. To automate that you simply need to add one line to engine/grpinfo.txt, so I think that it would be a good idea to fix it. I would create a PR if I knew what the default def name should be.

If you were to create a PR, I'd have it as duke3d-<AddonNumber>.def. Then when calling 'raze.exe -addon 3', it'd pick up duke3d.def and duke3d-3.def.

I think I saw that before, but forgot about it. Anyhow – it's takes about 30 seconds to do that, so it's too late for me.

Duke 3D Megaton is hardcoded to pick that up. EDuke32 won't pick it up either. Call it with '-mh "<DEF file name.def>".

I stumbled upon this when I was throwing the widescreen weapon sprites from Megaton into a pk3: The other games' addons with incompatible tiles have a different defname, while Duke.Vacation uses the default “duke3d.def”.
