Talk: Yesman

Name

This article is using the wrong name. "Hartmannvehicle" is the internal filename for Haltmann's Executive Suit / boss model (similarly, Susie's is "Susievehicle"). The real name for it is under "Yesman" in the "content0.game/romfs/gfx/Step/Enemy" list. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:19, April 6, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. My source on TSR must've been wrong. Do you know what Susie's explosive drones are called? NerdyBoutKirby Meh meh meh! 18:32, April 6, 2018 (UTC)

This one? The game refers to it as "Dolly", and it's also present in Hartmannvehicle's Weapon files. By the way, when other English sources aren't available, do the wiki articles prioritize filename or foreign-derived names? LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:35, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

Internal names seem to be preferred over foreign-derived names the Wiki. Paul2 The dorky isocahedron returns. 16:40, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

I was asking about these. They seem to be called "Dolly" as well. As for prioritization, many internal names can be argued to be the localized one. In this case, "Yesman" is clearly a pun on the English term yes-man, suggesting that the localization team renamed the file, or the Japanese team named it using English.

That explains why there is a "Dolly" in two different directories; the one you were thinking of is the one in the Enemy list, and the one I thought of was one of Haltmann's weapons. (I also don't believe the localization team has anything to do with the developers' internal file system - though the Squeak Squad stickers are labeled "Daroach" instead of Dorocche or Doroche, so I suppose it's possible.)
