unknown objects question

[digdug]

I'm just trying to understand how the unknown items works, and I have a couple of questions.

Why the virtual unknown ammo box is listed after the ammo boxes, even if there is a note that says "NOTE: These items must be listed first " referring to the unknown items ?

Also is there a reason for the alien unknown virtual items and roms to be "it" like itUnknownHaloGem instead the ammo boxes are "vt" as vtUnknownAmmoBox ?

Thanks for your help.

The note about listing unknown items first is obsolete. It used to be true but now you can list unknown items anywhere (before or after).

There is not (good) reason why some items start with "it" instead of "vt"--it's just a convention that I honor inconsistently.

Thanks for the explanation George.
