Skyscraper: determining search name for game entry?

[sleve_mcdichael]

I am trying to scrape the port "Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny." Trying to figure out how to make it scrape with my preferred filename.

If I name the launch script Spear of Destiny.sh it scrapes just fine. But I don't want that, I want it called wolf-sd1.sh. Is this what aliasMap.csv is for?
I added the line:

wolf-sd1;Spear of Destiny

...but I'm still getting Game 'wolf-sd1' not found :( when I scrape. What am I doing wrong?

@sleve_mcdichael What source are you using? The aliasMap.csv is exactly meant for this purpose, but it only works for name-search based scraping modules such as thegamesdb, mobygames and igdb. It does not work with screenscraper as it is checksum and "exact filename" based, which is probably why it works with Spears of Destiny.sh since that is probably in their database.

Ah yeah, that's the one I was using. I'll work something else out then, thanks!
