allow colon: used in prototpye name

Post by meifray »

in current naming scheme,all name is separated using dash"-" including prefixing names
by add colon as usable character in naming,it might suggest mod maker using colon to separate name space or even subtype using this character.

for example I would like to make another merging chest mod for brick chest, then I might using something like
another-merging-chest-brick-chest-1x10
by add colon it will be like
another-merging-chest:brick-chest:1x10
