Here it is:

Support on that goes back to EP1, so if your changes can be done with lump
files, you might consider that. I guess the problem with that is if someone
else decides to use the same method on the same map, the naming convention
used will end up being a problem.
On the other hand, if it works like .BSP files in that if one already exists
with the same name, the client will get an error about mismatched files,
then as long as you get your .LMP to the client before anyone else you have
nothing to worry about. :)
