Re: [Supertuxkart-devel] Directory Structure

[<coz...@gm...>]

Hi,

from my side, I just want to solve the current issues.

I vote for just renaming them to translations.


> STK/src/tools  # not sure where to put this, might be STK/tools ?

I don't have a STK/src/tools, directory but a STK/tools directory :S

I vote for putting it at $HOME/.supertuxkart

Renaming oggs to music and wavs to sfx is a good idea. I think oggs
and mods can be put just fine if they were merged into music,
specially if the music for tracks is going to be removed from those
directories.

Do you some sort of date, where you are sure that the physics will be
good enough for a release? maybe early February?


Also, I don't think we should zip everything into the data directory.
I would rather want to leave the tracks and karts directories outside,
because those are directories that artists will be interested into and
because they will also have even more directories inside.

I would also create a directory called collectables, make directories
for each one, and put everything related to each one of them there,
similar to the karts and track directory.

Having config (I would rename it to 'misc' since not all the files
that would be there would be configurations), fonts, models(thought
really, we wouldn't have any model here left now), music, sfx and
textures directories inside data/ seems fine to me.
