#30 Keep car development files out of releases
To reduce download size, development files (.SVG, .BLEND, .ASE and possibly others) for cars and textures should not be included in releases.
This can be done by:
1. moving them to a folder that is not packaged
2. creating packaging scripts which exclude the art development files.
3. move them to a new repo
Many game projects create separate repositories for art asset sources but I believe trigger is not at all huge enough for this yet.
I would prefer excluding the files during packaging, to avoid having to edit paths in the blend files and updating them.
I think the .ase files can be deleted.
Ticket created in reaction to issue pointed out in https://sourceforge.net/p/trigger-rally/discussion/527953/thread/e84721b6/ :
As for not changing the cars: remember that now we are free to rename all vehicle folders and the game will still load the cars correctly. You can finally rename "focus" to "fox" for example. And I also suggest that we clean all unneeded files (.SVG, .BLEND, .ASE and possibly others) and move them to a developer addon folder, if they're useful.
I wonder what to do with my .xcf and .svg files I generated during map development. They can be used to more conveniently edit some aspects but they are not sufficent to alter everything since they are only the last steps of a somewhat complicated process.
Any development files that data authors wish to redistribute are to be moved to the devkit folder, located at:
