SVN model folder structure: proposed minor change

[Bikerdude]

Currently the folder structure in DR is as follows -

 

- \models\darkmod\furniture\beds

- \models\darkmod\furniture\seating

- \models\darkmod\furniture\shelves

- \models\darkmod\furniture\tables

 

I would like to create -

 

- \models\darkmod\furniture\cabinates

 

And put my new version(with moving drawers) of 'cabinate01.low' in there along with all the other cabinates we have, as we are only going to get more of this model type created. @Spring if this is ok, did you want to convert the model from .ASE to .LWO?

'cabinate' -> 'cabinet'

We already have cabinets that aren't in a separate folder though, don't we? Won't that be confusing?

not in the mdoels folder, only in the prefabs folder.

I see at least half a dozen cabinet models:

 

models/darkmod/furniture/cabinet1.lwo

models/darkmod/furniture/cabinet_set01.lwo

etc.

 

And that doesn't count dressers, which are quite similar. While it probably would have been a good idea at the outset, I don't think it makes any sense to create a new folder at this point, as it will just cause confusion.

Ok, when I add my new cabinet model, its going to add another 7 files (main model and all its drawers) to the root of the furniture folder. So that amount plus the existing amount of cabinet models will be getting close to the amount of models in the other furniture sub folders.

It has 7 different drawer models?? We really should try to use a set of standard sizes so we only need a few that can be reused.

 

I was going to suggest a separate drawer folder, but there are already 2 drawers in the main furniture folder, so I don't see any other option.

 

Just make sure to name them in a way that they're grouped all together.

Cabinets aRe actually considered to be furniture in real life, if that's of any use.

• We really should try to use a set of standard sizes so we only need a few that can be reused.
  
• Just make sure to name them in a way that they're grouped all together.
  

• I did do that, but let me see if I can slim that number down further.
  
• yup.
