File Naming Conventions

Started by Cryptoknight, January 04, 2014, 07:45:33 PM

I'd like to establish file naming conventions because it just makes things easier.

I was thinking something like

Item.<item name>.user

Feat.<feat name>.user

Class.<class name>.user

Race.<race name>.user

For Powers I was thinking

<Class/Race/Feat>.Powers.<power name or perhaps level>.user

It will likely make for a lot of powers, but it should keep confusion to a minimum.
That way when they get bundled into .hl files they're easier to select.

Thoughts?

Personally I do not really like the "one file per feat" thing. It is often convenient to have several things in one .user file (but I am currently not working on any 4e scripts, so not really for me to decide ^^ - as mentioned, my group moved completely to D&D Next). Asides from that I think to have some sort of Naming convention would be a GOOD idea.

The problem with dumping them into a single file is they need some sort of organization.

i.e. so if a fix needs to be fixed again I can find the right file.

Having one file called feats.user means that I'd have to merge into it.

So having a single file per feat that we've fixed means that it's easier to find (even if the directory gets a lot of files) so that when I'm packaging up all the feats for download I can readily identify them.

That said, if somebody has a suggestion for something better than feat.<featname>.user I'm all ears
