Renaming tools

Post by scrawl »

I would like to propose the following naming changes:

mwiniimport -> openmw-iniimporter
omwlauncher -> openmw-launcher

Unchanged:
bsatool and esmtool (not specific to openmw)

This is for consistency with the "openmw-essimporter" and "openmw-wizard" executables. Additionally, the names "mwiniimport" and "omwlauncher" could be too generic (i.e. provoke conflicts) for packagers. In our ubuntu packages omwlauncher is actually contained in the "openmw-launcher" package, causing much confusion when attempting to start "openmw-launcher" after installing.

100% agree!

Same for our new CS... it should be called openmw-cs

It is what we call it in Debian/Ubuntu.

Fine with me. Only for the binaries of course. Source directory structure stays as it is.

Rename done. I've left opencs alone for now, because it looks like slightly more work, but if someone wants to do it, go right ahead.

opencs sounds much more of a grant tool :D

after 1.0 it might be asked to move back as it's not tied specifically to mw.

Huh? openmw-cs is written with openmw in mind... I doubt it will be used for anything else.

We call the project OpenMW instead of OpenMorrowind for two reasons; first to stay out of legal trouble, but second because the engine has higher aspirations than Morrowind itself.

Perhaps in the future MW will not mean Morrowind to us, but Moddable World.

So openmw-cs would be very suitable in that case.

Agreed. It also makes it more clear that it is a tool for the engine OpenMW and nothing else. I mean, OpenCS could just as well mean OpenCounterStrike.

something like had in mind :D it's basically can the cs be used technically to write different engine from cratch?
fps wouldn't be much but little bit of physics and projectile shooting and vola xp
