Scripts and File Requirements.

[PK8]

Eh, old question I asked on another board. Since I don't remember the answers I've had there, might as well ask here, I s'pose.

Okay, so I'm looking for your input on scripts and event systems that requires new files and/or directories to be made and I'd like to ask a few questions about that. Just feel free to add your own thoughts/questions.

Would you mind if a script/system required you to create a folder for it to work? Would the answer to the first question differ depending on what kind of script/system it is, quantities of folders required, or reasons behind why certain folders are needed? What's your thoughts?

Well, if you can just go into the script and change the folder, it would be good. Also, it helps separate the files for the scripts in use. So... I think separate folders are good because they help keep things organized, but if it becomes too cluttered then that's another story.

Personally, I use a folder for my characters faces, it's easier since my folders really would be a mess without this and other folders. I like new folders since it's easier for me to know where to find the pictures I want to edit later, if that's the question. :P

It should really be an optional thing you can change the directory, filename and/or extension for, similiar what the post above me said. The one thing that drives me batty is how people will have their own Facesets script, that requires you to have "Graphics/Characers/[character_name]_face" and others that look for "Graphics/Faces/[character_name]", etc and you have to find line 436 to change it, this should all be set within a Module or Constant, with a method that knows how to handle the setting.
