New filename format

With the releases this month, I'm starting the work to update the openforge file name format.  All releases this month will be on the new format, and over the months, I'll tackle coherent chunks of the historical files to get them moved over.  I'm starting first with Separate Wall, and then I'll move into Wall on Tile (the two formats will have some slight filename format differences).

The new format for separate wall looks like this:

[Texture]#[Shape]+[Shape Options].[Letter].[Connection system]+[Options].stl

Breaking this down by piece

  • Texture - dungeon_stone, plain, town, etc - the look of the part
  • Shape - wall, floor, niche, secret_door, etc - the basic form of the part
  • Shape Options - low, type of door (arched, wide) - changes to the shape of the part.  Each option is separated by a comma
  • Letter - The standard OpenLock shape name from the OpenLock Tessellation Templates.  I sometimes have to create my own - generally if there is a lower case 'x' in the name, that means it's some shape from Openlock with something removed.  Gx is half the angular size of G.  VxE is the V tile with an E tile removed from it, etc.
  • Connection system - which connection system is on the tile.  Openforge means that it takes bases.  Openlock, Dragonlock, Infinitylock, Triplex (which is openlock, but with connectors at every edge and vertice) and Magnetic are all options here.  If more than one is used, they will be separated by a comma.  If two connection systems are used, the order in the filename indicates which one overrides the other in the event that the two conflict (mostly on S/SA/SB, but it comes up in some other circumstances).
  • Options - Any other kind of option.  Normally used for sidelocks and pegs, but can have other uses as well.  Multiple options on the same tile are separated by commas.

Examples

  • plain#base.OA.openlock,magnetic+topless.stl
  • dungeon_stone#door+arched,wide.Q.openforge+infinitylock,side.stl
  • cut_stone#floor.V.triplex.stl
