Package Creation

[friarsol]

I'm gonna spend a little time today moving some files around to different packages. Hopefully this won't break anything. I'm going to submit it all as one big checkin, that way if we need to revert it's not an issue. Hopefully with improved organization in the codebase, it'll be easy to concentrate on a specific area.

As part of these changes I'm planning on also changing the name of AbilityCost to just Cost, since that's way more appropriate.

Creating the packages is overall a good thing, but it might break some of the build scripts we have running around. I'll look over the scripts to make sure they seem to be running ok before submitting the changes.

Ah, great idea and thnk you.

I had considered releasing another beta this weekend but then decided to wait until the following weekend. This will give us a week to sort out any oddities prior to the next release.

Anyone know what happened to the build scripts? I can't seem to find the latest version, and I wanted to make appropriate updates.

I'm going to leave a fair amount still in the main branch, just moving out the clearly obvious ones into packages. If this works fairly well, then it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to move the rest.

Ah that was it. Initial packaging change is in. I didn't have to change anything on the scripts so creating packages in the future should go pretty smooth (as long as noone is in the process of editing the files you are planning to move)

If we are able to organize everything logically, it'll be easy to see what files are unused and clean up old and unused sections of the codebase.

I am in the process of rebuilding my entire project (except for the set pics I have already downloaded) and it appears that the 2.5 sec delay in the download has been removed. Was that intentional?

Urg. Nope. I'll fix it so Rob's servers don't die. I thought I had reverted that the other day.
