Description

The data directory is a mess, likely because numerous directories that should really be subdirectories of other directories are just sitting there. Its confusing to read and navigate through. A bunch of this seems to be directories that really should all reside in an AtB or Stratcon directory. Here are some of the offenders:

  • mapgen - is this AtB?
  • mapsetup - is this AtB?
  • forcegenerator - is this AtB?
  • scenariomodifiers - is this AtB?
  • scenariotemplates - is this AtB?
  • stratconbiomeddefinitions, stratconcontractdefinitions, stratconfacilities - this should have been in a stratcon directory from the beginning.
  • terrainconditionodds - no idea what this is but it shouldn't live at the top level even if its the only thing in its class.

Research direction

Start by mapping the top-level data directories named in the issue, especially mapgen, mapsetup, forcegenerator, scenariomodifiers, scenariotemplates, and the stratcon definitions. Determine which belong under AtB or Stratcon and where terrainconditionodds fits; done means the directory structure is organized without leaving the listed categories ambiguously placed.
