Discussion: world and configuration files names

[ghost]

Hi all,

I want to purpose a style guide for world and configuration files. Actually the worlds of gazebo they are as follows.

Actually	Proposed	Notes
ardrone-beacons	adrone-beacons	The name describes the world
ArDrone_boxes	ardrone-boxes	For naming style
ArDrone_simple-gsoc	ardrone-gsoc-simple	A world without textures
ArDrones	ardrones-simple	Two drones in a simple world
ArDrones_texture_gsoc	ardrone-gsoc-texture
ardrone-turtlebot	ardrone-turtlebot-simple	A world with ardrone and turtlebot
ArDrone	ardrone-simple	One drone in a simple world
car_apriltag	ardrone-car-apriltags	One drone and one car in a world with apriltags
departamental2	pioneer-departamental	One pioneer in departamental world
fbworld	flyingball-simple
gato_raton_1	ardrones-gato-raton	A world with two drones for gato ratón
gato_raton_2	-	Equal than gato_raton_1 with drones in differents positions
jaramaSigueLineas	pioneer-jarama-siguelineas
kinect	kinect-simple
montmelo-kobuki	kobuki-montmelo	kobuki or turtlebot?
montmelo-pioneer	pioneer-montmelo
naoworld	nao-simple
pioneer2dxJde-2	pioneer-simple
pioneer2dxJde	pioneer-labyrinth
plane_demo	plane-simple
quadrotor	quadrotor-simple
reconstruccion3D	pioneer-3dreconstruction
road_drone	ardrone-road-simple
road_drone_textires	ardrone-road-textures

The general idea is:

<actor or actors>-<world description>-<action description>.world

For configuration files the idea is:

<actor>-<interface name>-<description>.cfg

Example: turtlebot-camera-rigth.cfg

any suggestions?

regards

I agree with this. We better have a naming convention in order to prevent future headaches.

Mmm... it is a very valid proposal. By the way, just some questions

1. What is most important, robot or scene?
2. Who could be imported as "include"?
3. Plain world files or include based?

Naming sounds good, but requires '_' for spaces. For example: ardrones-gato-raton will be ardrones-?-gato_raton

Since not every world have a clear context (gsoc, curso drones, test, etc) something like: context-actors-world-actions seems unpractical

My second mini change is replace plurals by _xN

Finally, if world is more important, names could be: empty-ardrone_x2-gato_raton departamental-pioneer empty-ardone_car-follow_apriltag

First word is really important for indexing, so i suppose that will be difficult reach a clear naming convention
