Godot: [C#] Separate Solution folder from assets folder

[RUSshy]

Hi, currently everything is mixed, it looks messed up

Could it be possible to separate both ?

MySolutionName:
   MyGameProject/
              MyGameProject.csproj
              MyScript.cs
   GodotRes/

Or a way to specify where to create the project

This way is more clean and more C# idiomatic

Since godot is heavily script base you might have to start working around a new folder schema. Currently how I'm organizing my projects

• App/ (Scripts, and normal source as sub folders to keep the namespace Project.App)
• Assets/
• Assets/Sound
• Assets/Fonts
• Bin/ (Exports)
• Data/ (json, etc...)
• Scenes/
• Scenes/Objects (Scene Objects)
• Scenes/UI (Scene UI)
• Packages/ (Nuget)
• Project.sln
• Project.csproj

BIt more organized, hope that helps. As for your other question is there a way to define a separate solution folder for scripts. Not sure if possible with c#.

It doesn't help because if my stack in in entire C# i want to reuse stuff

Let's say i make an online game with server, database, rest api

     MyServer
     MyDB
     MyAPI
     Shared

I want also my game project to be part of the solution, and not have stuff messed up everywhere, it is not clean

What you try to do is to clone Unity, wich is bad for that kind of workflow

Adding an option to choose where to put the project should be there

It won't hurt or change your project, it's optional

Elaborate on "not have stuff messed up everywhere", I'm not against the idea of having options, but you need to be a bit more descriptive.

This would be nice to have so that the project can be managed under the same solution as other related projects outside of Godot.

For example, I have the following setup:

Solution:
    Game
    Client
    Shared

Where Game is a project contained in its own directory for server side game logic, Client is the Godot project contained in its own directory and Shared is a .NET standard library contained in its own directory with classes shared between them.

Currently, I can work around this issue, but it is just a bit irksome that I can not:

1. Run the Godot project without its own generated solution file inside of the Godot project directory.

2. Click on a script in Godot and have it open in Visual Studio 2019 under the solution I would like it to open under.

Removing the generated solution file in the project directory seems to cause the build process issues with finding the code files. I am also running into an issue where the project file is regenerated and it removes all of the references to my NuGet packages. Not sure if that is related.

Maybe we could specify the solution in the project settings?
