I have a request relating to templates. Can we somehow manage to have one copy of each script file in the repository, not three or four? Both for size reasons and so that if we want to make changes to the scripts, we only have to make them once! This applies especially to the tools directory and the core directory (if it's not being removed) which are literally identical in each template.

I think it would be useful for new people to Torque3D if you put in a few more basic templates such as:-

RTS_tutorial
TorqueTactics

and any other ones out there, just to show at the start that Torque isn't just for FPS's

Maybe have a Templates download branch?

I also have a suggestion:

Could we separate the art data to a different repo? So that the downloads for the actual source becomes smaller? Because I imagine the graphics etc.. is better served to be downloaded separately. Not to mention it saves bandwidth for the bandwidth challenged people :).

Just a thought.
