v2.3.0

Tested compatibility: Blender 2.90 -> 4.1

Added

• Materials tool RVMAT Templates
• import-export:
  • P3D:
    • support for Underground (VBS) LOD type
    • support for Groundlayer (VBS) LOD type
    • support for Navigation (VBS) LOD type
    • Collisions export option (handling duplicate LOD types)
    • Generate Components export option
    • LOD copy directives
• Validation tool:
  • LOD - Generic ruleset:
    • warning for more than 2 UV channels on a LOD object
  • LOD - Shadow ruleset:
    • warning for unconventinal LOD indices (not 0, 10, 1000, 1010 or 1020)
    • warning if LOD has lodnoshadow = 1 named property
  • LOD - Underground (VBS) ruleset
  • LOD - Groundlayer (VBS) ruleset
• Rigging tool:
  • Add OFP2_ManSkeleton operator
• Debug add-on options tab:
  • Preserve Preprocessed LOD Objects

Changed

• import-export:
  • export processes will no longer start if the target file is in use by another application
  • backup and temporary export files are now time stamped in the extension to avoid collisions
  • P3D:
    • handling of unknown LOD types has been improved (the Unknown LOD type can now be used to set any custom LOD signature)
• utilities:
  • Find Components now only creates selections for closed components
• Vertex Mass Editing tool:
  • Mass From Density now ignores non-closed components and loose vertices
• Rigging tool:
  • skeletons and bones are no longer forcibly alphabetically sorted
  • hierarchic bone order now has to be maintained manually, depending processed will not try to detect the hierarchy in a mixed order
• Colors tool was moved under new Materials tool
• Preserve Faulty Output add-on option was moved to the newly introduced Debug options tab

Fixed

• Geometry LOD validation would falsely report not triangulated meshes
• P3D import would crash Blender if Proxy Action was set to Purge
• Find Components would purge all vertex groups under certain circumstances
