Usage 🚀

1. Download latest release here
2. Organize your server content in the following folder structure:

   .
   └── my_content/
       ├── input/
       │   └── playermodels/
       │       ├── neco_arc_pm/
       │       │   ├── models/
       │       │   ├── materials/
       │       │   └── lua/
       │       ├── spongebob_pm/
       │       │   ├── models/
       │       │   ├── materials/
       │       │   └── lua/
       │       └── models.json
       ├── output/
       │   ├── _lua/
       │   ├── _lua_merged/
       │   └── playermodels/
       │       ├── models/
       │       └── materials/
       ├── source-mdl-rs.exe
       └── Config.toml
   

3. Run the source-mdl-rs executable

Your repacked addons will be available in the output folder.

Models whitelist 📜

The tool allows you to create a whitelist for models in your addon packs, eliminating unnecessary content. This is useful for playermodels.
Follow these steps:

1. Use this example lua script for DarkRP to generate a list of used models

   local models = {}
   
   for _, job_extra in ipairs(RPExtraTeams) do
   	if not job_extra.model then
   		continue
   	end
   
   	if isstring(job_extra.model) then
   		table.insert(models, job_extra.model)
   	end
   
   	if istable(job_extra.model) then
   		table.Add(models, job_extra.model)
   	end
   end
   
   local json = util.TableToJSON(models, true)
   
   SetClipboardText(json)

2. Paste the generated content into a file named models.json` within your addon pack.
