Albam_reloaded 0.3.8 alpha

There were too many small improvements tested only by me, so I decided to update the addon finally. The main changes are:

• added experimental support for stage geometry editing
• added a new experimental Auto-renamer tool for renaming bones for characters
• added a new copy-paste feature for material properties
• added experimental support for cube maps (requires specific workflow)
• fixed issues that prevented exporting 4k textures
• fixed issues that prevented using Albam for Blender 2.8-2.92

Albam_reloaded 0.3.7

Changes in blender itself since version 3.4(?) broke texture exports, so this intermediate version should fix those issues. Blender files created with 0.36 are not supported by this version

In this version:

• reworked texture import-export, now it uses MTFramework node
• added Transfer Normals tool

Albam_reloaded 0.3.6 -Hotfix-

This release shouldn't happen but since version 0.4 is a bit delayed due to major changes, let it be a kind of pre-alpha version that can already be used for modding.

In this version:

• fixed mesh visibility calculation for characters and static meshes
• fixed broken brightness for certain meshes during cut-scenes
• added initial support editing of level geometry (lightmaps don't work yet)
