v1.3.3

• Fixed Color Attributes with the Face Corner being exported incorrectly.
• Increased the targeted Blender version to 3.0

v1.3.2

• Fixed "Key Specular not found" error when importing with Blender 4.0. (#13) Thanks to @styinx

v1.3.1

• Use color attributes instead of (the deprecated) vertex colors when exporting meshes. Thanks to @LeovanGit

v1.3.0

• Vertex colors are now added to the Blender meshes when importing. Thanks to @LeovanGit

v1.2.2

• Catch empty TX*D chunks

v1.2.1

• Fix improper hiding of objects
• Incorrect MNDX chunks ignored, fixing many vertex weighting issues

v1.2.0

• Segments with no geometry data are now pruned on export, fixing one major cause of #3
• Models exported from the original Pandemic XSI plugin can have valid collision primitives with incorrect names (e.g. a cylinder named p_collisionsphere in cis_hover_aat.msh), these are always caught and tracked now
• Vertex groups that are not used for skinning purposes will not be processed on export
• An object is only exported as a skin if it has vertex groups used for skinning
• Support for emulating and limited support for filling the additive transparency property
• More robust search for filling in diffuse textures and support for transparency and backface culling properties
• Emulation of scrolling rendertypes refactored to be compatible with all Blender versions > 2.80

v1.2.0-rc

Pre-release for upgraded material fill operator and bump/normal mapping support.

Material fill operator is upgraded to:

• Fill in transparency properties
• Carry out a more robust search for the diffuse texture map
  It still works backwards from a Principled BSDF, testers will determine if this is satisfactory...
• Replace all image file extensions with .tga when setting material property texture path fields

Support for normal mapping includes:

• Typical RGB normal maps
• Bump mapping if a .tga.option can be found which specifies that the texture should indeed be interpreted as a bump map. The emulation will read the -bumpscale parameter and set the Distance input of the bump node to it.
• Most rendertypes using normal maps

This will remain a pre-release for a little while because the FillMaterialProperties operator is more complex and probably still buggy. The order in which nodes are explored could potentially be improved with input from testers...

v1.0.0-rc

This is a pre-release for full import/export support of SWBF models. Expect frequent updates as community feedback is integrated.

New features include:

• Import and Export of one or more .msh files supporting animations and all model types except cloth
• Import of munged animations (.zaabin files)

v0.2.1

• Fixed vertex colour channel ordering .msh files.
