Version 3 [Legacy]
[3.0] - 2026-06-07
Added
Schema parsing via tf2_schema.py — reads TF2's items_game.txt to show friendly item names alongside internal keywords during search.
Head-clip warnings — warns at the confirm step when a head-replacement model is placed on a slot that doesn't hide the default head, which would cause the default head to clip through the replacement.
tf2_schema.py is optional — the tool continues without it, just without names and warnings.
Prefab inheritance resolved in schema parsing — most items in items_game.txt inherit fields from parent prefabs, the resolver merges these correctly so all items are indexed with the right data.
Author Notes
v3 was the quality-of-life update that made the tool feel polished. Before this, users had to know internal keywords to search. After this, you could search "towering pillar of hats" and the tool would show you "The Towering Pillar of Hats" rather than a raw file path. The head-clip warning was also the first safety feature — a direct response to the original use case of swapping hats, where clipping was the most common mistake.
