Hi,

I have created something to help in 3D Studio Max when checking assets before importing them into the engine.

Happy developing!




Instructions:
1. Unrar
2. Drag 'n' Drop the .ms file into 3ds max
3. If you want to invetigate the code, feel free, I choose not to encrypt things this time.
4. There's a checkbox if you want to surpress the messageboxes I surely use a lot as confirmation.

Toolset can be found here: http://pirates-nest.com/developer-tools/

I used his old ones and they were really nice! Simple cli lines brought into a nice interface to add to the Ease of Life.

I will check this one out when I have a chance. Thanks! and great work!!

I also take requests.

So, I did read the Discord channel, and it appears people did struggle a bit with the art-pipeline. I added a Scene Inspector (It's open Source, and by no means 100% perfect).

Here's a screenshot, and it includes:
- Object Name
- Object faces & Polygons (just came in handy really)
- HE Occluder (There's a cool button as well!)
- LastPose (If it has a Lastpose=undefined propbuffer)
- H-Material: Will check if it's an actual HE Material
- H-Material Spaces: Will check for spaces in your HE Materials
- HE-Directory : Checks if you imported the material from within the HE directory (so no more flashy textures!)
- HE-Directory Spaces: Will check for spaces in the entire HE directory. Spaces are a burden. Don't use spaces.
