- Change default validation mode from STRICT to NONE (disabled)
- Move validation from automatic panel draw to explicit "Validate Now" button
- Hide validation results when mode is changed to NONE
- Fix PMX/MMD model detection to check mmd_type value, not just attribute existence
- Add new validation result collapsible sections
- Improve UI presentation with better visual hierarchy
- Add translation strings for new validation UI elements
- Updated Operations and Properties with tpying and logging.
I have not updated translation files, this is because i want to gut MMD Tools system and replace it with our own, however I want to make MMD Tools more simple and ajust it to our needs only. This is going to take a while and my aim for this is Alpha 4, also the MMD Translation system hurt my head....
- Fixes a couple of bugs as well, with quick access and the PMX importer.
- Updater will only look for Alpha 1 updates now
- Will check for updates automatically when the updater tab is opened.
(Same for Alpha 2, just needed update to Alpha 1 as Alpha 2 is for Blender 4.4)
- The idea is to have several buttons which kinda mimic what Cats used to do.
- These are very basic, don't work very well, will improve before Alpha 1.
Added the Armature Validation modes now, we have Stritct, Basic and None, it will give a warning to the user in the panel if there have it set to basic or none.
Settings panel added, langauge change has been added back. Did some work on it to slightl improve the system.
Added dubug area, basically everything but autoload will use logging now, you be able to turn it on/off in debug settings.
Did other bits and bobs.
I decided to go through each function and UI section one by one, improving and overhauling things. Each function and section is going to be fully tested and not rushed out.
This is the best way to catch things, but also include the code base as much as possible.
- Re-wrote how the plugin registers itself.
- No longer need @register_wrapper classes get auto detected and added.
- The new Auto loader is much better then the old way, no longer need "if "bpy" not in locals():" this was an old way of doing things and wasn't really efficient.
using auto_load.py provides several advantages:
- It automatically discovers and loads all modules in the addon.
- It handles dependencies between classes correctly through topological sorting.
- It manages registration order automatically.
- It properly handles unregistration in the correct order.
This approach is much less error prone and I not had any issues so far. However it still needs testing fully.
I have also start to re-organise files into folders as well, this is going to be needed so we don't have a long list of files as Avatar Toolkit is getting larger then i originally planned.
