Fixed appearance of Aeron Winglet (B_STR_AA) parts.
Improved the search responsiveness on the Asset Browser.
Part variant’s have been removed from the Asset Browser and are now accessed from a sub-menu from their relevant “parent” part in the Asset Browser.
Added the “Mirror Across X Axis” tool.
All parts can now be mirrored by the mirror tools, non corvette parts use a rotation based mirror that works best for locally symmetrical parts (walls, etc)
Version 6.1.2
Ported add-on structure to newer Blender extension structure.
Removed YAML as a Python dependency as it’s no longer used.
Fixed an issue where the corvette “_Y_NE” parts were not being listed in their respective variants panel in the Asset Browser.
Collapsed L/R corvette connector pieces into one item with the variants sub-window in the part drawer.
Fixed naming of variants for the Atlas Corvette parts.
Fixed visibility of NW parts for the Hardrame Diffuser Rim
Fixed visibility of Speedbird Dome Rime in the Asset Browser
Fixed an issue where the Asset Browser could not load on systems of certain language settings.
It is no longer required to install Python in order to use the Asset Browser tool.
The tool now uses the Python installation that is part of Blender itself.
Using the Asset Browser should now be a lot more stable to use for users setting things up for the first time.
Existing users can remove their Python installation if they were only using it for this tool.
There is still a small wait on the Asset Browser’s first-time load as things initialize.
Added a Guides button to the tool.
Version 6.1.4
It is no longer required to installed bpy_external for the Asset Browser to work. All you need is Blender and the zip - and you should be good to go!
Visual refresh to the Asset Browser which improves readability and consistency with the Base App.
Added connection point data to the Corvette Mini Teleporter.
A small update from DjMonkey
Both Blender and my Python skills have somewhat improved since I created the Blender add-on back in… (checks notes…) 2019!
I’ve been stripping back the dependencies required for it to function. With 6.1.3 version earlier this month you didn’t need to install a separate Python installation, and now, with todays update - 6.1.4 - you no longer need to install the bpy_externall add-on.
This means the zip alone should be enough for the add-on, including the Asset Browser to function. Which should hopefully improve setup and mitigate the problems people still continually face when trying to get things set up correctly.
I also spent some time doing a visual refresh to make things more consistent with the standalone application and improving legibility, and I also did a small fix adding the connection points to the corvette teleporters.
@Redmas Nice to see all these videos of your mods listed here. I did clean up the links/urls to your Discord a bit, as they were YouTube re-direct links. Should be good now
Added Freighter colour palette to the new colour+material options.
For both tools, applying colours this way should no longer override pre-existing UserData values, like logic switches, etc.
For Blender: Colour and Material information is now displayed on the objects Custom Properties list. This is only for display and readability purposes, changing them does not effect anything.
