Version 4.0

Changes / Changelog

UI / Form

  • Increased form ClientSize

  • Expanded TableLayoutPanel

  • Repositioned OK button

  • RichTextBox:

    • set to ReadOnly = true
    • replaced Dock = Fill → Anchor (responsive resizing)
    • increased size

  • Increased Label width

  • Removed FormBorderStyle = FixedDialog

Stability / Safety

  • Added null check before reading:

    if (node != null)
  • Tag is now read only if the node exists
  • Fixed potential NullReferenceException

Important

Crashes caused by missing nodes and invalid data have been eliminated.

Binary Parsing Fixes

GetString

  • Added bounds protection:

    maxLength = Math.Max(0, Math.Min(maxLength, data.Length - startIndex));

  • Fixed possible ArgumentOutOfRangeException

  • Stabilized behavior for corrupted data

Caution

Previously, invalid binary data could cause application crashes.

Texture System

Import

  • Added:

    • ImportTexturesAllDds
    • ImportTexturesDdsAndTga

  • Support for .dds and .tga

  • Updating existing textures without duplication

Processing

  • Name normalization (NormalizeNodeName)

  • MIP-level handling:

    • ExtractMipLevelName
    • GetMipLevel

  • Texture grouping

Export

  • ExportAllTextures
  • manifest.json generation
  • Config merge support

Tip

Enables centralized texture resource management.

DDS Handling

  • Added DDS_SIZE_LIMIT

  • Fully rewritten:

    private Bitmap[] ReadDDS(byte[] data)

Important

Fixed issues with loading corrupted DDS files.

Geometry Pipeline

Normals / Tangents

  • Added:
    • DuplicateVerticesAndCalcNormalsAndTangents
    • ComputeTangentBasis
    • DuplicateVerticesAndCalculateTangentsAndUpdateMeshEntries

Helper Structures

  • Vec2, Vec3
  • VertexNeighbours
  • NormalGroup
  • VerticeEdges

Tip

Provides proper tangent generation for normal mapping.

Mesh Structure

  • MakeSureMeshesAreSequential

Ensures:

  • sequential vertex layout
  • no overlaps
  • correct offsets

WireData Rebuild

  • Recalculated:

    • VertexOffset
    • MaxVertNoPlusOne
    • NoVertices

  • Rebinding of indices

Model Validation

  • Added:

    VerifyModelData()

Validates:

  • vertex ranges
  • triangle indices
  • VMeshRef
  • VWireData

Warning

Invalid models are now detected before use.

Hardpoints / THN

  • Added:
    • ImportHardpointsFromTHN
    • ExportHardpointsToTHN
    • BuildImportedHardpoints

Scaling

  • RescaleModel

Supports:

  • VMeshData
  • VMeshRef
  • Hardpoints

Node System

  • Improved NodeChanged:
    • automatic CRC update
    • hardpoint synchronization
    • observer notification

Replace System

  • ReplaceAll

Supports:

  • node names
  • content
  • partial / exact match

Rendering / Debug

Normals Visualization

  • Added:

    • DrawNormals()

  • Uses:

    • DrawUserPrimitives(LineList)

UI Toggle

  • displayVerticeNormalsToolStripMenuItem

  • Trigger:

    CheckedChanged → Render()

Tip

Enables visual analysis of geometry and lighting.

Render Pipeline

  • Added override:

    device.SetTextureStageState(0, TextureStage.ColorOperation, SelectArg2);

  • Texture disabling in debug mode

Texture Search

BEFORE

  • Limited to 3 parent levels

AFTER

  • Traverses up to root:

    while (...)
    Directory.GetParent(...)

Important

Textures are now reliably found regardless of directory depth.

VMeshData Changes

TVertex

  • Removed:
    • TangentW

FVF Processing

  • Replaced switch with bitmask logic (if)

  • Usage:

    FlexibleVertexFormat & D3DFVF_*

Supported FVF

  • Updated supported formats
  • Removed unused ones
  • Added missing ones

Warning

May introduce incompatibility with older binary data.

Vertex Parsing

  • Added flags:

    hasNormals
hasDiffuse
fvfTexCount

  • Parsing via:

    switch(fvfTexCount)

Buffer Size Calculation

  • Rewritten GetRawData()
  • Now depends on:
    • hasNormals
    • hasDiffuse
    • fvfTexCount

Data Validation

  • Added checks for:
    • empty parent
    • out-of-bounds access
    • child == ""
    • data == null

Caution

Invalid data is now handled safely instead of causing crashes.
