Finished refactoring of whole M2 template to rename most of all known data blocks to be exact to names used by blizzard which were datamined by reverse engineering wow client by this the template is practicaly 90%~ accurate just as offical blizzards tech with some minor deviations + Added Read function that translates the .anim file name if the sub anim sequence has data sitting outside of the m2 file + Rewrote expansin checking code and all checks in the template accounting for version checks as well alongside with better header version selection too + Interpolation ranges in M2Track finished for <=TBC + SkinProfile section reading enabled + Fixed the Multiexture patam reading in particles for >= Cata + Fixed particle block for <= TBC + Camera version check upgrade + With this update TBC should be fully supported according to documentation on wow dev wiki alongside with that vanilla as well if therre are bugs they should be notified to me since I do not have a way to test it myself |

Added new lines to Ribbons and fixed the Ribbon AlphaBlock missmatching structure values PriorityPlane, RibbonColorIndex, textureTransformLookupIndex - Added TXID x nTexture matching to show in the Texture Block - Added support for new undocumented MD21 chunk AFRA further research needed - Upgraded RGB value track by removing tons of clutter and moving most of the functions to the variable attributes - Added helpet union value of bit flags to material flags to better depict functions that are impractical for enum listbox which was preserved - Converted the Light blocks C3 values of Color M2 Tracks from using float via inline conversion to 0 to 256 range to keep with standarts from particle block for better reading - Added E_CRC_BoneName to translate names of bones for debugging purposes - Added <open=true> to M2_File main structure - reworked some of the SetColor schemes to lessen the occurange of buggy colorization of structure |
