SCS Blender Tools 2.4.1 (v8) (unofficial update)

[Digital X]

I've noticed recently that after a while using the updated tools I can no longer choose a shader preset for a new material. I have to save, exit then reload my model.

For example: Shader preset is "none" by default, I go to select "dif.spec" and it stays at "none" like it automatically deselects my options, any idea why this happens?

I know that there is some problems when you use cycles instead of eevee.
It cause errors in log, and after some time it breaks whole plugin.

Yeah I'm using Cycles I just checked. not a huge problem though I just have to reload and it's fixed temporarily.

Hello! Thank you for maintaining and updating Blender Tools, @Michaleczeq!

I have a dummy question, so my apologies in advance Do you know guys if it's possible to prevent Blender from duplicating materials when importing a new model? I know there is an option to "Merge SCS Materials", but it doesn't remove leftovers and you have to Purge Unused Data manually. So I'm just wondering if there is a way to avoid that and force imported materials to merge automatically

[Michaleczeq]

Maybe it's possible, maybe not. I don't know. That's something beyond my skills.

Again, the problem is not with this tool, it does its job as expected. It sees a cubemap tobj, expects multiple texture entries, finds only one and throws an error. The problem lies at Converter PIX level instead, because blurry2 uses a different format (dimension limitations) it gets confused and doesn't split it.

For now it is easy to fix by hand by downscaling blurry3 textures from 4x4px to 2x2px.

I give you one better, open it with GIMP and you have all textures needed, I was surprised when I did it after I read your post how to fix it. Since I am on Linux now and can't use paint.net I had to use GIMP, and it was able to open it

There is a problem when importing the interior of the Man TGX 2020 truck.
Note: The necessary files are located in the project base.

Is there any reflective tape on the chassis, if yes, remove the piko.alldir, this is the only things I can think of when I see what is written.
