[WIP] Blender Plugins from me

[haunetal1990]

I had some Blender plugins created and here I present them to you.

XModdingtools v.0.2.5.​

If you have created a lot of objects and want to change their names to RACESURFACE (example), you will need this addon. Above the sidebar (key: n) you will find a textbox after the installation. In this textbox you can write RACESURFACE selected your meshes and click on "rename mesh(s)" and voilà all your selected meshes now have the name: RACESURFACE_01, RACESURFACE_02 etc (including the mesh data name).

The second button is for people who only want to rename the mesh data names, but not the mesh names (important for export to fbx, obj,..). Select your meshes and click the button. After that the meshes will all have your name in both path.

Functions:

• rename selected meshes using a text box and a button (including mesh data name)
• rename only mesh data name from selected meshes
• add track objects (tirewall, cone) including modifier array function
• refresh the materials of selected meshes
• set Textures to Alpha

works in: Blender 2.93, 3.6.1, 4.0.2
Multilanguage: english and german

thanks to FuNK! for his feedback.

why not use the built in function CTRL+F2?

why not use the built in function CTRL+F2?

Because I have problems with this function. I didn't find a way to use both settings (rename mesh name + data name).

And I think a lot of users didn't know about this feature. And my plugin renamed the obj with Numbering after race_...

ok in my blender it works normally

and you can swap Objects for Meshes to rename the meshes as so

But if your tools are grouped together then that makes it eaiser.

New version of the plugin for Blender. I added some new features like add track objects and refresh button. I know there are some addons for Blender available and it's not a new function for some users, but have fun.

v. 0.1.5
- add track objects (tirewall, cone) including modifier array function
- Add an refresh button for materials:
Select a mesh / some meshes and click on the button
- Edit the texture checker. Now it has a listbox for a better look

Known Bugs

• Positioning: The helmet and steering wheel are currently placed at the origin coordinates (0, 0, 0) instead of their actual positions in the car.

Nice! This could actually come in handy. Anybody have access to the USAC 1967-1971 mods? It stinks with their forum being locked down
