Euro Truck Simulator 2: SCS Blender Tools V1.5 bringen einige Verbesserungen ZoomEntwickler SCS Software hat die Version 1.5 der SCS Blender Tools f�r den Euro Truck Simulator 2 ver�ffentlicht. Ziel ist es, Moddern die Arbeit weiter zu erleichtern, nicht nur neue Inhalte zu entwerfen, sondern auch bereits geschaffene Werke bei zuk�nftigen Spiel-Updates leichter anzupassen.

Nach nunmehr fast einem Jahr seit dem Erscheinen der ersten vollen Version der Blender Tools, tun die Entwickler nach wie vor viel, um die stetig wachsende Truck Simulator-Community auf Trab zu halten. Auf einige der Neuerungen wird dabei in einem kurzen Video eingegangen.

SCS Blender Tools - Version 1.5-Changelog:
-Added support for one-click setup of environment lighting loaded from sun profiles SII file (eg. /def/climate/default/nice.sii). This enables the best possible preview of a model in game like environment.
-Asynchronous paths initialization on startup, resulting in faster Blender startup and faster blend files opening
-User option to load all libraries and resources from sibling "base" directories also (by default off)
-Ability to reload library on the fly beside the setting where it is used (eg. Hookup Lib can be reloaded in Model Locator Settings)
-Improved material flavors behavior, with implementation of filter for non existing effects combinations (prevents user to create non existing effect)
-Added support for creation of SCS Locators and SCS Root via standard Blender add menu (menu accessible via Shift+A in 3D viewport)
-Normal maps properly visualized in 3D view even if active UV layer on object is not the one used for normal maps calculation.
-Reloading shader presets only when cache is out-dated (again speed-up of opening blend files)

Updated Prefab Locators flags:
-added Map Point split lanes setups,
-added Weight Station CAT Spawn Point type,
-added Traffic Semaphores types: Traffic Light (virtual), Barrier - Automatic.

Improvements & Fixes:
-fixed unpropper UI snapping of TOBJ settings,
-ensuring same order of bone channels in PIA export (useful when working with VCS),
-negative add ambient material values supported in export and also visualized in Blender 3D viewport
-properly reported python error on screen and in BT log while importing/exporting
-rejecting wrongly named SCS Root Object on export,
-reporting missing UV layer used for normal maps on export,
-reporting multiple animations with same name overwriting each other on export,
-properly handling none existing UV mappings aliases on import (most properly produced with ConverterPIX),
-fixed Blender crash if rapidly enabling/disabling SCS Blender Tools add-on,
-fixed error on import if no 3D viewport is found or active object is on currently hidden layer in scene.
