Description
Allows replacing textures and meshes ingame in realtime for testing purposes.

FOR ASSET CREATORS

d/a/c/i/n/s and mesh for buildings/props/vehicles(reimported mesh wheels won't spin)

d/a/c/n and mesh for trees (LODs update once camera is moved)


Imports files from the local asset import folder.
Textures are PNG just like normally, mesh must be OBJ format.


SHIFT + ALT + R to open UI


Thank you to:

Simon Royer for the UI and help.
boformer for the initial mesh replacement code and help.


Known issues:

LODs can't be replaced, except for trees, which are rendered realtime.
Wheels will not spin for replaced vehicle meshes.
Object must be placed at 0,0,0 before exporting OBJ. (In 3ds Max at least, also possibly X flipped?)
Textures which are shared because of Loading Screen Mod will all get replaced.
If you originally didn't import some textures (like A C I) and then use realtime to "replace" one of them, or only two of them, one of the channels might get inverted incorrectly, to fix it just import all textures of a type (so A C I or X Y(normal) S) (create solid black/white ones if you don't need some textures).

I can't test every possible scenario with every possible prefab type, so maybe something may import incorrectly.

Like others, I couldn't get the Realtime UI to pop up, so I dug into the source code to see if I could fix it. Only then did I realize that this mod is designed to work within a game session, not in the asset editor .

I haven't tried to use it in a game session, but I assume it would work. I built my own version so I could enable it inside the asset editor. It's easy enough to do if you've made a mod before; on line 21 of the source code, just add conditions for LoadMode.NewAsset and LoadMode.LoadAsset. Once I did that, the key combo opened the UI inside the asset editor, and I could choose the building I was importing and hot-swap new maps onto it. I haven't been able to get OBJ files to hot-swap in the asset editor, but that doesn't surprise me.

If you do make these changes, you're on your own. Please don't bug Ronyx or Simon about it. I won't be of any help either; other than the one line I changed, I know nothing about this mod.

There is a problem in linux, maybe with paths, linux uses normal slashes while windows uses backslashes to separete folders... so i can't use the mod in my linux computer

This is totally AWESOME!!! I was getting SOOOOOO sick of recreating my asset, quitting the game, opening the game, loading my save and checking it out just to not like it and start the whole process all over! THEN, I came across this!
