(ModTool) Reload Definitions

Ctrl+Alt+R or /reload all in chat.

This will reload all SBC definitions as if you reloaded world... mostly. Needs lots of testing.

Definition instances from before the reload can be identified by their "(OLD) " prefix, they will stick around in blocks, tools, etc unless re-spawned.

There are commands that also respawn grids and planets respectively, type /reload in chat for the list of all commands+hotkeys.

This should not be used in servers/MP unless you want to test changes on downloaded mods only clientside or break stuff if you're doing this as server-player... just don't do it xD


- blocks's DisplayName, MountPoints, Components, IsAirTight, BuildProgressModels.
(requires re-placing or using /reload all+grids chat command)
- particles, tested on "AngleGrinder" particle by removing and re-adding effects.
- planet atmosphere settings
(requires re-placing or using /reload all+planets chat command).
- character health from stats.sbc (requires character respawn).
- HUD definitions (toolbar font, positions... likely everything that can be changed normally can be reloaded with this).
- transparent material but depends:
- it can reload on cockpits but not on windows for example, it's very odd.
- it can change texture but not reload the actual texture, recommended to give it a new name every time you make changes to the texture then reset it back once done tweaking.


Let me know what things you find that are or are not reloaded properly.


- Models' subparts/empties/colliders/animations (requires full game restart).
- Models' visual mesh (use Reload Models from F11 menu).
- Textures (use Reload Textures from F11 menu).
- C# scripts (inaccessible, requires world reload).


- Blocks/planets/etc in world will still use their old definitions, you must use the available commands to respawn them or re-place them manually.
- F11's error list will grow from every reload's errors so don't panic, this mod does add a warning at every reload so you can know where to ignore errors from (always start reading from the bottom). While I can clear errors it would also clear other non-SBC errors like script compile errors.
