[E2] Mesh Core

This extension allows you to create 'models' in game using the OBJ format.

Example use:
All you do is create the mesh with meshCreate(id, url)
This loads an obj file located at http://my.coolwebsite.com/supercube.obj.

Note:
MTL Files can now be referenced from the OBJ file (see the 'mtllib' line), it will attempt to fetch the file with that name WITH THE SAME URL AS THE OBJ.
For example, you have a OBJ file like 'http://my.website.com/cube.obj'.
In this file you may have The parser will then attempt to fetch 'http://my.website.com/mycubematerials.mtl'


meshCreate(id, string url)
Creates the mesh, similar to holoCreate()

meshSetScale(id, vector scale)

meshSetPos(id, vector pos)
Moves the origin of the mesh(0,0,0) to <pos>

meshSetAng(id, angle ang)
Sets the mesh rotation to <ang>

meshParent(id, entity parent)
Parents the mesh to the entity <parent>

meshSetURL(id, string url)
Loads an OBJ file from a website.

meshSetMaterial(string material)
Sets the material of the mesh to <material>, can either be a material or a URL

meshSetExtraMTL(id, string url)
Sets an extra MTL file to load additional materials from. <Not Required if 'mtllib' is used in the OBJ>

meshcore_cache_cleartextures:
Clears cached materials so that they are (hopefully) re-rendered when they are requested.

meshcore_cache_clearmeshes
Clears cached meshes. This will force the parser(s) to re-read the files, even if they were not modified.
This should only be used if you updated the MTL file and not the OBJ as the mesh cache works with the OBJ file contents.
