Hey Stainless , don't get too excited , I don't have any information or skill that can help you , however I must say that even as a code moron of the lowest order , I think this thread is very interesting , and obviously has significant implications for mod development. It is notable that PlaneEater , Epervier and my favourite mushroom are interested as well- this bodes well for your development.
I also must say that your very empirical approach to presenting your findings is very helpful in understanding what you are doing. I hope you continue the format. It gives me the dimmest glimmer of understanding.

Thanks man, I don't just want to give you a tool to test your mods, I want to document as much as possible.

That way if anyone else has a good idea, they don't have to go through all the work I have done. 

I've implemented copy paste and a simple transform editor and it kinda works. (I forgot to rotate the pasted mesh so the camouflage is wrong)

[Stainless]

I have shadows working

This is based on the shadow vertices stored in the mesh, so it is useful, it's not just a conceit.

Got engine smoke working.

For reference, hook locations are cumulative. To get the location for a hook you have to add up the contribution from all parent nodes.

Watching with very keen interest ... this has the potential of making modding easier for a lot of the people.

Thank you,

[Stainless]

That was the idea, when I've got it to a stage where it does what it was designed to do (test mods without having to put it in the game) I will create  a web page for it and publish both the app and the source code.

As long as I still have time to work on it, I will then add editing capabilities and any other features people request.

Added engine fires using the ENGINE(n)ES hook.

Is this the correct hook?  The fires are in the wrong place.

Can anyone check for me please?

_Engine1EF_01 = exhausts flames
_Engine1ES_01 = exhaust smoke

[Stainless]

Thanks.

That makes me think the hooks are wrong on this mod then, or my code is wrong, don't know which.

[Stainless]

Okay I've just looked at it in meshconverter and the hooks are in the correct place, so it's me.

[Stainless]

That's better
