Version 0.2.0

Update Scenery Files

The new function updateSceneryFiles was created to remove remaining scenery files from modelLib and modelLib/texture that are no longer registered in scene/objects.xml (e.g. deleted photogrammetry tiles from in-game scenery editor). It can also remove .PNG.DDS and .PNG.DDS.json files located inside of a TEXTURE folder of an already built project.

Functions

New Functions

• updateSceneryFiles: Delete scenery files across the project (modelLib and modelLib/texture) that are no longer registered in scene/objects.xml. It can also remove .PNG.DDS and .PNG.DDS.json files located inside of a TEXTURE folder of an already built project by providing the TEXTURE path in deleteBuiltTextures argument.
• getXmlGuid: Get GUID from a modelLib .xml file.

Version 0.1.2

• Functions fixLods and fixBinGltf (both executed from fixCorruptedFiles) now removes all correspondent texture files (.png) from folder texture. Previously, only the corrupted .bin, .gltf and .xml were deleted, but the textures themselves were not. This behavior could make the final package bigger to the end user (as Flight Simulator editor does not remove them automatically).
• New function: objectsXmlGuids (Get all guids identifiers registered in objects.xml file).
