- supports the porting and conversion of 'ambient'/'diffuse' colors to 'true color' setting in .mat files (if 'ambient' and 'diffuse' colors differ, a 'special_materials.txt' log file with the materials with that situation will be created, and no diffuse color will be applyed in this case, you will have to solve that by yourself, since carma2 only supports this to change the color of a texture)

- recognizes alpha setting in materials (translucency) and creates a brand new .pix file with alpha channel for those materials which don't use a texture file (for example to create glasses or any material with only diffuse and alpha settings without using texture files initially). This is NOT supported for materials associated to texture files, which names and alpha setting will be indicated in the 'special_materials.txt' log file).

- added a toggle to automatically overwrite already existing files

- added tooltiptexts in almost all controls, check them out when having doubts

- a few minor bug fixes

This one above it's the one that it's not finished yet (but in about 15 days it will be finished, as it's already about 60% coded), that's the one i am working at the moment. This one is usefull to, for example, to replace objects with coordinates taken from a .txt file, like, for example, the powerups in Carma1 tracks ! And many other things...

And this one took a LONG time to finish but it's finally done : now it fully supports both zipped or unzippped prefab packs, it's able to load the extracted prefab into Plaything2 by itself (without macro programs as my vb6 program is able to do macros itself!). This one sure was a LOT of work, but was worth it, as i already tried importing a prefab into a track and it was much faster and better to import a prefab!

This last one is finished too : a browser of the installed prefabs in a track. Note that the screnshot is the same that appears when installing prefabs. This is also able to detect if the prefab's textures are being used in the track or not.

As you all see, it's going well, lets hope this mod is finished at least in this year and this time definetly!

But i have BIG NEWS : finally i learned so much about Visual basic 6 that i am now able to REPLACE the macro express program, which means that it will not be needed anymore Macro Express to have macros on Plaything, this will save a lot of work that many people complain about using macros, as now EVERYTHING will be done by my vb6 program, Pt2 auxiliary program which can now do macro functions just like those in Macro Express, so we get macro functions WITHOUT all that long list of limitations !!

Now it won't be anymore excuses about not using the macros version because of a comercial program named Macro Express and no more a long list of limitations to follow!

But of course i have just now learned those advanced functions in visual basic 6 now it will take about 1 month to write this new version, so keep checking this website as now it's being updated again, and of course all my tools will be also updated with better functions, thanks to all the advanced stuff i learned in vb6 !!
