Usage

Steps

1. Prepare your system

For this plugin to properly import the files we need to set up the system_template in a correct way. The plugin will search for a _scope.json file in order to identify the root of the system. That way you can still use subfolders.

Here is an example for a folder structure of a system.

- my_system
    - _scope.json
    - _map.py
    - some_file.json
    - some_other_file.json
    - big_chair
        - big_chair.geo.json
        - big_chair_0.animation.json
        - big_chair_1.animation.json
        - big_chair_0.png
        - big_chair_1.png
        - big_chair_2.png  
    - small_chair
        - small_chair.geo.json
        - small_chair.animation.json
        - small_chair.png                        

2. Open geometry file

Open the geometry file with Blockbench. You can either drag the file into Blockbench or open it through Blockbench by clicking File -> Open Model (Ctrl + O).

3. Load files

There are two options for importing files

Relevant files

This will load all files that are animations and all textures that have the correct extension based on the type of model.

This means when a block model is opened it will only import textures with the .block.png, .block.tga extensions and an entity model will only import textures with the .entity.png and .entity.tga extensions.

Go to File -> Import -> Load Relevant Files from System

All files

This will load all files that are animations or textures.

Go to File -> Import -> Load All Files from System

Additional Notes
