• Version 1.0.0:
  
  • Initial Release
• Version 1.0.1:
  
  • Corrected DXT1 conversion to only occur on PNG8 textures, not all textures.
• Version 2.0.0:
  
  • Hex editing is now an internal process thanks to ak2yny, so XVI32 is no longer required.
  • Added new Alchemy-based texture recognition thanks to ak2yny, which allowed for a reduction in user input.
  • Updated processing to allow automatic detection for other aspects, like mannequin pose names and cel shading.
  • Updated settings to allow the user to put a default, ask each run, or skip for all 4 character numbers and 2 paths.
  • Alchemy operations and hex editing are no longer optional.
  • Generally improved error detection in various aspects.
• Version 2.0.1:
  
  • The internal version number was corrected to be current.
• Version 2.0.2:
  
  • Removed the igBuildNativeGeometry optimization for PSP models, as it causes a T-pose on skins.
• Version 2.1.0:
  
  • Several Improvements:
    
    • Hex editing:
      
      • Now accounts for any possible geometry name that contains the number "12301"
      • Now accounts for any textures with the number "12301" in their name
    • Untextured models are now supported
    • Settings now requires full skin numbers rather than character numbers.
      
      • This allows for support for skin swaps or just specially-numbered skins.
    • Alchemy optimizations are now formatted to remove excess space and comments.
  • Bug Fixes:
    
    • Fixed an issue with path collection that was removing unnecessary characters.
• Version 2.1.1:
