If I understand correctly, the request is for a mechanism to hide or apply some visual "deprecated" status to models in DarkRadiant, without actually removing the model itself from the game installation (which would break maps). I think this is actually pretty straightforward: 1. In each folder (virtual in a PK4 or extracted on disk), DarkRadiant will look for an "assets.lst" file, and attempt to parse this as a list of keyvalue pairs. If there is no such file, or the parsing fails, DarkRadiant will ignore the file and load all assets within the folder as normal. 2. If the assets.lst contains a line in the format "bad_model.lwo=hidden", DarkRadiant will hide the named asset from all in-game selectors, but continue to render the asset as normal if it is already present in a map. 3. Other values could be supported as well; for example, "bad_model.lwo=deprecated" could list the model in selectors but apply some GUI styling to indicate that it is not recommended for use. 4. There is no particular reason to limit this to only models (hence "assets.lst" not "models.lst"). Bad textures could be hidden in the same way (although it is perhaps less useful for assets which are constructed via virtual paths in def files rather than an on-disk file hierarchy). 5. The key on the left of the equal sign could be a directory as well, resulting in the entire directory being hidden. |
