Open, inspect, edit, and build Red Faction .vpp files in a modern way!

IT IS NOW A 3D VIEWER: This is the biggest change. You no longer have to load anything in the
editor just to look at it. Click a file inside the VPP and it renders:

- V3M static meshes, with their textures, in 3D. Orbit, zoom, pan,
wireframe.

- V3C characters, as real skeletons, and they PLAY their animations.
Pick any .rfa in the VPP from the dropdown and watch it run, with
play/pause, a scrubber and a timer.

- VFX effects, rendered with their textures and playing their animation
(morph, moving parts, keyframes, scrolling UVs).

- The textures a mesh uses are listed under the model, including size.

Between that and the existing TGA / DDS / PCX / VBM / VF font viewers,
the .tbl editor and .rfl info, you can inspect basically any Red Faction
asset without opening another program.

ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT PREVIEWS

The viewer only looks inside the VPP you have open. A model shows its
textures if those .tga / .dds / .vbm files are in that same VPP, and a
character only lists the .rfa animations that are in it too. If a mod
splits models, textures and animations across different VPPs, put them
in one to preview properly. Untextured grey models or an empty animation
list almost always means the pieces are somewhere else.

OTHER ADDITIONS SINCE 1.9

- No more re-downloading for new updates. Help > Check for updates installs the latest update and restarts.

- There is now a browser version included, a single html file.

- Undo and redo (Ctrl Z / Ctrl Y), plus autosave. The first time a
session overwrites a VPP it leaves a .vpp.bak of the original.

- Save now just saves and Save As is its own button.

- Extract asks for a folder and unpacks straight into it.

- Drag a box in the file list to select a group, or select every file of
one type from the sidebar. Duplicate files, copy names, and move
through the list with the arrow keys. Space plays and pauses.
