===Outliner=== | |||
When click the second icon (Display Mode) of the Outliner you can change the Layer View to Data API. This might be helpful for logging one or another command by toying around in properties. | When click the second icon (Display Mode) of the Outliner you can change the Layer View to Data API.

The idea is to give [[XML:File_types#BINA.2FOBJC|function objects (CJBO)]] a dynamic context menu, either by analyzing its given collection name and/or further tags/properties given to the object. | The idea is to give [[XML:File_types#BINA.2FOBJC|function objects (CJBO)]] a dynamic context menu, either by analyzing its given collection name and/or further tags/properties given to the object. | ||

==Proof of concept== | |||
Unorthodox but could be effective. | |||
Blender, drag'n'drop event of an oni file -> | |||
context aware conversion manager.exe -> | |||
OniSplit.exe -> | |||
Blender continues to run, converted files get read by python scripts, these are chosen based on what four letter file prefix the oni file had | |||
For example this would greatly automate level modding. | |||
Objects would be tagged and placed on suitable layers. (CJBO management.) | |||
This could replace the outdated XSI workflow and its addon. | |||

4) Deciding how to distribute this Blender variant. | |||
Long-term goals could be to include Delano's addon and provide a way to automate the updating of Blender with these extras. | |||
==Notes for further customizations== | |||
* Catching getActive Events would be interesting. | |||
* '''[https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/41533/how-to-remotely-run-a-python-script-in-an-existing-blender-instance Blender Server]''' | |||
* Globals are located in | |||
BKE_global.h | |||
The files close to main would need to be edited if Blender shall became a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i9HkIT0Atg single-instance application]. If started with hypothetical "singleInstance" arg, that would allow a permanent ''command line communication''. | |||
