==Tool 08030 LevelCleanUp==
==Tool 08030 LevelImporter==
The "Level Importer" is essentially a combination of Onisplit, build.cmd, and cleanup/unzip logic, designed to provide an easily extendable modding structure.
<!--
As there will be no full-fledged level recycler tool in foreseeable near future, I going to update lab demo level instead. The build.cmd was never fully working because of missing marker textures not getting copying. While fixing also an issue of an animated texture, I'm additionally adding a tool to clean up artifacts from the furniture.xml because the produced warnings in the console are annoying if not misleading for novice modders. These OFGAs never shipped with the final version of the game.

To make the entry into level modding even easier, the demo level should be part of a tool package. So it can be instantly be edited. Also, this would avoid a scenario of where a new modder unpacks the zip the wrong way. Sometimes the zip filename is taken as most top created folder.-->

===Notes for another update===
Nasty road blocker: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccrypto/cryptography-tools Smart App Control].
To make the entry into level modding even easier, the demo level should be part of a tool package. So it can be instantly be edited. Also, this would avoid a scenario of where a new modder unpacks the zip the wrong way. Sometimes the zip filename is taken as most top created folder.
 
Options:
* Deactivate
* Use code signing
* Use Framework 4.7.2 as it is less often triggered than 4.8
 
Behavior:
* Lab demo gets automatically unpacked during first run.
 
There is a cleanup arg to avoid the creation of two executables. Therefore the build.cmd needed another update compared to the initial idea.

On release, the [http://mods.oni2.net/node/299 original lab] page should be edited to direct users to the new tool page.
Right now the LevelImporter.exe runs without triggering the Smart App Control. So, I will release it to do further live-testing.


Delete 08030 page when it becomes obsolete.
On "final" release, the [http://mods.oni2.net/node/299 original lab] page should be edited to direct users to the new tool page.
