The new model viewer allows modders to look at a DAT-file like as if it was rendered in game. Well not entirely because it's still very simple but it's a start. Obviously I don't intend to support everything the game does, which would be stupid anyway (I'm not trying to make a new game here). It gives the modder the ability to change things, and directly see what they changed visually, without the need to fire up the game to see what the result was. It is basically a huge time saver... And time is as we all know, sparse.
Now they can start to
waste time on more important matters like full modded interiors
