Vehicle XML Previewer

The Vehicle XML Previewer is a handy script for modders that lets you preview and configure vehicle XML settings directly within GIANTS Editor, without having to constantly launch the game. It automatically detects the XML file associated with the currently open I3D model, displays available configurations, animations, and hoses, and applies selected options immediately in the viewport – significantly speeding up the vehicle configuration process.

Features:

• Automatically loads the XML file matching the open I3D file
• Displays all detected vehicle configuration categories
• Quick option switching with immediate visual feedback
• Supports configurationSets and automatic dependencies between configurations
• Applies objectChange logic to hide unselected and show selected parts
• Supports color and material configurations defined in the XML
• Loads external I3D parts via dynamicallyLoadedParts
• Displays wheel configurations, external wheel XMLs, additional wheels, and tracks
• Preview and edit XML-defined animations directly in the editor
• Supports previewing and editing connectionHoses and localHose elements
• Create, modify, and save hoses within the XML
• Highlights selected hoses and connection points for easy identification
• Compact, tabbed interface: Configurations, Animations, Hoses

Installation: Extract the VehicleXMLPreviewer folder into the GIANTS Editor scripts directory, e.g. C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor 64bit 10.0.13\scripts. The script will then appear under Scripts > User Scripts > VehicleXMLPreviewer.

Usage: Open the vehicle's I3D file in GIANTS Editor, run the Vehicle XML Previewer, and select the desired configurations, animations, or hoses. Changes are visible instantly in the viewport. It is recommended to back up your project before saving any changes to the XML file.
