cpt_onscasse

This tool is a coloring tool for SCM files, it's very easy to use it, just look the basic interface.

This is when you give it a SCM file alone

1) set object color : it means to set object colors for the SCM file.
2) export color pattern : it means to export the existing color from a SCM object to a file (to re-use it later).
3) this is the two previous actions into one choice.

Then, admitting that you modified your object in 3D Studio MAX, you'll have to re-export it to ASE and re-generate your SCM file, losing the color pattern, this is a big problem with very big objects. That's why cpt_onscasse permit you to re-import previously exported color pattern (this is the export first goal :))

Look at what happen when you drop a SCM file and a .cpt file (CPT stands for Color PaTtern).

4) import color pattern appeared and this option will permit you to re-insert your previous object color into the new modified one. You just have to select a .scm and a .cpt file and drop them on cpt_onscasse.exe, it'll automatically make the difference between them and do the good operations.

Now the coloring and naming way.

You can change or set objects new colors and name, when you'll process a SCM file, cpt_onscasse will retrieve every current information and will write it on the screen, thus you'll be able to change it or just keeping the default values by pressing enter key without any text nor numbers.

Here, you can see that I colored a chair object, with Support object and Pieds (the chair feet), previous values were the originally exported ones (0xFFFFFFFF) and I didn't change the names (purple).
