With the help of the SFRipper staff members, we've managed to completely overhaul how the tool works and functions, while maintaining the same, simplistic GUI.
SketchfabRipper updated
Changed the branding to match our current staff team logo.
Implemented Changelog updates through the sfConfigUpdater.
Updated old communication links that expired and replaced them with a permanent solution that is dynamic & can self update directly from our server.
Better obfuscation provided for some parts of the code for greater security.
Rewrote 40% of the code, replacing old functions with better ones, changed & improved plugin support for future updates, removed old and outdated functions altogether, leading to a much optimized product.
Deeper implementation with Unscrambler, sfConfigUpdater and future plugins (~30% faster).
Fixed (most) models that were stuck when applying animations & vertex colors.
SketchfabRipperCmd updated
Fixed bug where it would get stuck on any step in the beginning of the processing.
Better implementation with sfConfigUpdater due to SketchfabPlugin bug updates & fixes.
Better spacing between usage parameters.
Unscrambler updated
Added new conditions for recently added servers due to community reports of slow processing (it won't check all of the servers if it doesn't need to).
Fixed (most) blocky textures appearing fuzzy/blurred in Blender preview.
Added more material support (such as height maps and AO maps hosted on different SF servers).
Improved speed when unscrambling 8k textures, for < 4k textures it's similar.
sfConfig Updater improved
Changed the previously added sfConfig generation server as it was not working for our lads from: Turkey, Thailand, Greece, Egypt, Pakistan, Albania, etc.
Added 5 new external connections to sfConfig generation servers as a backup to Key2 (or when Key2 is expired/unavailable).
Removed unused code and replaced it with maintenance updates (through a Changelog.txt which will be created inside the "update_temp" with each update and/or bug fix.
Updated links, branding and server configuration.
SketchfabPlugin changes & fixes
Improved existing animation & rig logic for faster conversions.
Fixed "Fetching Key2 string..." issue (by updating the fixed servers with dynamic ones that self update, eradicating the problem entirely)
Fixed & improved communication with the sfConfigUpdater and Unscrambler tools.
Fixed the poorly implemented auto-update modules which were previously added.
Fixed the "ConvertToQuads" feature which was broken in the 1.18.3 update.
Fixed the "Rig" option which was not correctly implemented with the new functions from the 1.18.3 update, now it works as it should again.
Updated old code and replaced 15% of the functions.
