Update on broken HSR mods

Newer mods for the most part, either got fixed by the 1st script or will be fixed with subsequent releases, I'm referring to broken faces and other minor glitches. I have spoken to some devs and I already have a pretty good idea of which mods will be fixed and which ones will need a lot more work.

I've been contemplating what to do with them, since I had a couple options:

• Manually try to fix the inis.

• Re-export them.

The 1st would be the easiest one, but it would likely result in very messy inis and that might lead to trouble down the line if another big change gets implemented.

I decided to go with the 2nd one and update them to the current XXMI format. Re-exporting all of the mods will require a stupid amount of work but it would also have some benefits:

• Inis will be a lot cleaner, avoiding the mess that we needed to use prior to the development of the XXMI tools.

• Would reduce the size of the mods significantly.

• Could in theory enable extra toggles on some mods.

• Could result in some improvements to older mods overall.

• Is likely that with the current export format they can avoid being casualties once again if we have another modpocalypse.

I won't likely be making any edits to the mesh itself, otherwise the time needed for each one would be even higher. However if textures can be improved, they'll be.

I'll be releasing these mods as early access as I work on them for current supporters only for the first 2 weeks, they'll become public after that and I'll update the posts on GB as needed.

So just as a heads up, this will take time. I'll be starting with the characters with the most mods and go down from there.

I also read some guides are being made on how to manually fix inis, so if you do not want to wait you can give it a try. Just keep in mind it might not be the easiest thing to do.

Also, like I've mentioned before, be cautious with random stuff promising a fix. If the script released by the AGMG devs did not fix merged mods is unlikely that another one will. This will require manual fixing.

Sorry for the wall of text.
