Summary
3D Model Selector Overhaul
In preparation for the Warships of the Pacific release, the model selector within the equipment and division designers has been updated. This update changes how the game handles 3D model views, specifically affecting the 'model' (large view), 'model_preview' (selection preview), and 'model_list' (thumbnails) views.
Modding Impact
This update introduces breaking changes for modders who have customized 3D camera settings. Modders must now migrate their settings from legacy files to a new, more granular file structure located in hoi4/game/gfx/3dviewenv/. If no action is taken, mods will default to the native 1.17.5.0 camera settings.
