SporeModder FX v2.1.5

Solved critical bugfix relating packing. The interesting stuff is in v2.1.4

SporeModder FX v2.1.4

• Wherever a text file requires a color (e.g. in colorRGB properties, or in effects), SporeModder FX will now show you a tooltip of the color. And what's even better: Ctrl + Left Click the color text and a Color Picker will appear! (ignore the GIF quality, the gradient displays correctly)
  

• Improved Searching: Now there's a progress bar and a cancel button. Performance has also improved slightly.
  

• Packages inside packages: This feature is used by Spore to localize and translate mods. Now SMFX packs the nested packages automatically, so you can have all the translations of your mod in a single project:
  

• Speaking of languages, SMFX now supports UTF-8 encoding. Both reading and writing. Go translate your mod to Japanese.
  

• The SPUI Editor has been greatly improved:

  • Panning in the editor now works correctly, displaying parts of the SPUI that were clipped before.

• Unpacking DBPF (.package) files has been slightly optimized. It's around 30% faster in my computer. It improves more the more threads your CPU can have.

• TLSA files now work correctly
• Now it's possible to convert files from source projects by right-clicking them.
