Also fixes handling of metal materials during bakes to render properly, and fixes a possible double-up return in findObjectByType, which could cause doubling when getting probes in the scene
having spoken with several endusers, artists and reviewing toolchains and augments to the systems in place, we'll be shifting the smooth|ao|metalness pbrconfigmaps on over to ao|roughness|metalness maps
first up, proper brdfTexture
Changes the saving of postfx from saving via the editor to instead save on level save
Reorganizes the core postfx folder to subfolders for better organization, as well as moving the shaders to group with the respective postFX
Changes the postfx editor so it only edits postFXs that are actively enabled in the scene, and only saves out similarly.
Adjusts the level download logic to pass asset id for both data compactness compared to the full level filename, as well as easier lookup reference for associated files like the postFX preset file or decal files from the asset def.
Updated the PostFXAsset template to provide an up-to-date starting point/template.
Fixed RMB menu on multi select objects in the Scene Tree so it will properly display the full list of actions
Fixed up several spots of editor settings fields being incorrect copy-pastes
Integrated AssetBrowser tool into the standard initSettings hook-through for proper default settings integration
Added Editor Theme settings to the default value init'ing of the World Editor
Shifted exec of editor settings default values as part of the initial editor load to ensure that if the settings.xml is deleted, theme info reverts back to the default
Integrated Convex Editor's settings into new EditorSettings window system
Added several missing World Editor settings to Editor Settings Window
Shifted every-frame RT allocation to be stored in advancedLightBinManager
Remove deprecated references to dynamicShadowMap in light materials
Updated spotLight shaders to remove deprecated dynamic shadowmap reference which was causing a crash when spotlights had shadows turned on
Added GLSL version of Viz_SurfaceProperties so it works on both APIs
Add reporting of used assets to tsStatics and TerrData
When saving a Scene, it will write static object asset dependencies to it's levelAsset
Shifted level loader logic to pass up the levelAsset rather than full level path
Made it so when level is loading, the levelAsset loads its dependencies. When the level is ended, as part of cleanup, they are unloaded
Shifts defaultEditorLevel to be an actual asset and made the ToolsModule load assets
Fixes the Save As action to correctly save out to the new level asset
Fixed the autoLoadAssets logic to be cleaner and not manually check types
Removed extra, unused DefaultEditorFile file
kills off code folks haven't been using for years now, as well as a clamp to force the color into a 0-1 range. (hdr relies on >1.0 values for it's blur effect to populate)
scriptside:
1) HDRPostFX::onEnabled needs to test vs GFXFormatR16G16B16A16F, as that's what's getting returned by getBestHDRFormat()
2) AL_FormatToken shifted to that same GFXFormatR16G16B16A16F target format
3) tangental but somewhat related, we were doubling up refposition offsets in the boxproject
sourceside:
tweaked the capture code for probes to ensure that the "screengrab" and output cubemap formats were identical
Added initial behavior for ImageAssets to hold a list of GFX resources of different texture profiles to avoid mem leaks with incorrect-typed usages

Added function to ShapeAsset to get best-fit asset, allowing for fallbacks if the requested assetID is not found
Disabled fields for dynamic and static shadowmap refresh rates
Moved noShape model to core/rendering/shapes to place it in a more logical module position
Added an include to avoid undefined type compile error and removed unneeded semicolon from zone code
Added call to reload probe textures when a reloadTextures call is made
Adjusted default directional light shadowmap settings to not be as extreme
Added utility function to probe manager to allow any class to request a 'best fit' list of probes that would affect a given location, allowing other classes such as fog or particles to utilize IBL. Also updated probeManager's forward rendering to utilize same function to reduce code duplication.
Shifted shape loader code to utilize assimp for loader consistency and testing
Changed render bin used for SSAO postfx so it runs at the right time
Made Core_Rendering module scan for assets
Updated loose file references to a number of assets to follow proper formatting
Refactored asset import code to follow a more consistent object heirarchy structure on importing assets, allowing more reliable cross-referencing between inbound items
Updated asset import logic for materials/images so that they properly utilize ImageType. Images correctly save out the assigned image type, materials reference the images' type to know what map slot they should be used in. Importer logic also updated to better find-and-add associated images based on type.
Cleaned up a bunch of old, outdated code in the asset importer
Added initial handling for in-place importing of files without needing to process them through the UI.
Added ability to edit module script from RMB context menu if torsion path is set

Expanded TSStatic onInspect testcase to parse materialSlots and hook-in a specialized material field for editing/quick reference from the inspector
Adjusted expand behavior of guiTree to be more reliable
Added internal name 'stack' to inspectorGroup's stack child objects for easier access to add programatic fields
Removed redundant PreMult translucency type code

Fixed var when trying to bind the camera to the client
Added project setting field to dictate the default render mode between Forward or Deferred
Integrated MotionBlur PostFX into updated PostFX Editor paradigm and exposed the samples uniform as an editable field

Updated setting group name for vignette postFX
Shifted shaderCache to be in data/cache along with other cached files
Added helper function to replace strings in a file
Fixed ExampleCppObject asset to have correct loose file references
Adjusted editor default level logic so it can be modifed and then stored, as well as reset back to the original default
Fixed verve reference to root scene group
Adjusted location of a nonmodal gui profile so it loads at the correct time
Reorganized AssetBrowser loading and refresh logic so it doesn't stack multiple refresh requests back-to-back causing lag
Updated the search behavior to search not just the current address, but all child folders as well, making it far more useful
Initial work into zip and folder drag-and-drop asset importing support
Removed the import config setting for 'always display material maps' as it is redundant with the new importer context menu actions
Updated example asset type file
Ensured all asset types have proper handling for move, rename and delete actions
Fixed double-click behavior on folders in the AB
Fixed CPP asset preview
Added better logic to discern if a top-level folder belongs to a module or not in the AB directory browser
Added ability to convert a non-module top-level folder in the AB into a module

Made it so apply in PostFX editor no longer closes window
Work to re-add class visibility filters in editor
Added default terrianmat definition for warning_material
Corrected separator-h image path for a few GUI controls
Corrected SelectAssetPathWindow reference so it focuses the window right
Changed new asset window to work with new Select Path window and address system
Added call to force AssetBrowser to load/initialize when the tools are initialized(ensures anything utilizing assets in other tools don't have reference issues)
Standardized drag-n-drop move behavior in the Asset browser so dragging onto the folder tree and a folder in the browser both behave more predictably
If import config is set to not allow importing with errors, then the Done button is disabled when errors are detected
Updated the example assettype file for the AB
Fixed up move/delete/rename behavior for folders in AB
Begun full standardization of move/delete/rename actions for other asset types in AB
Added standardized call for New Asset field fillouts by letting the asset types populate them
Moved terrain block creation to the standard create call so it can accept other normal fields like resolution

New raycast console function to return back material of hit object
Moved GameObject logic to SceneObject and started fixing up of editor behavior to allow any SceneObject to be converted into a GO, along with all supported behavior such as instance-template management and spawning GO via drag-and-drop from AB
Fixed inspector field tooltip text to be positioned in inspector footer properly again
Drag and drop of shape asset attempts to drop at raycast position now, instead of just at the camera ray position
