while it still remains a good idea to port as many NULL compares and assignments over to nullPtr as feasable, we do still need to sort out how to better support scripted empty, false, and zero assigns for things like objectIDs.
this means we'll need to both fully convert the backend of the parser to support that kind of thing, but also alter most if not all exisiting NULLs. up to and including things like SAFE_DELETE. while that's certainly feasable, given there's aproximatel 400 nullptr assigns/checks prior to this commit, and roughly 1800 of the prior, if it terminates in a script call and not an aip one direct, we'll be dialing that back until such time as fork fully fopcused on converting and resolving any lingering mismatches is completed.
Renames validateImportingAssets to hasImportIssues for AssetImporter console method for clarity
Updated console method documentation for AssetImporter methods
Fixed logical error for material asset generation if the import config was set to use existing materials but one was not found.
Fixed logical error when a shapeFile has a material with a texture mapped to it is not in the same directory as the shape, it would not correctly find the texture
Adjusts AssetImport window logic so it will display the window in the event of import issues being detected, or the asset is being re-imported.
Updates the AssetImport window activity log to use the new AssetImporter's log for consistency.
Processed core, tools and default modules to utilize assets
Converted all console types that were string based, such as TypeImageFilename to utilize const char*/the string table, which avoids a lot of type swapping shenanigans and avoids string corruption
Removed unneeded MainEditor mockup module
Removed some unused/duplicate image assets from the tools
Fixes name handling when finding associated image files on materials
Makes parseImageSuffix return back the case-correct suffix given the image's filename
Fixes import session reset logic to not have infinite looping happen when activated if files are in the session still(used mainly when import config is changed)
Makes sure materials are not processed if they are found in the import config's ignoreMaterials list
Makes sure active import config is properly on importer when it's changed in the Import window
Tweaked asset browser folder filtering logic so it always rejects .git folders from displaying, and also made the core, tools, cache and shaderCache filtering behavior consistent
Fixed navigation of root-level folders if double-clicking on them through the main window
Ensured import session is reset after an import happens so no extra files are left over in the importer's list
Fixed sizing issue for material asset ptr fields
Fixed type of comment in Particle Asset
Hooked GLSL and HLSL shader files to be proper asset loose files for PostEffectAsset
Adjusted some default values for default ImportConfig
Corrected field type of multiple fields for the importConfig
Corrected loading of PopulateMaterialMaps config setting from config file
Corrected field types of multiple fields for AssetImportObjects
Exposed several utility fields for the Importer to script
Added ability to create an AssetImportObject in script and add it to the Importer's current session
Ensured stable naming behavior(replacing spaces, -, and . in names with _
Improved getAssetTypeByFile logical lookup so it doesn't accidentally grab cached.dts files
Added ability to hard reset an import session, wiping all inbound files for a full reset
Added ability to process DTS files to shape import so it can parse out content such as materials for associated asset imports
Added better handling for shape materials that are just colors
Added callback hook-in so if the importer doesn't have a defined function for importing a given asset type, it'll try calling down into the editor
Stabilized imageAsset processing logic when generating a material for it
Improved imageType lookup/processing logic in Importer
Improved logic for binding in associated image files to materialAssets
Improved logic for processing shapes to get related materials and images, ensuring better likelyhood of finding and associating related assets
Cleaned up validation logic
Added ability to properly look up the editor's default import config if it's set to be used for autoimport
Improved handling of originalFilePath logic, so if it's an in-place import, it doesn't bother populating the field
Set default UP axis value on shape importing to ensure better default behavior
