fill gaps between vertex groups

[ChouDan6]

Feature Request

Similar to WWMI-Tools, I would like to request an enhancement where, during export, the tool can automatically fill gaps between vertex groups (for example, isolated or discontinuous vertex group regions), without modifying the actual Blender mesh geometry.
The goal is to make weight painting and vertex group filtering more efficient, especially for complex characters.
I have already tried several approaches on my own, but I was unable to achieve this behavior reliably without affecting the mesh or workflow.
This feature would significantly save time when adjusting weights and managing vertex groups for modding purposes.

Bug Report

When exporting ZZZ mods using Blender 4.4 with version 163 of the tool, some characters experience abnormal UI lag or stuttering in the game (for example, when opening character-related interfaces).
I found that this issue can be mitigated by either:
Exporting the mod using Blender 3.6, or
Commenting out certain first index lines in the generated files
This suggests a possible compatibility or export logic issue specific to Blender 4.4 and the current version.

The automatic vertex group filling during export (implemented via a newly added Python script), as well as the automatic application of ORFix (by modifying the template files), have already been implemented on my side.
You can see these changes in my fork, although the implementation is rather rough and inelegant.

The orfix auto application is planed to be added via the /GIMI/SetTextures syntax.

As for the fill vg gaps that tends to be offered as a tool instead of an export feature. I will evaluate which of the two if not both is wroth adding since I know its a contested issue for makers.

As for the bug i will need a diff between the ini exported in 3.6 and 4.4 to evaluate the cause of the issue. It might be simply a jinja parsing problem

Resource\GIMI\NormalMap = ref ResourceChascaBodyNormalMap
Resource\GIMI\Diffuse = ref ResourceChascaBodyDiffuse
Resource\GIMI\Lightmap = ref ResourceChascaBodyLightMap
run = CommandList\GIMI\SetTexture

ps-t0 = ResourceChascaBodyNormalMap
ps-t1 = ResourceChascaBodyDiffuse
ps-t2 = ResourceChascaBodyLightMap
run = CommandList\global\ORFix\ORFix

Thanks, when exporting a mod, is it possible to support letting the user choose between these two INI file styles?

We will likely default to the top format and if someone needs the old they can adapt their template for it
