[Soc-2013-dev] Weekly Report #3 BGE LoD and Bug Fixing

[Daniel Stokes]

To clarify, the script will search the scene based on the selected object's
name, and try to setup the lod levels based on the names of other objects.
Naming conventions that work with this script are any that begin or end in
LOD# (where # is the number of the lod level with 0 being the highest
detail object). The key term is case insensitive, so you can use lod# or
LOD#. The key is to be consistent so the script can find your objects. I
will write up some more detailed documentation on this. I just wanted to
make sure people did not think that this script will automatically create
the necessary objects for lower levels of detail.

Regards,
Daniel Stokes
