Confirmed. Still happens on current master:

Sorry to go off-topic, but how do I view the M3 properties and layers in the latest version of your add-on?

[Talv]

Materials of type MADD don't have any layers. Or at least they don't have clearly defined layers. It's a dynamic format, not understandable by this plugin and not support beyond being able to tell the material name - which is the reason why nothing else is shown.

You can even refer to the comment of Blizzard developer about it [1]

While it unlocks a lot of new features and possibilities for us, its saved data doesn't make a lot of sense outside of the game client, and with much of it being transformed when the file is loaded it isn't really human readable in the M3 file.

OK, maybe I could alternate between the latest version and a version before the MADD fix?

OR, is it possible to change the material type from MADD to Standard?

I don't see how would that help with anything.

OR, is it possible to change the material type from MADD to Standard?

No. The proper way would be to simply make new material, and assign it to the mesh in place of the one that came with the model. And well, remake everything - link textures etc. That's the only way if the intention is to re-export the model in a version of .m3 that SC2 would understand.

OK, I'll close this issue before it drags out anymore. I should be good for now.
