Support for Story of Seasons .bum format possible? #72

less of a bug with this program, but more of a reaching out in assistance if its possible

Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life was once a gamecube game that used the whole .arc system files, the remake on the switch is slightly different, new tools have been made to unzip the files in the game, and it appears the remake is the same underlying gamecube game under the hood, but it turns out this game has always had a slightly unique model format in the .bum fil format, all things considered, it SHOULD be related to bmd/bdl, as they are model files that contain animations, as much as I can gather from looking inside them with a hex editor, and the original files are from the gamecube era

i did try renaming one of them to bmd and running the plugin, and it appears blender hangs and freezes and has attempting for roughly an hour or so, not exactly crashing, but it appears to be attempting to read something, instead of just crashing immediately/being totally incompatible, and i see similar issues for other bmd formats hanging blender in the issues section

I wonder if you might have any knowledge or experience in being able to see exactly what is different about the .bum format, compared to bmd/bdl, or if it actually the same format just a different name under it all? any insight would be appreciated

I have pushed a patch for a fixing a bug that caused BleMD to hang, about half a day ago. Does this fix your problem with the .bmd/.bdl files?

As for the .bum file, I have never encountered any before, tell me if this change helped importing it, and what still doesn't work.
