for some reason why i can't import fbx files :/
like ever since version 4.0 blender just refuses to import any fbx files. which a lot of models ripped from games come in that format. so to workaround this issue i have to go back to either 3.9 or 4.0. import the fbx file. then make a save file of it. then go back to 4.2 and then append the contents of the save file into my current project. like why does this keep happening? why hasn't this been fixed yet. like for real i've tried several different fbx import addons for 4.2 and none of them worked either. maybe the python scripts just got all jumbled or something. i dunno. just a weird problem to begin with
