How to use script

Script (rename_bones.py) is originally made by Modder4869#4818, simplified by LeoMods for easier use.

1. Import the base fbx model using BetterFBX. FBX model files can be found in GI-Assets
2. Import the corresponding 3dmigoto dump using GIMI. 3dmigoto dump files can be found in GI-Model-Importer-Assets
3. Make sure the armature is selected
4. Run the script
5. If nothing goes wrong, the script should rename all the bones in the armature to the corresponding bone names in the 3dmigoto dump
6. Recursive delete unused data blocks (optional)
