This change improves compile time, like, for realsies. From minutes to 20 seconds tops. All credit should go to the french developing team @JohnsonJackblue is part of, they where the ones who discovered this!
Merging with master from parent
…d of cubes. On the next commit I will show how to delete this added static meshes instances when a render chunk is no longer rendered. The reason this is such a clean commit, and the next is coming soon is that this feature had already been developed a few months ago, with the help of @JohnsonJackblue and even the help of @AndrewScheidecker himself, who pointed us both to the obvious: Why try to hardcode the vertex positions like Minecraft did when we could just place UInstancedStaticMeshComponents instead, using the bricks coordinates as grid. Well, that has been done now, and will be updated in the next commit too. Cheers!

changed the title
…up to 255 available options, where if the selected material index is bigger than Parameters.Materials.Num() then it is considered the index of a complex brick and then a complex brick is spawned. Now an invisible block is placed where the complex block is, so that new blocks can be placed on top of it as if it were a normal block.
…o avoid changing them later when they surpass the lenght of Paramenters.Materials, to zero.
…deleted using right click.

Its done! Ready for merge! Pic where it can be seen that the complex brick is treated as a normal one, and adjacent bricks can be placed on top of it. About the correct deletion and restore of the complex bricks once a render chunk is deleted and restored... you will have to take my word up for it! :) |

Fixes #29 by using a cleaner version of my ComplexShapes branch, ComplexMeshes2.
Dont merge the PR yet, I have yet to commit the deletion of the instanced meshes once a render chunk is deleted. Once thats done, we are good to go. Will do so in an hour or two. Cheers!
