Josh Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 0.9.7 Publishing system has been added and should work. Model files have to be resaved to output a list of used materials in the metadata. Password must be manually entered in both the interface and your main.cpp file. Project password is not saved between sessions. Encryption for Lua projects is not yet supported. 1 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 0.9.7 Finished the packaging / encryption system. For C++ projects, a new password is generated and stored in both the project JSON file and the main.cpp source code file. For Lua projects, a Package:SetDefaultPassword method is used to set a secret password the Lua interpreter knows. Package::Restrict() (only available in C++) can be used to prevent Lua scripts from calling ReadFile or ExtractFile to directly read the contents of a password-protected file. Assets that are loaded from a password-protected zip file cannot be saved. This could be hacked in C++, but in order to read the file in the first place you would have to have the archive password, so it doesn't matter. New commands: Package::CountFiles Package::GetFileName Package::Get/SetComment Package::Get/SetFileComment GetMemoryUsage() now has an optional parameter to use the more precise method in debug builds. @Dreikblack LoadScene, LoadPrefab, and Scene::Save now accept an "extra" parameter that can pass any object to the component load or save method. Component::Save and Component::Load now have an extra parameter that must be added, or they will not get called when the scene is loaded: virtual bool Load(table& properties, shared_ptr<Stream> binstream, shared_ptr<Map> scene, const LoadFlags flags, shared_ptr<Object> extra); virtual bool Save(table& properties, shared_ptr<Stream> binstream, shared_ptr<Map> scene, const SaveFlags flags, shared_ptr<Object> extra); 2 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 0.9.7 Disabled z-sorting in the GUI system. This will produce much faster rendering performance when icons are used, but it could cause rendering errors if you have multiple overlapping transparent widget blocks, or icons on top of transparent panels, for example. Please let me know if there are any problems. Added World::GetSpeed method. My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 0.9.7 Some fixes to particle settings in the editor. Removed Publisher script extension so we can make it more secure before releasing. Fix to RecordCollisions() that will provide all collisions that occur. Added an Entity::GetMaterial method. This only returns a material for sprites, particle emitters, and decals. 2 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 0.9.7 This update only affects the editor. Not-yet implemented object types are now grayed-out in the scene browser popup add menu. Fixed some physics properties not being saved in scenes. Removed buoyancy setting from entity properties dialog, since it is not implemented yet. Fixed pick mode property affecting editor behavior. Updated component template to add entity property and Collide() method to C++ components. Changed order of effects objects. 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 0.9.7 Editor will now store the engine version in the project file, and if the version stored there doesn't match the current editor version, the project manager will be displayed at startup. This prevents the problem of projects showing bad graphics or even worse, crashing, when major updates with shader changes go out. Unlit shader family now supports material texture scrolling. 3 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 0.9.8 First build of new version is available on the dev channel. New C++ projects include randomized password generation code, so zip passwords are not stored in plain text in the executable. Passwords and data layout are unique for each project, and can be customized for added security. 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 0.9.8 String and WString Clear() is added, which acts like std::clear but zeroes out the memory before releasing it. Buffer::Clear will now clear the full internal capacity of the buffer. Component::Update will now execute after data is received from the physics thread, but before the next physics update begins. This eliminates one frame of latency and gives you a brief window during which the object's current orientation matches the physics simulation. Speaker::SetAudioFilter now works with constants for reverb filters, like AUDIOFILTER_REVERB_SEWERPIPE etc. The list of effects is not final and I would caution you against making any components using dropdown boxes with these yet because more will be added and the order could change. Added Entity::Collide() method, for static or swept collision testing of an entity against the world. Command syntax for Collider::Collide() is improved. Added Entity::AddBuoyancyForce(). 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 0.9.8 Project templates system is updated, split into language and game. Should be backwards compatible with existing projects. "First-person shooter template" is added, but only contains the default scene from previous builds. If you have the standalone version, I recommend deleting the "Templates" folder from your install directory before updating (or do an uninstall / reinstall from the client app). Existing projects from previous builds will display as coming from the "Blank Project" template. If you do not want to test the bleeding edge updates, this may be a good time for some people to switch from the beta branch onto the stable version 0.9.7. Please ensure you are using some kind of version control system to back up your projects. 2 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 0.9.8 AudioFilter enums are updated with more presets, and in the correct order. There will be more, but they will be added to the end of the list, and it is safe to start coding components with these. Some fixes, including particle velocities not being saved or loaded in scene files.

Josh Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 0.9.8 AmbientCG categories will now be alphabetized, but you must delete the cache files in C:\ProgramData\Ultra Engine\Asset Library\AmbientCG\Responses\categories.json I think I found what was occasionally causing lib files that would display messed-up entity matrices, seemingly randomly. Although it was removed from the VS filters file, there were a couple of references to some old Vulkan cpp files in the project file, that matched a file that would occasionally cause the compiler to stop and have to be run again. 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 0.9.8 Added particle emission shape and area, in the editor only. The editor itself can be run as a script execution tool now. If you pass a string parameter to the command line, the editor will execute the specified script and exit, without initializing the whole editor. Keep in mind this will only include the pure Ultra API, not the extended editor API.

Josh Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 0.9.8 Added prefab breaking in editor. I think the user interface is a little strange, but it works correctly. Using BC7 for probe specular maps, when possible. Most scene files that use a lot of probes will be about 8x smaller in size. Added right-click "Select" menu on group nodes in scene browser, to select all entities in the group and sub-groups. 2 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Josh Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM 0.9.8 The way prefabs are loaded has changed. Prefabs will now be loaded from the original scene data, rather than copied from a cached root entity. This will probably make component load calls more along the lines of what users expect. Flowgraph connections might get loaded from prefabs now. I'm not sure on the details of how those will work at the moment and it will probably take some experimentation to work it all out. 2 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
