Highlights for Version 1.0.166
- Mesh Merging is now available as a Beta Feature! This feature is targeted at advanced creators, so please read the detailed documentation prior to using the feature.
- This is Core's first example of a feature being released at a Beta stage. This means that it is still in development. It will be functional, but may have some rough edges.
- Mesh Merging allows creators to optimize their games by putting static geometry inside of a Merged Model. As the name implies, this will merge all of the geometry together so that multiple pieces can be rendered as a single unit.
- You can think of a Merged Model as telling Core "treat this item as a single unit". As Merged Models gain additional features over time, you will be able to leverage them automatically.
- To use this feature, select all of the items that you want to merge together in the hierarchy, right-click, and select "New Model Containing These". You can also create an empty Merged Model with "New Merged Model" and add things to it.
- If you put an item that cannot be merged into a Merged Model, don't worry, it will be automatically excluded from the merge and will display normally.
- Right now, items spawned at runtime cannot be merged.
- So if you have a template with a Merged Model in it and spawn that at runtime, the items will show up correctly, but will not be merged.
- Using Merged Models effectively requires a lot of thought about what players can view at any given time. Please reference the documentation for best practices.
Platform
- New: We added a section to the Create mode toolbar for tracking 3 key performance metrics. Publishing when the limits have been exceeded will result in a warning message. In the future, games which exceed either of these limits will be blocked from publishing,so we highly suggest getting your games under the limits.
- This is intended to more easily give creators visibility into cases where their game exceeds limits that may lead to poor performance.
- As part of this change, setting the Max Players for a game has been moved to this toolbar from the publish screen.
- Higher Max Players will lead to a lower limit for networked objects.
- Higher Max Players will lead to a higher limit for terrain complexity.
- New: Creators can now use the Game Settings object to resize and reposition the in-game chat window for their game.
- There is still an enforced minimum size for the chat window.
- New: Added advanced options on player settings to disable up/down movement for swimming and flying mode. These match the previous settings for the other directions.
- New: Added "Is Enabled" to the "Mounted" section in "PlayerSettings". Equivalent to setting
canMountfrom Lua. - New: The quest dialog will now display on Core Launch.
- Changed: The V-Sync checkbox is now always editable, regardless if the game is fullscreen/windowed mode.
- Changed: Only save for preview when starting multiplayer preview for faster single player preview.
- Changed: Friends that are online playing games will now be sorted to the top of your friends list.
- Changed: Corrupt or invalid materials will now show up as a default grid material.
- Changed: The teleporter component now only teleports players.
- Changed: We will now show fewer recommendations in your friends list if you already have 6 or more friends.
- Fixed: A crash when saving changes to a script via external editors while Core had uncommitted changes to that script's custom properties.
- Fixed: A crash when selecting lines of text in the script editor using the line numbers.
- Fixed: In-game UI appearing on loading screen.
- Fixed: Crashes when modifying an object's scale.
- Fixed: An issue where the "Buy more Credits" button in the store was not taking you to the credits screen.
- Fixed: Crash when spawning a projectile's template.
- Fixed: Toggling to Fullscreen using Alt-Enter restores the preferred fullscreen resolution instead of using the current window size.
- Fixed: Empty game portal script in "Dungeon Crawler" frameworks.
- Fixed: "Last Team Standing" framework lobby geometry collision.
- Fixed: An issue where local leaderboards are not shown in the leaderboard tab on project load for unpublished projects if the leaderboards tab is open on load.
API
- Added: An
Environmentnamespace with the following functions:IsClient()IsServer()IsMultiplayerPreview()IsSinglePlayerPreview()IsPreview()IsLocalGame()IsHostedGame()
- Fixed: Lua errors (and script debugger crash) in CoreObjectReference == metamethod.
