Release Notes

Version 0.7.33 Nov 22, 2020

• adds 3 buttons to the top bar of the property dialog,
• - minus sign (deletes an object),
• keyboard (show hide the property dialog keyboard) allowing you to rename objects, enter numeric values, etc.
• “finger/browse” which will pop up a browser similar to the file browser, but looks at objects in the zone. Button for this is there but it is not hooked up yet

Version 0.7.34 Nov 27, 2020

• Implements "zoneBrowser" - this is a popup on the property editor which lets you select and edit the properties for any object - not just those you can see.

Version 0.7.36 Dec 2, 2020

• The "change parent" button is experimental and may or may not work. You cannot reparent to anything other than a composite and it gives no indication of this - and the object may jump or reorient badly
• There is as yet no confirm dialog for delete, but the delete button is moved to a safer location
• Implement enhanced buttons for doing stuff on property dialog. Property dialog now shows both the path and the parent path and has obvious buttons for modifying the parent, deleting the object, and changing the object you are editing. These functions have been moved off the ribbon

into the main dialog area and enhanced with labels to make it obvious what is going on. Only the KB button remains on the ribbon

Version 0.7.39 Dec 10, 2020

• Resurrect the visual edit mode, and make this an explicit mode on the edit palette. When edit is selected, go to this mode, which allows the interactive adjustment of things like lights.
• Implement rotate and translate on the light rep, patch this through to the relevant object properties
• Fix a problem where property editor changes to the light properties didn't go immediately into the light, but required a zone reload
• Add artwork for the visual edit mode
• Load textures referenced by .daes from the tex sub-folder, if they exist there. If they do not exist, load them from the containing folder as before

Version 0.7.40 Dec 16, 2020

• Teleport now has send location and send rotation properties. These set how the viewer will be positioned and their direction of view at the destination of the teleport action. If these are not set (checkbox is not checked) the user will teleport to the default location and orientation for the destination zone (the spawn point)

Version 0.7.41 Dec 16, 2020

• Disable polygon (which caused crashes on new)
• Remove "system objects" like representations from browsable objects in the zone browser. Changing the edit object and parent now make more sense

Version 0.7.42 Dec 17, 2020

• Comprehensively clean up the new object menu by editing the various *Intrinsics.xml files, which control where objects appear in menus
• Remove the representation stuff, which was confusing and had crept into the menus
• Re-enable newing of skybox, which lazzaro had complatined "he can't find anywhere"
• Generally rejig the new menu so it makes more sense and is more like it should be

Version 0.7.46 Dec 23, 2020
