Forum

- Accompanying this update, there is now a Known Issues thread.
-- We'll keep this up to date to reduce duplicate posts and keep everyone aware of code/data problems.
-- This will be used for crashes / unintended behaviour. Not feature requests.

- We'll note fixes for "Known Issues" separately from now on
-- This should make it more clear if certain critical issues are supposed to be fixed in an update or not


Fixed Known Issues

- Selecting the Root Template field in Stats Editor no longer crashes the Engine

- Exporting a terrain to a root template crashed because the operation was not supported. Disabled the export option accordingly

- Effects Editor no longer crashes when pressing "Toggle auto scroll vertically" for any graph with same start and end value

- Effects Editor no longer crashes when doing move/scale past 128:00 on the timeline

- Fixed possible crash when removing Stats from a Character

- The following Stats Editor files do not have a Using category and "derive" has been disabled accordingly ("override" still supported):
-- ItemColors
-- TreasureGroups
-- ItemProgressionVisual
-- Requirements
-- Equipment
-- Data


General

- Sometimes new levels were created as "read-only". This should not happen anymore.

- More long path support (failed editor operations due to file paths longer than 230 characters). E.g. renaming levels/projects.

- Tags now (re)set properly when changing a root template

- Creating level templates can now automatically create a root template

- Game/Engine resources should not be modded. Pop-up now informs accordingly and overriding is disabled
-- An in-engine fix to avoid existing mods with already altered data to still override resources will be part of the next game patch
-- This also fixes the issue where combining mods with extensive icon changes could end up with blank icons
-- If your mod altered game/engine resources and you feel this was necessary, please let us know in the forum and we'll look for solutions there

- You can no longer create projects called "Game" or "Engine"


UI/Layout

Fixed Known Issues
