FEATURES

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where the ion engine would consume fuel even without battery.
  • Fixed a bug where the fuel tanks would report the wrong height when resizing vertically.
  • Fixed a bug in the Settings dialog where the contents in the scroll view would overflow when the resolution was changed.
  • Fixed a memory leak in the designer related to part icons.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the game to revert to native resolution during loading screens for some players.

Changes Since 0.7.2.0

  • Fixed a bug in the Settings dialog where the contents in the scroll view would overflow when the resolution was changed.
  • Added a gyro power consumption property for Pedro16797
  • Several error handling improvements regarding the loading of subassemblies. This fixes a bug in which the game could fail to start when there is a subassembly that is not in the subassembly category and has a part type that cannot be found.
  • Fixed a bug where mods would fail to save if the mod project contained two materials with the same name.
  • Fixed a mod project bug where non-part-XML TextAssets could not be saved with the 'Save Selected Assets' button and made a tweak to prevent saving duplicate assets with that same button.
  • Updated designer part icons so that they can be loaded from the file system without being auto-generated or they could be loaded from a mod's resources (auto-generation is still the default). This is controlled via the "iconType" and "iconPath" attributes on a "DesignerPart" element. Icon type can be "Auto", "File", or "Resource".
  • Fixed a memory leak in the designer related to part icons.
  • Fixed a bug with the part model importer not setting up the test material on models in mod projects.
  • Updated the mod tools to include XML files containing information about the hierarchy and components for stock part prefabs.
  • Updated the part modifier script generation to specify the modifier type id, prefixed with the mod name to avoid any conflicts in the future.

Changes Since 0.7.2.1

  • Fixed a bug that would cause the game to revert to native resolution during loading screens for some players.
  • Subassembly icon generation (when not using the subassembly category) will now use all parts in the subassembly rather than just the first.
  • Changed the invalid XML character handling when prefixing custom part modifiers with the mod name in XML.
  • Fixed a bug in which two instances of a GameMod object could be created during initialization of a mod.

    I would love to see a simple fix for this update. Please remove texture offset limit of 0.95, for large parts it's too low, I can't think of any reason to keep it limited

    @SupremeDorian @Mrmaraunet I'll have to talk to Andrew, but I assume we will add a Mods button to the website when this release makes it out of beta.

    I'm assuming there will be an actual button on the website to go to the mods page after the full release of this update?
