v2.6.0

[p]v.2.6.0 (August 25, 2025)[/p]

[p]Added: Russian language by Exyd_Spraim (Prokhorov Konstantin / Прохоров Константин). Thank you for the contribution![/p]
[p]Added: New Boolean and Enumerator value types for Object/Instance custom data.[/p]
[p]Added: Global custom data variables for Objects/Instances in a project.[/p]
[p]Added: Each tileset now has an "Allow Refresh" button that toggles whether it can be refreshed or not. So if changes to the tileset are made in another program, this can control if it gets updated in Crocotile.[/p]

[p]Improved: Some Gui formatting issues were improved when using another language.[/p]
[p]Improved: Various text in program weren't loading the translated version when choosing a different language. If some still aren't loading, it might not be translated yet.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Duplicating object instances would lag when there were a lot of objects/instances in the scene.[/p]
[p]Fixed: "Import Scene" would fail to import objects in unchecked layers that were inside other layers.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Spray Can button had undefined text when hovered with mouse.[/p]
[p]Fixed: In some cases when loading a scene, bones could be positioned incorrectly.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Object instances that were nested within the root bone/skeleton wouldn't get nested when loaded.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Search in keybindings panel wouldn't work with some languages.[/p]
[p]Updated: nw.js to a newer version. Might improve random issues.

v2.5.9

[p]v.2.5.9 (July 18, 2025)[/p]

[p]Added: "Zoom Tileset" keybinding for zooming tilesets via a mouse button and key. To set binding, go to: Edit > Buttons > General > Zoom Tileset.[/p]

[p]Added: "Display Less Vertices" option in Edit > Settings > Edit Mode. When enabled, it will attempt to display less unselected vertices.[/p]
[p]Fixed?: "Auto refresh Tilesets" setting would sometimes fail to refresh tilesets or even fail to work at all for some users.[/p]
[p]Fixed: "Deselect when single-clicking" option wouldn't deselect a selected face/object/edge/etc that was clicked on, causing it to remain selected.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Was still able to click vertices behind cameras/lights if "Camera Based when single-clicking" was enabled.[/p]
[p]Fixed: If attempted to close program while a panel with greyed out background was open, it would prevent any further attempts at closing the program even if panel wasn't open. [/p]
[p]Fixed: Spot selecting/deselecting would work on tiles outside of object edit mode even if "Object Mode Constraint" option was enabled.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Rebinding the "Toggle Object Mode" action twice wouldn't unbind it the second time. [/p]

v2.5.8

[p]v.2.5.8 (July 1, 2025)[/p]

[p]Added: "Vertex Color Spot" keybinding. Will color all 4 vertices of hovered tiles instead of nearest vertex when keybinding is held. Can be set in Edit > Buttons > Draw mode.[/p]

[p]Improved: Scenes with many Objects/Instances will load/unload much quicker now. There were some redundant operations causing long loading times.[/p]
[p]Improved: "Paint/Erase Selected Vertex Colors" and "Select/Deselct Vertices using current Color" actions will now also work while Painting panel is in focus.[/p]

[p]Added: "File Dialog Paths" setting has new "Scene" option. This will make all file dialog boxes default to the current scene's file directory.[/p]

[p]Added: "Save/Load Camera Settings" in the Edit > Settings > Project section. If set, it will load the far frustum and fov values of the camera that was saved in the project file.[/p]
[p]Added: "Nest Selected" option in the Scene panel instance contextmenu. This will add all the selected instances/bones in scene as children.[/p]

[p]Added: "Select All Bones"(ctrl+shift+A),"Deselect All Bones"(ctrl+shift+D) keybindings for selecting/deselecting all bones. These can be changed in Edit > Buttons > General section.[/p]
[p]Improved: "Auto refresh Tilesets" setting now works without having to refocus Crocotile.[/p]
[p]Improved: Reparenting instances/bones should result with less issues.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Changing the nesting of bones would cause the pose of a Skinned object to mess up in certain situations.[/p]
[p]Fixed: The process of undocking the side panel would cause two prompts to appear when exiting program instead of just one.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Selecting the blank action from the Action list for multiple entities wouldn't work unless first selecting another action.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Renaming multiple actions and then selecting the renamed action from the Action list for multiple entities would fail to change their current action.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Marquee selection of bones that were nested within instances wouldn't work while editing an object that those instances were nested within.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Vertex color rectangle fill wasn't accurate when display of monitor was scaled different, or if the viewport resolution was changed.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Rendering movie clips in png or jpg format would cause a crash.[/p]
[p]Fixed: Viewport would need a click first to place rectangle fills for the first time when starting Crocotile.[/p]
