v2.2.9

v.2.2.9 (February 7, 2024)

Added: RGBA Vertex colors. You can now use the alpha value to get transluscent vertex coloring on your tiles if the tileset's Transparent option is enabled.

Added: Right-mouse painting option in Edit > Settings > Tilesets. This allows you to use the secondary color when pressing the right-mouse button.
Added: Select All (Ctrl+A) action in Painting panel to select all canvas. You can edit the keybinding in Edit > Buttons > Tilesets > Select All.

Added: "Link imported Tilesets" setting. This has always been active in the past, but now there is an option to disable it if you want.
Improved: Animated gltf/glb files with skinned objects should import better. Godot had issues importing them in some cases, but should work fine now.
Improved: Exported .obj files will have duplicate vt and vn data removed.
Improved: If a bone somehow has missing data, it will still attempt to load it.
Improved: Camera state before rendering movie will now be restored afterwards.
Improved: Adding new layers, objects, lights, and cameras in the Scene panel will place them after any currently selected item and will scroll them into view and select them in the list. Objects will be deselected after a second to prevent tilerush from changing.
Changed: Spotlight's shadow far value is removed due to Spotlight's distance value overriding it.
Fixed: If .obj was excluded from export filename on linux, it wouldn't export the .mtl and .png files.
Fixed: When loading scenes, some properties of lights would not get set correctly.
Fixed: Cloned lights wouldn't set their shadow properties correctly.
