v2.3.9

v.2.3.9 (July 23, 2024)

Added: "Mirror Separately" and "Flip Separately" actions in the UVs panel context menu. This will mirror/flip each selected UV part separately and not as a group.
Added: "Mirror Separately" (Alt+R) and "Flip Separately" (Alt+F) keybindings available while UVs panel is focused. You can also rebind these actions in the Edit > Buttons panel.
Added: "Keep Instance Names Unique" option in the Edit > Settings > Scene. This option will prevent duplicate Instance names.
Fixed: In some rare cases a bug could have prevented saving or exporting due to a material becoming null.
Fixed: Tile Splitting value was clamped to the UV Tilesize values. Now it is set irrespective of the UV Tilesize values.
Fixed: "Export Static Pose" and "Use Single Mesh" options in Export panel weren't working correctly in some cases.

Remember to report any bugs you may encounter!

v2.3.8

v.2.3.8 (July 9, 2024)

Improved: Tiles will have vertices aligned more precisely and with less floating point errors when placed into the scene. This should reduce the likelihood of small gaps forming.
Fixed: Baking lights would crash the app if the scene constisted of just a plane of tiles or lacked dimension in one or more axis.
Fixed: Sticky brush wouldn't be angled correctly when holding Shift key in some cases.
Fixed: Sticky tool should size tiles more appropriately if "Sticky Edge Proportionate" is enabled.

v2.3.7 & v2.3.7b

v.2.3.7b (June 20, 2024)

Fixed: The properties panel for Lights/Cameras wouldn't display all the properties.

v.2.3.7 (June 9, 2024)

Added: Cameras, Lights, and their Targets can now be parented to an Object instance or Bone.
Added: Audio files can now be linked into the project and provide a basic way to get sound played in the Animation/Theatre panels. Choose "Add Audio" in the Scene panel dropdown menu. Then open the properties of the Audio item to set how it plays.
Added: "Duplicate" action for duplicating a bone or instance.
Added: "Duplicate All" action for duplicating a bone or instance and any nested bones or instances.
Added: "Mirror" action for mirroring a bone or instance, or their animations.
Added: "Mirror All" action for mirroring the properties or animations of a bone/instance and any nested bones/instances.
Added: "Select/Deselect Vertices using current Color" keybinding to the Edit > Buttons > Edit Mode panel.
Added: "Select Overlapping Faces" keybinding to the Edit > Buttons > Edit Mode panel.
Improved: Selecting/deselecting Bones now have their corresponding items highlighted in the Scene panel.
Improved: Duplicating any Object Instances will now also duplicate any animations that it has.

v2.3.6

v.2.3.6 (April 18, 2024)

Added: "Select Overlapping Faces" action in the Edit mode context-menu. Right-click the viewport in Edit mode and go to Faces > Select > "Select Overlapping Faces" to use this action.
Improved: Dragging a vertex will now choose a selected vertex first if dragging from a group of overlapping vertices. If none are selected, it will choose a vertex belonging to a selected face. If no faces are selected, it will just choose the first unselected vertex.
Fixed: If vertex color space was set to sRGB, it wouldn't export vertex colors correctly in the .DAE format.
Fixed: If "Disable Vertex Selection" was enabled you would still be able to select/move vertices with WASD keys if mouse hadn't moved after clicking it.
Fixed: If importing a model with an extension that used capital letters, it would fail to load.

v2.3.5

v.2.3.5 (March 21, 2024)

Added: Exporting Dae files with vertex colors will now include the alpha value.
Added: Render Movie panel now has background color options for Gif format, including a transparent option.
Added: "Use Transparent mode for Tilebrush" to Edit > Settings > Draw mode. If this is enabled, the Tilebrush will use the same transparent mode of the Tileset.
Improved: Importing models should handle nested meshes better. The imported model will still be combined into one object however.
Improved: Steam users that run Crocotile without Steam running can activate Crocotile after logging into Steam (without closing Crocotile). Previously, Steam had to be running first before starting Crocotile.
Fixed: When selecting UV animations, the tilebrush wouldn't display any changes, making it unclear which UV animation was currently chosen.
Fixed: Exported .obj files would sometimes create wrong texture dimensions when using the power of 2 option and possibly in other cases too.
Fixed: Reset button in Spin Gif panel wasn't resetting the color.
