Hey Beekeepers!

There's also a few new modding API methods added and some fixes, enjoy!

  • Removed signs from console build
  • Increased menu button hitbox size

  • Change xbox controls visual to match modern xbox controllers
  • Updated playstation controller visuals so its not in the 2000s

[h2]Modding[/h2]
  • Added api_draw_slots() which re-runs all slot rendering for a given menu
  • Added api_slot_redraw() which re-runs the slot rendering for a specific slot
  • Added api_slot_item_id() which returns the slot item as a special item id, i.e. a common bee would be bee:common, a filled frame would be frame:filled.
  • Added api_add_slot_to_menu() which lets you try and add the contents of a slot to a given menu (doesn't check validation)
  • Added api_slot_validate() which lets you check if a given item+stats combination can be added to a given slot, useful for the above method
  • Added api_inst_exists() which lets you check if an instance exists (nb: returns false if instance is "deactivated" offscreen too)
  • Added api_get_mouse_inst() which returns the actual mouse instance
  • Fixed the custom script_draw parameter not working for menu objects
  • Fixed > 6 tier 5 bees going off the page (also remember you can specify tiers now!)


[h2]Modding Docs[/h2]
  • Added entries for the above methods added
  • Updated the Instance Properties page to include "rx" and "ry" - new properties on menus, slots, and gui that return the relative position with the camera included (saving you doing x - camera.x etc)
