Chaoshead v2.11.1

Chaoshead v2.11.0

UI

Added

• Added a button in the Misc. menu to patch the Levelhead executable to get rid of level caching.
  • This is kind of experimental, please report any Levelhead bugs/crashes.
  • I had to track down where the caching logic lives, and at exactly which instruction it decides whether to load it from disk or not. Then it turned out that Levelhead loads downloaded levels directly from memory before saving them to disk, causing a crash if you force it to read everything from disk. So I had to find some empty space in the executable to add in a subroutine written in assembly to determine whether the file to read was a Rumpus/downloaded one, and let it follow the original decision logic then. Pretty proud I managed to get this one working.
• Added a check for Chaoshead updates, which gets run daily at startup, and can be run manually in the Misc. tab.
• Added a button to show a level in the file explorer

Changes

• Added the arrow keys as default bindings to move the camera (if you want these too but already have default keybinds from a previous version: delete settings/bindings.json from the Chaoshead data directory)
• Made it so the workshop refreshes the list of levels whenever it regains focus or you open a level (closes #54 and fixes #12)
• Made it so path node connections are always drawn (there's a setting to turn this off) (fixes #14)
• Made it so properties in the selection details are sorted alphabetically
• Organised the Misc. tab (also got rid of campaign (un)packing since that falls under the campaign editor now)
• Fixed that snapping the camera to pixels was using an inverted zoom, causing the camera to move when zoomed in (fixes #61)

Misc

• Make text/font size a setting (fixes #36)
• Added @Adrthegamedev to the credits. Sorry it's this late, I completely forgot I kept track of direct contributors in there.

API

• Added obj:isElement() (closes #28)
• Made World:addObject() automatically select the layer. This also fixes :placeElement() always using the foreground (fixes #10)
• Documented the Bitplane size fields (closes #30)
• Prevented the allocator from overflowing channels and rift IDs (closes/fixes #33)

Chaoshead v2.10.1

Misc

Chaoshead v2.10.0

UI

  • Allows (un)packing to/from a more human-friendly file structure
  • Displays the map and properties of selected nodes
• Optimisations:
  • Deselecting areas and layers
  • Added LOD to object drawing
  • Added an additional LOD to the selection drawing
• Fixed that filtering out paths caused a crash
• The tree list now remembers which folders you opened across restarts
• Renamed property "filtering" to "filtering to" to prevent possibly confusion with "filtering out"

Misc

Chaoshead v2.8.0

UI

• In an epic tale, involving undefined indeterministic behaviour, undocumented function variants, and a single character mistake: fixed that sometimes copy/paste, saving, & certain other hotkeys wouldn't work.
• Made it so you zoom in where your cursor is (which is the only little thing making this a minor update instead of a patch)
• Fixed modal dismiss hotkey not working
• Fixed save_data change beeper crashing
