4ian/GDevelop v5.6.252 on GitHub

💝 Improvements

Add support for using a custom shape ("Mesh") for static objects having the 3D physics behavior.
- This allows your characters and other dynamic objects to collide exactly with the shape of a platform, background or any static 3D object.
- By default, the model of the 3D model itself is used. You can choose to use another model if needed (useful in case of a very complex 3D model: you can make the collision happen on a simplified version).
- The Physics engine was also upgraded to Jolt-Physics.js 0.39.0.
Improve the list of objects, in the new object dialog, with custom objects provided by extensions:
- Extensions, behaviors and objects lists now follow the same layout,
- Assets are suggested for most custom objects provided by extensions, so you can start from a ready-to-use, pre-designed object.
Add point attachment rotation and scale conditions/expressions for Spine (Thanks @ViktorVovk!)
Add action to change the image of Tiled Sprite objects (rhanks @malec-palec!)
Add support for per-project editor preferences via a gdevelop-settings.yaml file (thanks @malec-palec!):
- This works on the desktop app, for local projects only. See the documentation here.
Display properties of objects/behaviors in the extension editor in a tree: this allows to easily visualize, group and move properties around. Browsing properties is faster and clearer.
Allow to change the size (bounds) of a Custom Object variant from the sidebar.

AI fixes:
- Fix AI not able to make an object global
- Fix AI not able to duplicate an object from another scene
- Fix AI trying to wrongly replace some objects
- Fix AI wrongly able to add a behavior on an incompatible object
- Fix AI wrongly changing resources on objects
Fix rotated 2D+3D layers with no 3D objects not rendered properly
Add automatic retry when installing extension to avoid intermittent failures.
Fix a crash when reloading the game page after a hot-reload
Fix variable or property initial values wrongly rounded to 6 digits
Fix loading of resources not properly retried when a resource can't be loaded (for example: network error) (thanks @ViktorVovk!)
- Typically, when resources are downloaded from a CDN, then sometimes, for various reasons, a request for a resource may fail. In such cases, it’s very useful to have retry for avoiding intermittent issues.
Fix arrow keys not working in the layer list. Also clear layer selection when an object is selected.
Fix object effect toggles not being applied at preview.
Fix private objects not appearing in the list from within the extension
Fix time scale not properly applied to custom objects

[Example] Updated AutoTile by VegeTato:
- Added a new action Force autotile system to run or stop, this action is used for specific cases, like creating tiles from events at the beginning of the scene.
- Try the example here.
