2D Toolkit 2.2.3

[unikronsoftware]

Please read the migration guide before updating. 2D Toolkit 2.x is not API compatible with 1.x.

What's new

• Dicing quality massively improved - also added ability to filter solid and transparent dices. Documentation here
• SortingOrder - you can now specify sorting orderon sprites and text meshes, allowing you to explicitly order sprites which are at the same z value.This used to be called RenderLayer in beta1
• tk2dUI - you can now use multiple cameras! Add a tk2dUICamera behaviour to any cameras that require UI processing
• tk2dUILayout and tk2dUILayoutSizer - lets you set up much more complex UIs than previously possible. Also enables for scalable UIs that resize properly for different resolutions. Docs:
  
  • Basic Layout
  • Advanced Layout
• tk2dUI - brand new default skin and prefabs, all set up using the Layout system for even quicker workflow
• tk2dUI - new demos, webplayers below!
  
  • Demo 2 - Layout
  • Demo 3 - 3D and Mixed Camera UI
  • Demo 5 - Dynamic Scrollable Area
• tk2dUI - added a lot more method bindings using the "Drop target" event - all currently exposed c# events can now also be accessed by selecting a function name in the inspector.
• tk2dTextMesh no longer requires a commit after changing properties. The changed properties are queued up and flushed before the frame is rendered. You can still call Commit, and this flushes the queue straight away.
• tilemap tiles can now be rotated. This is just a flag for now, but you can get all possible 90 degree rotations by stacking rotations and flips
• Diced rendering mode, filtering option - you can only draw solid dices, or transparent dices - allows more advanced optimizations
• tk2dCamera - removed a bunch of stuff from the internal camera settings. It now simply mirrors the hidden camera component.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Critical bugfix in tk2dUIManager - fixed typo that broke multiple camera support.
• tk2dTiledSprite epsilon on build, was failing to build the required tiles on rare combinations of values.
• Destroy render data when tilemap is destroyed, also fixes tilemap invalid layer bug
• tk2dCamera - transparency sort mode saved properly
• Setting value on tk2dUIScrollable Area resets inertial scrolling
• Removed allocation from tk2dUIManager
• Font editor - detect RGBA4444 in addition to ARGB4444 in Unity 4.2
• BMFont in sprite collection serialized properly - the intermittent issue where the font was getting garbled should be fixed
• Sprite dicing filtering massively improved
• Fixed Tilemap "prefab losing data" bug when tilemap is in a committed state and sprite collection is changed.
• Sliced/Tiled/Sliced sprites will not reset colliders when Create Box Collider is unticked. You can now define your own colliders this way.
• Warning when incompatible mesh type is used with sliced / tiled / clipped sprite.
• Layer active state remembered when rebuilding.
• Mesh normals/tangents on tiled, sliced and clipped sprites
• Tilemap prefab will now automatically build when Instantiated or dragged into the scene.
• TileMap TMX import now works with staggered tilemaps
• tk2dUIManager warns when there are children - the children will not be deleted when switching scenes.
• tk2dUIManager works better with legacy config and scene switching
• When a tk2dUIManager already exists, a duplicate will be deleted - the gameobject remains, in case the user has other components on it.
• Separated tilemap code from core tk2dUI codebase - you can now once more remove UI and Tilemap directories and simply use core tk2d.
• tk2dUITouch - fingerId was assigning to self
• Reuploaded the build - there was a tiny typo in 1 - UI demo. No need to update unless absolutely necessary.
• When a duplicate sprite is dropped in the sprite collection editor, ask what to do. Allows you to drop a folder and just add the new sprites.
• Scrollbar distance bugfix
• Playmaker PlayAnimation action fixed
• Windows phone 8 rotation matrix
• Default sprite collection size is now 2048. 1024 is no longer a sensible minimum. No one targets iPhone3G anymore, right?
• tk2dTextMesh - GetEstimatedBounds will return a Bounds that should match the mesh bounds.
• Fixed a few missing SetDirtys that were causing issues in Unity 4.x
• Screen extents change every frame
• Warn when text.Length > maxChars
• UILayout happens in world space rather than local - works with localScale
• Scrollable area demo now has a sample using layout
• Clicking the middle of the anchor box will anchor to all sides
• tk2dCamera fov fixed
• Custom sprite geometry trimming bugfix
• Platform specific attach points fixed

[Kirb]

Awesome; thanks for the quick fix.

[x8105]

agreed thank you!

[TekuStudios]

Thanks a lot

Oh, and btw just a quick question: do you plan to support blend shapes for sprites in future updates? We would love to see a feature like that on 2DT.

[unikronsoftware]

Blend shapes aren't in the list of features in the immediate future.

[MaaS]

Just a few questions about the future multiple colliders implementation

 - Will it be possible to know which one has collide?
 - Is it possible to turn on and off one collider?
 - Will they be different gameobjects with each, one mesh collider? could I attach some script to them?

Thanks!!

ray cast collision does not work on a perspective camera with a near value set to a negative value.

[unikronsoftware]

When using a perspective camera, it should be set up exactly as a Unity camera. Does it work with a normal Unity camera?

[x8105]

I am sorry, that's Orthographic Camera, I knew what I was thinking when typing it but my fingers betray me.
