RELEASE NOTES - 2024-04-12
New features
Load & Replace
While it can be used to replace a character with any other, this feature is mainly intended for replacing previously exported characters with updates ones (from the same source file).
Coupling direction override
Override coupling direction to control how characters are pushed. Like any node, it can be animated in any manner you prefer.
Step transition type
Configure how timelines are applied during step transition.
PLAY = Play timelines normally.
PAUSE = Keep timelines at 0 until step is finished transitioning.
Additions
Nature environment in interactions
New body shape
"bt_m_chubby" now available.

Other
- Added "Force" slider to Timeline sound events (for relevant event types).
- Added status filter for suggestions in cloud.
Improvements
- Presets now remember folders.
- You are now able to snap to timeline events.
- Moderately improved load times of characters.
Changes
- Changed name of "AB/Alley" map to "RLD" in interactions.
- We now use an alternative method for starting external process (used in texture compression).
- (Hopefully this will make character export work for people who were experiencing problems with it.)

General
- Fixed an issue where you'd be unable to remove a garment object, if its referenced model asset had been deleted in the local asset browser and if the garment had masks snapped to its [now removed] surface.
- Fixed an issue where using "Flip" for a part wouldn't update the bone chains, causing improper physical behaviour.
- Fixed an issue where FX map wouldn't load for appendages in interactions.
- Fixed an issue where collisions would stay for balls/shafts/physical chains when switching scenes.
- Fixed an issue where presets would get incorrect file type.
- Fixed an issue where appendage presets wouldn't load properly if applied multiple times.
- Fixed an issue where presets wouldn't load properly if its original folder was missing.
- Fixed an issue where tongue could display through neck.
