NutshellEngine 0.1.8 is here and adds UTF-8. This addition enables a wider range of characters that can be drawn on screen using drawUIText, which means that more languages can be supported.

Runtime

The Runtime is the part of the engine that runs the games made with the editor.

Features

• Added support for UTF-8:
  • Added a new function to read UTF-8 files.
  • Added an overload to Script::drawUIText that takes a std::wstring instead of a std::string, so if the text to draw is directly written on the source code, the string literal L must be used, for example : L"NutshellEngine".

Editor

The Editor is the software used to make games with.

Features

• Added a shortcut to reload an asset (Ctrl+R).

• Added an action to the assets list contextual menu (right click) to copy an asset's relative path.

• Added screen-door transparency to add transparency on objects on the editor's renderer.

• Entities with no material are now shown with the default texture in the editor's renderer.

• The emissive factor is now taken in count in the editor's renderer.

• Image files are now open in the info panel instead of opening a window. Their size is also shown.

• Right-clicking an asset path on a file selector widget now opens this asset (if it is a relative path) in the info panel.

• Added Undo/Redo when selecting entities or an asset.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with textures not appearing on entities on the editor's renderer. It happened when a texture was referenced under both its relative and absolute path. It could happen when this texture was used in both a model and a material file.

• Fixed an issue with Renderable being "null" in the scene file when no model file and no material file were specified.

• Fixed an issue when renaming a directory on the assets list not being taken in count because of the "/" at the end of the name.

• Fixed an issue with exporting when the application name contained one or multiple whitespace characters.
