Here are the release notes for the Foundry again.

We have re-enabled the editor, but for now, reviews remain disabled. We want to give the authors a chance to fine tune their missions with the new features.

Foundry:

  • Resolved issues with purchasing additional Foundry project slots.
  • There are some projects that will need to be edited before they can be republished, but most of them will auto-republish just fine.
    • It is no longer possible to use multiple maps inside a “Complete All”.
      • Projects with this will go through the auto-republish, but the associated Unfinished Tasks must be resolved before an author can manually republish.
  • Projects with the following issues will not auto-republish:
    • We resolved an issue that incorrectly allowed “Whole Map” to be used as a valid “Leave From” selection on Cryptic maps.
    • Note that it’s still a valid selection for custom maps.
    • A few projects have NPC Groups associated with “Kill” objectives that are not “Enemy” allegiance — this is not working as intended and will now correctly result in an Unfinished Task.
  • Multi-select has been added!
    • Left-click now defaults to multi-select.
      • This is changeable in the Map menu.
    • Middle-click and space+left-click pan the map.
  • There are additional behaviors available for contacts and NPC groups.
    • Have fun!
  • The controls in the costume editor have been updated.
  • Image previews for ground objects and contacts are now in 3D.
    • It’s a known issue that some of the image previews are cropped incorrectly for contacts.
  • Mission flow has been changed.
    • ;
    • Rather than having map transitions created automatically, an author needs to manually place them.
    • All objectives must be placed on a map.
    • Maps cannot be placed inside Complete Alls.
  • Added the ability to have no interact time for interact objectives.
  • The name displayed in the reticle for interact objects is now labeled with the actual name specified for that object in the map editor.
    • Authors will probably want to rename the objects and contacts they’ve placed, since players will now see what used to be a private name.
  • The preview image for some of the alien artifacts no longer includes a bounding cylinder.
  • The backdrop Template “Interior Sky Starfleet 01″ now works with the Utopia Planitia map.
  • Updated the Utopia Planitia Foundry Map template.
  • Removed the glass doors.
    • Replaced the abominable starship with a single Nova class.
    • Added the Utopia Planitia backdrop template to the Foundry.
  • Dialog popups can no longer be set to “Objective Complete”.
    • This unintended feature never actually functioned as expected.
    • Authors can use “Component Complete” instead”.
  • You can now put titles over people’s portraits in dialogue boxes.
  • Text input boxes that have a character limit now display the character limit.
  • The map object limit has been raised to 475, and the building limit has been increased to 64.
  • You can now sort your map objects by type, name, usage and unfinished task.
  • Unfinished Tasks in the Story tab now say Story instead of Mission.
