Defold 1.2.161

This sprint we’ve fixed some stability issues regarding Http requests and Ipv6.

We are also working on updating our internal SSL library to be able to further improve the Http requests to sites with newer ciphers.

We fixed an old issue where the tilemap layers couldn’t be interleaved with regular sprites.
It might be good to double check your Z values again now.

The 2D physics shapes can now be flipped, just like sprites, by using physics.set_hflip(url, flip) and physics.set_vflip(url, flip).

The Android DNK has been updated to use r20. This means that we now use clang++ (previously g++) to build the engine.
This shouldn’t affect your extensions, we’ve already tested with the most popular ones, but if you encounter any issues, pleas let us know.

I would really love some “Check for updates” button to force Editor to search for available updates, as the current “Update available” looks delayed for me - 3h ago you are posting about a release and I still can’t update from Editor :confused: I’ve been dying to check if fixing http requests conclude in fixed Playfab login. I could be at least informed whether the update is really not available or no.

Editor release was delayed a bit, building now so should be available in a few minutes, sorry about this. :slight_smile:

Tilemaps are broken in this release.
Some parts of single layer tilemap sometimes rendered, sometimes not rendered (depends of tilemap size and design), etc. I am unable to describe it more accurate, because it looks like chaos.

Ok, sorry about that. I’ll have a look at that first thing in the morning.

@dmitriy I cannot reproduce it given the layout you gave in the video, would you mind posting a small repro case for this?

I’ll try. This is not easy due to complex setup.
Another bug, in 1.2.161 tilemaps in editor does not move together with its gameobject.

Thx!
Yes, noticed that other bug as well, we’ll get on top of that too!

#10

I think I found the issue. Please see the attached project. Try adding & removing “Label” component(s) to the “root” gameobject in the “player” collection and then see what happens.

We’re still working on the SSL handshake upgrade. It will be released in 1.2.162

Please note that this:

function update()
	msg.post("@render:", "draw_line", { start_point = vmath.vector3(), end_point = vmath.vector3(100, 100, 0), color = vmath.vector4(1) })
end

also affects (badly) the rendering of the tilemap in 1.2.161.

I have now found the issue, and I am working on a fix.

The bug is related to a miscalcuation on how many render entries the tilemap needs.
A workaround in the meantime is to add one or more empty layers to the tilemap to compensate for that. (Worked in the example you provided)

Its worked, thanks. In my case, 2 and 3 empty layers fixed the issue.

So many nice things came together for this update! Vector division is definitely an unexpected bonus.

We will push a fix to the extension later today or tomorrow. This change uncovered a bug. We need to add/change an include in the extension.
