Defold 1.8.0 Beta

[ekharkunov]

Thanks for feedback.
I’ve introduced new customizable callback to provide own resize window implementation Introduce resize window callback for html5. by ekharkunov · Pull Request #8799 · defold/defold · GitHub. If everything goes ok - it should be landed into beta branch later.

No just update. The GO doesn’t have any physic component.

NEW: (#8638 ) Add gui.get and gui.set
Gui scripts can now query/set node properties via gui.get and gui.set:

local node = gui.get_node("my_node_id")
local node_pos = gui.get(node, "position")
local node_pos_x = gui.get(node, "position.x")

gui.set(node, "position", vmath.vector3(1, 2, 3))
gui.set(node, "position.x", 1)

We have also added a new property to the gui namespace euler which is linked with the rotation property. When changing one of them, both will change its underlying data. The important change between them is that the rotation property must be set by quaternion values, and the euler property must be set by degree values. You can set a single component of the rotation or the euler properties as usual:

gui.set(node, "rotation.x", math.rad(45))
gui.set(node, "euler.x", 45)

There are no custom script properties available, you can only get and set the already existing node properties:

"position"
"rotation"
"euler"
"scale"
"color"
"outline"
"shadow"
"size"
"fill_angle" (pie)
"inner_radius" (pie)
"slice9" (slice9)

Please pay attention! gui.PROP_ROTATIONand gui.set_rotation() now works with quaternions. Therefore, existing code should be fixed to use gui.PROP_EULER and ``gui.set_euler(), or the value used with gui.PROP_ROTATION` should be a quaternion. Please check your existing code and make the necessary changes.

FIX: (#8682 ) Load engine and data concurrently
Now dmloader.js loads game data and game engine (wasm + js files) concurrently.

The default template builtins/manifests/web/engine_template.html has been changed. If you use your own custom template, make sure to update it with these changes. Pay attention to css changes for progress bar and how progress bar animation now handling. Also change how extra_params passed according to new documentation Defold development for the HTML5 platform

During the beta test, we found that our attempt to keep Rotation/Euler changes in the GUI backward compatible failed, and it would be better to make APIs clear and separate these properties (to align them with how we handle them in GOs).

Taking this into account, along with the pretty serious changes related to HTML5 (changes in the template and an Emscripten update), we decided to change the version of the beta to 1.8.0 to draw your attention to the breaking changes in this version.

So, there is no 1.7.1 anymore. Instead, the next version will be 1.8.0.

In order to support the feature of removing physics, we have now introduced two app manifest settings. If you are using a custom .appmanifest, and you wish to remove all physics, take note of these changes (or compare with a vanilla app manifest with physics removed):

      excludeLibs: [physics, Box2D, script_box2d]
      excludeSymbols: [ScriptBox2DExt]

In the latest update of the beta, we fixed the reported (beta) issue of not being able to remove the physics libraries. It has now been remedied, but if you use a custom app manifest, you should take note of these changes.

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

The sprite slice9 issue is now fixed in the latest beta.

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

Do we have a small(er) repro case for this?

E.g. can I set the finish screen to test it specifically?
(clicking and playing through takes extra time)

[Alex_8BitSkull]

Closing the issue as it’s actually due to the change to GUI rotation, not stencils.

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

Well, a simple rename should suffice I guess?
Or are you using gui rotation in that scene specifically?

[Alex_8BitSkull]

Yes, as far as I can tell the issue is resolved by just updating the names and functions.

@Jay_Cee

I can’t seem to get gui.animate() to work with euler at all.
I used to do this and rotation worked

This one fixed as well

[Pawel]

I had a confusion, but it’s 1.7.1, I wrote comments in this thread but the versioning changed only to 1.8.0, right?

[igb]

HTML5 build

	asm.js	wasm
1.7.0
1.8.0

[ekharkunov]

Can you specify a little bit what does it mean? And what did you do?
I ask because I checked on latest beta (cf019276903452e6dab40cea069d73748196b1d0) and everything ok. _asm.js and wasm.js + wasm files presented
I’ve checked (debug builds):

• bundle HTML 5 with both archs (vanilla engine)
• build HTML5 (vanilla engine)
• bundle HTML 5 with both archs (with extensions)
• build HTML5 (with extensions)

[igb]

sorry for not being clear about the issue.
vanilla engine same version on 1.8.0 beta ...b1d0

building works and run fine.
bundling works fine (debug variant)
tested both in chrome & firefox on linux
wasm build - works
asm.js build - crash

[Mathias_Westerdahl]

@igb

asm.js build - crash

Is there any info you could share? Like a crash log?

[ekharkunov]

Please, provide more info (logs, console output, example project).

Thanks. I’ll take a look.
