Adding custom libraries to further help content sorting and possible support for DLC/Mods

Big ask, but being able to customize the HDR skybox without having to make externally/import, akin to Cryengine, Unity and Unreal would be brilliant

As stated, this would make animating in-engine far cleaner and allow for faster iteration

Steps to replicate:

1. Import heightmap
2. Save level
3. Close and reopen

Upon closing and opening the plasma engine launcher, the fact that a plasma engine build is installed can be forgotten (separate issue).
However this also leaves the Launcher Interface in a state where the last build you installed is still selected as a valid project target when creating a new project, after selecting "Create Project" in this state, the launcher crashes.

Expose the array type so its able to be used as a property time

Brush area is offset significantly and is uncontrollable.

Currently unusable

Could be quite handy if Plasma supported .tiff texture import as its used very commonly as a lossless texture format, especially due to its handling of alpha.

Rather than having to type the value, being able to drag the boxes akin to a slider, and updating on-the-fly in editor (say if you were updating the scale, position and so on) would significantly improve work speed for environment artists

• Depth Of Field
• Chromatic Abberation
• Volumetrics and Lightshafts
• Fog
• Vector Graphics for UI rendering
• Better Anti Aliasing
• Large Scale AO
• Full Colour Grading and Tonemapper Controls
• Water Including Ripples
• SubSurface Materials
• Glass
• Panini Projection for high FOV without distortion
• High Density Foliage Rendering
• Tessellation
• More Light Controls (Like Constant, Linear and Quadratic in Source). Not realistic but can be important to sell an environment if used sparingly
• Eye Adaption
• Vignetting
• Working GI
• Motion Blur
• Triplanar Projected Textures
• Refracting Textures
• Projected Decal Support'
• Source-Style 3D Skybox support
• Bent Normals
• Reflection Probes
• Clouds
• Customizable HDRI akin to Unity's and Unreals

Reproduction Steps:

Create heightmap
Modify with Raise Lower tool
Ctrl-Z

Expected results:
Return heightmap to previous state.

Actual results:
Heightmap gets removed from the scene because the last operation was create heightmap.

Steps to replicate

1. create a new UILevel
2. select the RootWidget inside that level
3. click add component, search for UIWidget, and click on it

Please add it to speed up importing.

having a global list of all the tags in a project and be able to select them from a drop down list or similar.

hopefully it can be centralised to allow us to not double ups on tags in a project.

Something I noticed when importing a prefab, specifically the FPSController prefab I was handed (now outdated), when imported, some default tags do not get applied, such as "Cog" while when I go through and recreate it from scratch it is applied.
Might be an edge case of not handling the default tags correctly or just a difference in build versions between the prefab and the project version I am currently updated to (0.1.4.0



)

Steps to reproduce:

1. open history window
2. make a change that is integrated with the undo stack

Mousing over the new changes in this window causes the small arrow to disappear.

So for the Master Material, we have a few requests. All up for discussion so lets also discuss it in voice too if you have any questions.

Base Material:
Mask Map to mask between 3 different materials (R G B respectively)
Each material supported standard Albedo, Roughness, Metallic and Specular respectively
Also being able to adjust the colours of each base layer through a hue slider.

Second Material:
Second Layer contains the decal details
It should be able to support Parallax and Ambient Occlusion maps from the decal sheet, as well as supporting alpha transparency and a mask map to mask in tertiary materials for things like chipped concrete, buttons, slots and the likes.

Third Layer:
Able to use baked AO/Curvature maps from a secondary UV set on the models and decal sheets (if possible) for masking in wear and dirt respectively, and using Vertex Painting for masking in and out wear and dirt.

CastResultsRange and other "type"Range classes lack a variable or method that returns the number of objects in the Range.

We need a way to reimport existing files such as models and textures with new versions and replace references accordingly, without deleting.
For example, reimporting a window would automatically replace all references in the map with the new window mesh

Currently theres no way to choose mesh library destination, nor assign tags on import. This is paramount for mesh organization.

Object snapping is currently based on the existing rotational offset, rather than snapping to set angles.

the title says it all.

Look into the blender addon "Align Tools" installed by default you just have to activate it in the addons.
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/addons/object/align_tools.html

3Ds max align tool.s are also a great reference for this sort of tool
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/3DSMax-Basics/files/GUID-E0566E8D-C50F-4202-8258-E02B694E0274-htm.html

Unreal also has a tool that lets you drop the asset/object down to the nearest piece of collision via a hot key which can also be super usefull and handy for us artists

Heightmaps get yeeted when you close the engine

Is there a way to transfer files between libraries? I can't find an option for it, if not it's important to include it for organization

Very handy, also maybe control camera speed with mousewheel while moving?

Smooth not smoothing. Sharpen still works correctly

Moving meshes inside an archetype is not part of the undo stack

Deleting too many assets makes the confirmation screen larger than it should be, making it so we cannot select yes or ok.

also didn't allow usage of enter, esc, etc

The ability to adjust the contract/brightness/histogram of a previous node in the stack, or adjust the values of a texture directly in a texture editor would make it significantly easier to tweak metallic/roughness maps in-engine

Rather than having to manually browse to the source asset, having a shortcut in the right-click menu would be handy

Josh pls fix

Add the ability to undo UI changes (window moving, closing and so on) via the undo stack

Using PostProcessSSR causes a series of weird bugs when launching the editor. Launching directly from the editor or launcher causes a TDR error. Launching the Launcher if the editor is open just doesn't work. It might be because I have a lower spec PC.

@dragonCASTjosh fixed it by removing the PostProcessSSR block from Level.data.

Reimporting a mesh will generate a new physics mesh, without deleting the old one

after selecting a project in recent projects and swapping to builds, the install button carries over to the build window until a build is re-selected, resulting in a button that says "Install Project"

Using the Flatten tool may cause crashes, able to replicate twice via using for a bit and clicking rapidly.

As title states, these are paramount for a level designer during production to check, test and build levels

steps to reproduce:

1. create a uiLevel
2. right click on one of the sprites in the object window and select create sprite text
3. try changing text to different values and font sizes

when searching for a component to add to an object, clicking on an invalid greyed out item closes the search menu, requiring the user to open the search back up and retype any search terms if they mis-click.

Plasma is incorrectly reading either one of these, causing normal errors on models

How it should look

Current Hieghtmap Weight painting has been disabled due to conflicts when binding the SampledImage2d type.

BackgroundTaskUi.cpp has a tooltip,

The tools added in EditorTools.cpp do not,

Each tool needs a tooltip field either provided by each individual class or by associated data similar to Data/Shortcuts.data or Data/Commands.data then it needs to be added to the creation of their UIButtons.

As title states, adding this option would significantly speed up the organizational process

Also auto assigning tags would be a lifesaver for cleanliness. For example, something like T_Trim_01_Forerunner should auto assign the tags Texture and Forerunner based on the prefix and suffix respectively

Please give us the option to combine meshes on import, and in-turn combine mats with same-name on said meshes.

As stated, an option to reset the values would be handy dandy
