📈Quality Of Life Improvements
- Noesis Updates
-
- Noesis Gizmo API now exposes two most requested methods:
- setLocalEntityVisibility(visible: boolean): Show/hide UI locally for the client changePage(xamlFile: NoesisAssetResource, dataContext?: IUiViewModelObject): Dynamically switch XAML pages and optionally set a new data context
- Command Parameter Support: Developers can now utilize the CommandParameter attribute on XAML UI elements to pass a custom parameter directly to the corresponding TypeScript command handler
- MouseMove Event Support: UI elements can now respond to mouse movement using the MouseMove event
- Image Resource Bindings: Bind image assets to UI Elements in XAML with {Binding Path=image} from TypeScript
- Two-Way Data Binding: Use Mode=TwoWay in XAML for live sync between UI and TypeScript logic
- Support has been added for GlobalResources.xaml, which is heavily used by Noesis Studio. This feature enables seamless code sharing across various XAML pages
- Animation Complete Trigger: Add triggers for Storyboard completion using the Storyboard Completed Trigger and InvokeCommandAction
🐛Bug Fixes
- Fixed the issue with Unity Asset Bundles failing to load textures.
- Fixed an issue where the remote player's avatar is invisible while their player positions and colliders are correct.
- Fixed an issue with the Style2 avatar not refreshing after making changes from the web editor.
- Fixed an issue with being unable to enter the edit mode of a world, resulting in getting kicked out with an error message during loading.
- Fixed an issue with the avatar staying in the sitting pose when trying to move or stand up from a seat on XS platforms.
- Fixed an issue with the matchmaking player limit where only 9 out of 10 players could join worlds, preventing full participation.
- Fixed an issue where Rocky (the AI pet enthusiast NPC from the Pets Park pre-release) had a disembodied voice which could only be heard in certain locations, not attached to his mesh.
- Added the Custom UI Bindings Garbage Collection feature, reducing memory leaks caused by lack of garbage collection for CustomUI bindings.
