Publishing error: You are attempting to publish a world with pre-release features.
Hi, I have a World and I want to participate in the Creator Competition: Elevate Your Mobile World. When I try to use new features—such as importing an FBX file or inserting assets with the new format—there is no problem in previewing the World. However, since my World was originally created in 2022, I receive the following error message when attempting to publish: "You are attempting to publish a world with pre-release features." It seems that new features are recognized as pre-release features in worlds with older original metadata or internal structure. Even if I delete all entities and scripts in the World except for the imported FBX or inserted asset, I still receive the same error when I try to publish it. On the other hand, if I create a brand-new World and import the same FBX file or insert the same asset, publishing works fine. Additionally, in my older World, I can't assign custom textures to shapes, and the Build > Shapes menu lacks newer items like Cube Beveled or 10 x 10 Plane. Since the competition requires updating a previously published World, what would you suggest? Can I recreate and update my World from scratch to avoid the publishing error? If I do that, the new World would not meet the requirement of being originally published before June 30, 2025. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!Bring Photorealistic Textures to Your Worlds

Finally finished this project with this original combat mechanic designed as a mobile only game! It's a fantasy adventure turn-based RPG where you spell words to attack the enemy. Clear each floor to earn XP, more health, and of course LOOT! The game starts out easy while you familiarize yourself with the mechanic. Then you start earning armor and weapons to take on higher floors. Use potions to recover HP, and scrolls to summon up to 2 extra letters at a time. This progression system was by design made to be addictive and challenging tracking 4,700+ data points and a custom word engine using JSON files for precise adjustments to difficulty for the 3 player archetypes: casual gamer, the dedicated gamer who put in their time, and those gamers who choose to pay-to-win. Custom leaderboards use World Persistent Variables which allowed me not to track just scores, but also what words earned them their ranking (after filtering out 500 words to stay appropriate to general audiences).

Hey friends! I've created a development guide based on my personal experience with the new custom skydome feature in Worlds. This is intended to help you better understand how to make and import custom skydomes into your worlds! Find it here I have included the files I made using Blender if you wish to follow along with the process or you can use your own! *If you have questions or recommendations for amendments, please leave them here for me Hope this helps and happy creating! The skydome I made, for reference. It's a quickly thrown together desktop scene that is still a WIPMake & Import an Animated FBX Using Blender 4.5
I know some have been struggling a bit with this. Here's a super-simple 15 minute workflow to: Create a simple animated 3d mesh in blender Export it to FBX with animation and import it to Horizon Worlds Please like and share to anyone that might find it useful Subscribe to my youtube channel for more tutorials and Horizon Worlds usefulness https://www.youtube.com/@The3EyedTiger
Can something be both semi-transparent and emissive or reflect light?
Can you make something semi transparent but still reflect light? I have an object that parts of it are semi transparent and then parts are not at all. Yet when I put a light on it, it just goes right through and doesnt light it up. The file is a BA file. Whats the best way to go about making this?Can't get emission to show.
I'm importing a model that I made an emissive map for but its not showing it. I baked emission into a new image. Opened photoshop and added my emission map to green channel. Added ambient occlusion to blue channel And made the red channel black. Exported that as _MEO Imported it with the model snd the BR file It's not making much of a difference. Is there anything else I need to do?
