5.0.0

May 5, 2024

Additions

• Added support for animated tiles in the import pipeline! Learn the setup here

• Added new component LDtkComponentLayerParallax: For all layers to mimic the parallax motions seen in LDtk

• Added new component LDtkComponentLayerIntGridValues: A component with various functions to help with getting IntGrid value data

• Added new component LDtkComponentTilesetTiles: A component with various functions to help with tileset tiles

• Added various new components and ScriptableObjects, eliminating any requirement to deserialize json data. Check the docs here for more info

  • Total new ScriptableObjects
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectAutoLayerRule
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectAutoLayerRuleGroup
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectEntity
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectEnum
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectField
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectLayer
    • LDtkDefinitionObjectTileset
  • Updated existing components with new json data:
    • LDtkComponentProject
    • LDtkComponentWorld
    • LDtkComponentLevel
    • LDtkComponentLayer
    • LDtkComponentEntity (new)

• LDtkComponentWorld: Added a new convenience button to the world component inspector to spawn all the world’s separate levels

  • Supports multi-selection & undo
  • Project hierarchies with separate levels enabled will now build the world GameObjects in the project hierarchy to allow this feature

• Added three new “reimport all” buttons into project settings to optionally only reimport all .ldtk, .ldtkl, or .ldtkt files

• LDtkPostprocessor: Added new AssetImportContext field to work with the ScriptedImporter, like to access the asset path

• LDtkTilesetTile: Added new helper function GetEnumTagValues to parse the tile’s string fields into enum data

• LDtkTilesetTile: Added new TileId int field to LDtkTilesetTile

• LDtkReferenceToAnEntityInstance: Added public fields for getting IID

• LDtkIid: Added implicit operator to string

Changes

• Optimization: Built tilemaps will now CompressBounds to potentially improve on memory/processing
• Optimization: Greatly improved the operation speed of clicking the “Reimport All” button in Project Settings
• Updated: New icon for AutoLayer-related content
• Updated: Samples

Fixes

• Compile Error: Fixed a compile error encountered in Unity 6
• Import Fail: Fixed a tileset file import failure if a tileset texture is not set in LDtk
• Import Fail: Fixed a problem where the export app would not work on macOS easily
  • This issue is not retroactively fixed, so for any Mac users currently facing this issue, add a $1 to the end of the file’s contents in Library/LDtkTilesetExporter/ExportTilesetDefinitionMac.sh
• Expectancy: Fixed the project importer’s composite collider option not showing in the inspector if there’s no IntGrid layer but if there is a Tile/Auto layer
• Expectancy: Fixed issue when reimporting all in project settings, where some assets that failed to import would not reimport whatsoever
• Expectancy: Added new error log if a tileset file’s texture is not a TextureType of Sprite
• Expectancy: Removed an unnecessary error log if a layer’s tileset definition was not set
• Expectancy: All checks for a backup file will now happen before checking json version to avoid unnecessary errors

Breaking Changes

• Deprecated some values in the imported components. They are instead accessed in their definition object.
  • All deprecated values will still work the same, except for LDtkComponentProject.FromJson which now return null
• Planning to remove LDtkEntityDrawerComponent in the future; the new LDtkComponentEntity will be responsible instead
