Workshop Models

You don't have to download and install models. You can spawn them straight from the cloud. This sounds horrible when you first hear it, like it's going to be a 3 minute wait to spawn a model.. but it's not. We've gone to great pains to make sure everything downloads as fast as possible, and in reality it's usually less than a couple of seconds.

Mounts

We have a mount system in s&box that no-one knows about yet. Basically you can mount games and spawn their assets. We only ship with support for Quake at the moment. If you have quake installed on Steam you'll be able to spawn Quake models. This is a system that people can write their own mounts to support - so it's infinitely extendable.

Multiplayer

We have a few of the basic tools in game, with the familiar UI. They support things like undo and multiplayer - as you'd expect.. We have more to add, and more things we want to explore - but the important thing it's a working system.

Next Steps

• It gives us more flexibility in the future when it comes to the scene editor
• We'll be able to make changes to things like scene mesh editing so that they function more closely to Hammer. 
• Moving the controls into the viewport puts them closer to where you're going to use them

• Ejecting while playing
• Togglable Asset Browser drawers
• Refined menus for project, account, notifications, etc

We've also changed how the hierarchy looks, and refined various different layouts and widget appearances:

protected override void OnUpdate()
{
#if SERVER
  Log.Info( $"This is a server update!" );
#else
  Log.Info( $"This is a client update!" );
#endif
}

• Right is +X, Left is -X
• Down is +Y, Up is -Y

SamplerState mySampler < Attribute( "mySampler" ); >;

var anisotropicSampler = new SamplerState
{
    Filter = FilterMode.Anisotropic,
    AddressU = AddressMode.Wrap,
    AddressV = AddressMode.Wrap,
    AddressW = AddressMode.Clamp,
    MipLodBias = 0.0f,
    MaxAnisotropy = 16
};


var pointSampler = sampler with { Filter = FilterMode.Point };

Graphics.Attributes.Set( "mySampler", pointSampler);

• Added "Grid Size" option, shown in the Properties window when no Rectangle is selected. Allows you to enter exact grid sizes that aren't powers of 2.
• Can now hold CTRL or SHIFT to multi-select rectangles and edit multiple at once.
• Position and Size properties are now shown when any Rectangle(s) are selected.
• Added "Normalized Values" option to the Toolbar, when enabled, the normalized Min and Max properties are shown in place of Position and Size.
• Grid Size and Material Reference are now serialized so the editor loads the exact same way it was left.
• Added Context Menu when Right Clicking on a Rectangle, contains option to delete selected Rectangle(s)
• Can now click-and-drag Rectangle(s) to move then, and drag from the corners/edges to resize.
