Terrain's been given some big love this week. We now support up to 64 materials, up from 4.. 🤯
We've changed to a non-destructive 2 layer blend (base/overlay) instead of a 4 layer blend, this drastically reduces memory requirements and is more performant - and realistically nobody was putting 4 materials on top of each other.We've adapted the terrain tool UI to the same sidebar we use for mapping tools, so everything is in one place.
Mesh editing has moved to its own mapping tool. It has all the tools and modes needed to create and edit mesh geometry. Tool properties are displayed in the side panel next to the toolbar. Your own tools can display properties here too.
We now have a component that can disable collision between two rigidbodies. Internally this is just a null physics joint with collision disabled. We use this in sandbox mode for the no collide tool.
Crash Reporter is now a C# app, and calls to our API
Multi-viewport in play mode
Update meshoptimizer to v1
Make MSAA setting work on editor SceneRenderingWidgets
enforce gameobject order and form groups whilst duplicating @johncosfm
Various crash fixes when shutting down engine
unfuck the ordering of rebuilding in mesh component so mesh is built before collider, also don't use gameobject scale to scale geometry
suspension disabled just limits the suspension to zero internally so it doesn't fly off into space, also set suspension and steering spring defaults to 10 hertz, 1 damping

Actually, it's good that you're replacing the tools with your own. I'm sure that sooner or later, Hammer Editor will have to be removed and only Map Editor will remain. Anyone who wants to can create own mapping tool
That's exactly why I really like s&box. It's an engine and platform, and it's also open source, which gives you so many possibilities
Special thanks to lolleko for the high-quality screenshots and Tony for the random dresser (although I wrote it back in the summer) Now we can make even cooler previews
Huge congratulations to Layla on shipping the new Mapping tool. Replacing one of the most powerful and well loved tools in Valve’s ecosystem is an absurdly high bar, especially with the kind of expectations Hammer carries, but this already feels like a major step in the right direction. I’ve been using it heavily over the past week and I’ve genuinely enjoyed it. Excited to see where it goes from here.
