Hotfix for 30/05/2025
- Fixed the startup crash caused by a duplicate folder.

Performance & Stability Update for Worldsmith and Jump King
The main focus in this update is to bring general performance and stability issues related to Worldsmith to make the process of making your custom content less slow and more enjoyable!

Worldsmith


Quality of Life additions



  • Improvements on how "Load an existing folder" prompt works:

    • Added a new checkbox to determine which folder to load from (Worldsmith's default or custom).
    • The prompt will not display if the folder does not exists.
    • Fixed a bug where writing the title of the loaded item BEFORE the item name would cause the folder directory to be changed.

  • Improvements on how "Start position" works:

    • Fixed a bug where the start position would not save changes. (thanks to Czar!)
    • Moved start position from the Item Details page to the Screens page for ease of use and overall better experience; the position inside of the Screens page will be relative rather than the final value (that is absolute).
    • You can now visually see the start position inside of the Screens page.

  • Improvements on how babes and their ending images works:

    • Revamped slighly how the UI looks in the ending details expanders.
    • Moved babe screens from the Item Details page to the Screens page for ease of use and overall better experience.
    • Fixed a bug where changing any babe screens would not save changes.
    • Fixed a bug where changing ending images would not save changes.
    • You can now add, move and/or remove a babe directly in the screen page.

  • New awesome Worldsmith icon!
  • Minor improvements with scrolling images over performance.

    • Fixed a crash when trying to go up/down a screen in the Screen page. (thanks to Czar!)
    • Fixed a bug where you couldn't add the same prop twice. (thanks to Czar!)
    • Fixed a bug where the taskbar would display with a progress bar all the time after building content. (green background bar on windows 10, long progress bar on windows 11)
    • Fixed a bug where a prompt issue dismisses a previously opened prompt
    • Removed some unused assets.
