January Updates
Jan 19, 2022
The toolkit has been named MaxQ.
Changed
- Renamed directory
Source/SpaceToolkit to Source/MaxQ.
Added
- Exposed ‘tpictr’ to blueprints
Jan 16, 2022
Continued development of the toolkit to support project Space/Craft.
Added
- A Component Selector to optionally select only the X, Y, or Z SDistance values was added to
bodvrd, bodvcd, and gdpool
- Added Blueprint actions for
bsrchd and shelld.
- Added K2Node implementations for
bodvrd, bodvcd, and gdpool which return Wildcard types (can become SDistance, SMassConstant, etc).
- Added a new ‘Uncooked’ module for Blueprint compilation outside the editor. (Supports K2Nodes.)
Fixed
- Fixed an issue with certain API calls that returned Array types. The issue was Array types holding stale data, the fix was to ensure all cells are empty before using them.
Changed
- Moved all c++ modules to a common parent directory,
SpaceToolkit.
Depricated
- Deprecated all type specific variants of
bodvrd, bodvcd, and gdpool. Callers should use the K2Node version (bodvrd, bodvcd, gdpool) which returns a wildcard value.
