We’re excited to announce the availability of Lumberyard Beta 1.17, which features over 70 slice workflow updates to help game developers get more done, faster. This release includes:
- Improved Slice Override Visualization - Now when using the entity outliner, you get a quick visual queue where you’ve made your changes. Changes to a slice entity are now highlighted in orange to notify you at a glance that something has been edited and should be saved or reverted.
- WYSIWYG Slice Editing - Manipulate slices by dragging and dropping entities onto each other or pulling them out from a slice to remove them. This more intuitive workflow will help you work faster and accomplish tasks that would have taken several clicks in the past.
- Save Dialog Box details on Edits - All details are now presented if you click on the advanced save option. If you’re dealing with many slices, there are now filter controls that help you default to added/removed entities.
- Updated Entity Outliner Search/Filtering Options - There are now options to sort alphabetically ascending/descending with additional toggles to scroll to a selected slice and/or expand the hierarchy.
- Editor Only Status - Set an entity as editor only and it will not show up in game / at runtime. This is helpful when working across disciplines or teams to drop in markers guiding developers on changes or areas that need lighting addressed.
