    Castle Game Engine Editor<\/a> improvements:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Visually edit anchors. Anchors are incredibly important when using our user-interface — they allow you to position controls such that they work regardless of the window size (and UI scaling<\/a>, if you use it).<\/p>\n

    2. \n

      Visually adjust TCastleImageControl.ProtectedSides<\/a>. This allows to configure rendering of images using 3×3 (9-slices) algorithm. The editor now shows the “rulers” that split image into 3×3 parts with different scaling.<\/p>\n

    3. \n

      Copy-pasting of component within the editor is possible. This way you can quickly duplicate a component hierarchy, or move it between various designs.<\/p>\n

    4. \n

      TSerializedComponent<\/a> is an alternative approach to deserializing design files. (xxx.castle-user-interface<\/code>, xxx.castle-transform<\/code>) It’s powerful when you need to instantiate the same file multiple times. This way the file is loaded only once (at TSerializedComponent.Create<\/code> call) and you can instantiate it many times fast (using TSerializedComponent.UserInterfaceLoad<\/code> method).\n <\/ol>\n

    5. Additions to the documentation:\n
        \n
      1. \n

        Making mirrors on flat objects, using X3D nodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      2. \n

        Upgrading to the (upcoming) Castle Game Engine 6.6<\/a> — this page lists known places where we (reluctantly) had to break compatibility, and that you will have to adjust when upgrading your games from engine 6.4 to 6.6.<\/p>\n
