Keybindings Menu WIP - Jimmy

Ive been working on a menu for editing the controls!
Its still missing the very important feature of being able to actually edit those controls, but its now displaying the controls and thats a start :) It can display all of the fancy features of our input system: multiple buttons that must be pressed concurrently, bindings that reference other bindings, bindings that must be tapped multiple times to trigger, and multiple different bindings as options for a single action.
Being able to display bindings visually is not just important for the Edit Controls menu, but also for things like the in-game tutorials, where players will be told to press a given button to trigger an action.

Fun with Bob - Jimmy and Felipe

After building Bob last week, weve been working on setting up the software to get him building the game. Weve run into several unanticipated issues -- because of course we did, why wouldnt we -- but on the whole its going well and its almost done. Bobs computational performance on builds is very promising; hes faster than our old build server by more than a factor of two.

Lighting Settings - Jimmy

As I was working on adding context and screenshots for translators, I came across a description for a setting that didnt make sense. I did some further reading on that setting ("shadow cascades") and it turned out I had no idea how lighting works in Unity. Well, I did some more reading, and now I have some idea of how lighting works in Unity. Ive used my newfound knowledge to buff out our lighting settings: we now have seven total settings related to shadows, each with a helpful preview image and informative description.
Shadows are both extremely important to the visual fidelity of a game as well as extremely demanding on a players graphics card, so I feel its important to have extensive settings for controlling them. I always get a little peeved when a game just has shadows: on or off -- not to name names -- and Logic World will not be joining that club of shame.

Bugs Fixed This Week

• Fixed being unable to select hotbar slots beyond slot 10 by double tapping or ctrl+tapping a number key
• Fixed client throwing an error if you tried to run an autoexec.lsf
• Fixed being unable to make pegs exclusive if they were part of a dynamic prefab (i.e. on a Panel Display)
