Another quick hot fix, but we’ve also added a couple new features.
Canvas Disk Cache System
This system will automatically download trusted canvases (by default only your friends) and store them on the disk.
You can disable this, but we recommend it for Condos you enter often as it speeds up load times dramatically . In our tests, Condos with canvases went from 80 seconds load times to half a second.
Any blocked canvas players will automatically be cleared out from your disk cache, as well.
We’ve also added options to clear out your canvas cache. The canvas cache data is stored in a Cache folder in your Tower Unite folder.
Changes
- Added translation planes to gizmos which allow you to move items on set xyz planes
- Added uniform scaler to scale gizmo
- Workshop Editor: Added ability to use emissive value on translucent materials
- Workshop Editor: Added ability to inverse shoulder width
- Added canvas disk cache which dramatically improves load-ins for condos you have visited already. This can be turned off and blocked players/URLs will automatically be removed from the disk cache. There will also be a mode to enable it only for Condos that you are friends with
- Added descriptions to parental control settings
