PixiEditor 2.0.1.18 has received an update with several improvements. The editor's interface remains straightforward and familiar, allowing users of all skill levels to create game sprites or animations and perform general image editing tasks. The update focuses on resolving identified bugs and smoothing out performance issues, such as potential crashes related to null checks and problems with chunk calculations. Additionally, the developers have fixed issues like inconsistent behavior in the Pixel Art magic wand tool and corrected text-clicking hiccups in certain layers.
PixiEditor 2.0 just got a little bump, so let's see how things improved.
At its heart, PixiEditor covers all your basic needs in two dimensions: creating game sprites or animations and general image editing. You don't need to be a pro right away because the interface is pretty straightforward and familiar. Its ability to handle so much comes from having comprehensive toolsets for different jobs: pixel art, painting, and vector, each tailored to its thing.
The big deal with these three main sets is how you can mix them on one canvas without missing a beat. The Pixel Art tools are all about getting that sharp, pixel-perfect look down. Then there's the painting side: covering basics but also offering soft brushes and anti-aliased shapes for smoother results when needed.
Over on the Vector toolset, it’s got you covered if precise control over lines and shapes is your thing, creating detailed vector graphics or whatever else requires accuracy.
Beyond those core creators, PixiEditor's built-in timeline makes animating things easier than before, whether it's simple frame stuff or getting complex with custom shader animations in a node-based system. That node setup powers lots of the advanced features now, too.
The latest update primarily concentrates on resolving identified bugs and smoothing out some kinks:
- The developers tackled several potential crashes related to null checks.
- Some issues with calculating chunks or parts efficiently have been sorted, especially in relation to the 'latest' bits, which you'd probably barely notice most of the time unless it was happening
- The developers have improved the fix for transforming and copying folders, and they have also eliminated some issues with image resizing during import. Other transformation problems elsewhere got looked at as well.
- The Pixel Art magic wand tool? Its tolerance settings were causing weird results sometimes
- The developers also nipped some bugs in the vector toolset involving pasting and corners, plus addressed a text-clicking hiccup on certain layers.
All these changes aim to enhance performance and avoid those annoying crashes.
