Changes in v5.0.1

This page documents the minor changes and updates introduced in version 5.0.1 of the Grid Building Plugin.

Art Pathing Changes

Template Resource Organization

• Updated asset paths in godot/templates/grid_building_templates/ to use more consistent and organized directory structures
• Improved resource loading paths for better compatibility with different project setups
• Standardized font and icon asset locations within template resources

Font Asset Updates

• Added monogram.ttf font to godot/templates/grid_building_templates/resources/fonts/
• Included CC0 license file (LICENSE.txt) in the same directory for proper attribution
• Font is free for personal and commercial use under Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal license

Version Updates

• Updated all plugin version numbers to 5.0.1 across:
  • Main plugin configuration files
  • Inventory plugin configuration
  • README files
  • Test suite documentation
  • Documentation references

Submodule Synchronization

• Synchronized all Git submodules to their latest commits
• Updated submodule references to point to main branches
• Resolved any merge conflicts and ensured clean submodule states

Template Configuration Fixes

• Debug Log Level: All template configuration files now use WARNING (level 2) as the default debug level instead of DEBUG or VERBOSE
  • Updated isometric/config.tres to explicitly set level = 2
  • Updated platformer/config.tres from level = 4 (DEBUG) to level = 2 (WARNING)
  • Updated top_down/td_config.tres from level = 5 (VERBOSE) to level = 2 (WARNING)
• Added integrity test to validate template configs maintain WARNING log level for production use
• This reduces console noise and improves performance in production environments while keeping important warnings visible

Template Integrity Testing

• Enhanced Template Validation: Added comprehensive integrity tests to ensure templates work correctly when copied to new projects
• Keyboard Input Safety: Fixed top_down/td_config.tres to disable keyboard input by default (enable_keyboard_input = false)
• Template Combination Testing: Added validation that systems templates work correctly when combined with grid_positioner_stack templates
• Distribution Readiness: Verified all templates load and instantiate properly with just the addons/grid_building plugin
• Resource Loading Validation: Added tests to ensure all .tres and .tscn files load without circular dependencies or missing references

Demo Folder Integrity Tests

• Scene Structure Validation: Added automated tests to verify demo scene hierarchies and required node configurations
• Component Integration Testing: Enhanced tests to validate that demo scenes properly integrate with Grid Building systems
• Resource Loading Verification: Added checks to ensure demo scenes load all required assets and dependencies correctly
• Hierarchy Consistency: Implemented tests to verify ManipulationParent and IndicatorManager positioning in demo scenes

Build System Fixes

• Manipulation Parent Reset: Fixed issue where ManipulationParent rotation persisted when switching between placeables
• Transform State Cleanup: Added ManipulationParent.reset() call in BuildingSystem.clear_preview() to ensure clean state transitions
• Indicator Rotation Inheritance: Resolved visual bug where indicators appeared at incorrect angles after placeable switches
• State Management: Improved transform hierarchy management between ManipulationParent and indicators during build mode transitions

Pre-release Notes

This is a development pre-release (5.0.1) intended for testing and validation before the final stable release. All changes are backward compatible with 5.0.0.
