Version 1.4.2

[1.4.2] - 2022-02-06

Version 1.4.2 includes a large number of bug fixes and tweaks to improve reliability.

Added

• Added the optional assetsPrefix option to the frameworkParams.
  • Use this if your project's assets/ folder uses a different name.
• Added a new Flixel sample project which ensures cache clearing when reloading mods.
• Added several convenience functions to handle loading and unloading of mods at runtime.
  • These convenience functions perform the proper steps to reload Polymod. Note you may need to call clearCache() depending on your framework and your app's current state.
  • loadMod() and loadMods() enables an individual (or multiple) mods, by re-initializing the framework with the appropriate mods enabled.
  • unloadMod() and unloadMods() disables an individual (or multiple) mods, by re-initializing the framework with the appropriate mods disabled.
  • unloadAllMods() disables all mods, by re-initializing the framework with no mods enabled.
    • Localized asset replacements will still work, but no user-defined mods will be loaded.
  • disable() fully disables Polymod, destroying the asset handler.
    • Neither user-defined mods nor localized asset replacements will work until you call init() again.

Changed

• Added additional testing to the openfl_firetongue sample.
  • mod5 now loads a different image depending on the selected locale.
• Performed many internal code style improvements (please use template strings)
• Improvements to documentation
  • Renamed and cleaned up the Localization page (formerly known as Translation)
  • Added a section to the Localization page describing its partial support (only available in Lime/OpenFL/Flixel as of this update).

Fixed

• Fixed several issues that stopped the Flixel backend from working. It's finally actually working I swear check the sample.
• Fixed several bugs related to asset retrieval.
• Fixed a bug where debug printing would sometimes not enable.
• Fixed a bug where the project would not build if Firetongue was not installed.
• Fixed several issues with the HEAPS sample (seriously was it ever working?).

Removed

• Temporarily disabled the HScript-EX feature.
  • Additional work to implement the scripted class functionality is required.
• REMOVED the existing modpack functionality (based on the _polymod_pack.txt file).
  • This will be replaced with a revamped system for modpacks in the future.
• REMOVED the documentation associated with modpacks.

Known Issues

• The openfl_firetongue sample mod which implements an additional language is currently broken.
