🌤️ New, ready to use 2D/3D particle effects, skyboxes and fog

Effects can now be added from the Asset store, starting with 3D skyboxes and 3D fogs:

Many new 2D and 3D particle emitters are also available in the asset store:

💝 Improvements

• Multiple UI improvements:
• Preferences : redesigned preferences dialog and keyboard shortcuts,
• Resources editor: allow selecting multiple resources and apply common actions (smooth image, delete),
• Scene editor shortcuts now work without having to click on the canvas first.
• Improved autocompletion and error messages based on variable types:
• Autocompletion is available for bracket access on structures and arrays (MyVariable[...]).
• Suggestions are now only showing variables with a relevant type.
• Error messages are improved when brackets are left empty. An error message is also shown when a string, number or boolean variable is used where a structure or an array is expected (and vice versa).
• Fixed autocompletion of variable parameters in function calls wrongly suggesting objects and functions.
• Multiple improvements for the AI agent:
• Files can now be attached to chat messages (and used in the game if needed),
• The agent can now take and analyze screenshots of the game, making it more useful,
• External layouts are now supported,
• The agent can now read, create and modify extensions (custom functions, objects and behaviors). This is useful to create reusable, modular game logic or advanced objects.
• Add a new action to tween the camera Z position
• Add support for the m4a audio format
• Performance improvements: textures embedded in 3D models are now shared in memory.
• Geometries, materials and textures are also properly disposed of when an object is no longer used, avoiding memory leaks
• Make "Enable AI for students" button more visible in the Education dashboard.
