Redesigned home page
The home page has been redesigned to be more user friendly and to make navigating through the different views simpler.
This should make it easier to get started, find what you need, and move between the main parts of Setonix without getting lost.
State restoration
Setonix now supports state restoration, allowing games to resume after the app restarts.
If the app is closed or restarted, your game state can be restored more smoothly, making longer play sessions and interruptions easier to handle.
Game mode groups
Game modes are now grouped in the play dialog, making it easier to find the right mode when starting a game.
The Chess and Blackjack names in single-player game mode groups have also been fixed, and loading the Blackjack game mode now works correctly again.
New scripting events
New scripting events have been added for game lifecycle handling.
The world close event allows scripts to clean up resources when a game is closed, while the save event allows scripts to store game data when the game is saved.
Luau script error messages have also been improved with game mode and script context, making it easier to understand where a problem happened.
Server thumbnails
Server lists now support thumbnails.
Public and in-app server lists can show server thumbnails, and server list thumbnail overrides can be configured. There is also support for bundled server list thumbnail asset paths.
Security and reliability improvements
Setonix 0.8.0 improves app and server security checks and hardens multiplayer authentication and imported file names.
Several smaller reliability fixes are included too. Creating games without a name is now prevented, playing a game without a selection no longer shows a missing route, overlapping tooltips in stacked hand view layouts have been fixed, and stopping the server from the command prompt no longer throws an exception.
The native plugin build has been migrated from cargokit to Flutter native assets, and Setonix has been upgraded to Flutter 3.44.
