Play no longer switches to fullscreen direct rendering: PIE now keeps
the editor UI alive and renders the primary camera into the Viewport
panel (new SceneRenderer::SetGameView flag; kDisplayDirect stays a
manual fullscreen preview for later release form). Editor camera stops
being driven during PIE, and viewport click-pick is gated off while
playing (clicks are game input now).
The Play/Stop buttons move out of the menu bar into a dedicated main
toolbar row below it (centered, UE Main Toolbar semantics): green Play
when idle; Pause (yellow, highlighted while paused) + Stop (orange)
while playing. Ctrl+P hotkey kept. Stats "Pause Simulation" merged
into the toolbar Pause; viewport overlay shows PAUSED accordingly.
Skybox/SkyLight are now Actor-carried components instead of resident
global settings, matching UE where SkyAtmosphere/SkyLight/fog are
Actors added from Place Actors and configured in Details.
- New SkyboxComponent (active + envPath asset slot) and SkyLightComponent
(active + ambientColor); first-active entity wins per frame
- SceneRenderer collects env from components into FrameSceneData
(DrawSkybox/envPath/ambient); Renderer performs delta sync - env
reloads only when the resolved path changes, neutral fallback when
empty or unloadable
- App-side env plumbing removed: kEnvPaths table and getEnvIndex/
setEnvIndex callbacks deleted; StatsPanel keeps ClearColor + debug
view, env params move to Details
- Serializer: scene-level Settings stores ClearColor only; env
components serialize per entity; legacy v1 scenes (Environment header
+ Settings.AmbientColor/DrawSkybox) auto-migrate into an Environment
entity on load for visual parity
- Inspector: Skybox/Sky Light sections with .hdr asset slot dropdown
and Add Component entries; Outliner "+ Create" popup offers
Empty/Light/Camera/Environment
Panels renamed to UE semantics (docking identity change): Hierarchy ->
Outliner, Inspector -> Details, Asset Browser -> Content Browser.
Default DockBuilder layout now matches UE5 factory layout: Details
docked right (full height), Content Browser docked bottom spanning
left+center, Outliner top-left, Viewport center with Stats as a
side tab.
Legacy imgui.ini (old window names, no new names) is removed once at
Init so the new default rebuilds cleanly; fresh or new-style ini is
untouched.
entt entity 0's integral bits are 0, colliding with the "no selection"
sentinel: u32 selected == 0 meant "clear selection", so the scene's
first-created entity could never be outlined. Replaced with
std::optional<u32> + FrameSceneData::selectedEntityValid.
Also restore per-batch instance contiguity broken by the batchMats
flattening (e038cb3): entities sharing a mesh scatter across the flat
instance array in collection order. ViewScratch now tracks per-batch
singly-linked lists and appendView aggregates each batch into a
contiguous range, preserving the flat-array performance intent.
Hierarchy click selection now routes through SelectEntity so outline
stays in sync when picking from the panel.
Editor toolbar gains Play/Stop (Ctrl+P) with UE semantics:
- Play: serialize current scene to an in-memory YAML snapshot via new
SceneSerializer::SerializeToString, switch display to kDisplayDirect
(primary camera entity renders), unfreeze time (timeScale 0 -> 1)
- Stop: DeserializeFromString atomically rebuilds the pre-play scene,
back to kDisplayViewport (editor camera), refreeze time; selection
cleared and gizmo drag reset since all entity handles dangle
- SceneSerializer refactored: SerializeDoc/ParseRoot shared by file
and memory variants; file Save/Load behavior unchanged
- Running state disables gizmo + editor hotkeys in the viewport (input
goes to game scripts), draws yellow PLAYING hint and a no-camera
warning; File->Save/Load disabled while playing (UE behavior)
Physics bodies/constraints/characters and script instances are
reconciled automatically by the existing per-frame sync on restore.
ScriptComponent now holds a list of {name, active} items (Unity
semantics: one entity, many scripts, each with its own enable bit;
component-level active stays as the master switch). ScriptRuntime
reconciles instances by name per entity -- rename/remove destroys
only the affected instances, untouched ones keep ticking. Scenes
persist Script.Items; old single-script key still loads.
AssetBrowserPanel (lightweight Unity Project window): fixed roots
(assets/scenes) as tabs, recursive directory tree, file list with
type filter (models/textures/scenes) and name substring filter,
double-click preloads models/HDRs into the asset caches (path-
deduped). Scene files point to the File menu for now; drag & drop
is a later iteration. Docked with Stats by default in fresh layouts.
EditorCamera (UE FEditorViewportClient semantics) owned by SceneRenderer:
own TransformComponent + reused Camera controller. BuildFrame dispatches
render source by display mode — editor form always renders from the
editor camera (usable in empty scenes), game form renders from the
scene's primary camera entity. AlignTo copies an entity pose into the
editor camera ("Align Viewport to Camera" button in Inspector). F focus
and viewport gizmo now follow the same dispatch. main.cpp stripped of
dangling sandbox camera/spinner state; onSceneLoaded hook removed.
Engine-layer SceneSerializer (yaml-cpp submodule): entities/components
to versioned YAML, atomic clear-and-rebuild on load with per-entity
fault tolerance, missing-field defaults, unknown-component skip and
UUID dedup. Asset references are {Guid, Path} pairs resolved through
the new AssetManager GUID registry (assets/asset_registry.yaml) with
path fallback; procedural:// pseudo-paths rebuild from parameters.
Editor File menu gets Save/Load Scene modals; app re-resolves stale
entity handles via onSceneLoaded callback.
