New year, new update! This will most probably be the final large update for BIY. Thank you for the years of support! There are a couple credits in the patchnotes, but thanks to everyone who suggested fixes and reported issues, among others BabaIsYoo, Balt, Inkify, Laxxius, PokeChess & Springer29. In general huge thanks to the Baba Is You fan Discord server for all their work, reports, suggestions & support over the years!

Bugfixes & adjustments

• Added cloud save support on mobile

• Sprites in menus should now shrink to fit inside their buttons even if they're larger in-game

• When editing an object's data, the game should let you leave the menu if the data is buggy in some way (hopefully)

• Levelpack selection now has double arrows for moving 5 pages at a time

• Search for Play Levels & Play Levelpacks

• Levelpack's folder name shown next to title in editor

• Unnamed levelpacks now display as "??? (folder name)" in editor

• Disabling rule sounds for a level now also disables a bunch of other sounds to make e.g. song levels easier to make

• Museum no longer grants a flower for one of the submaps to fix a bug with a missable dandelion puff

• Added a couple ambient loops to the music selection

• The hand effect from Pet now follows objects more accurately

• Fixed a crash with Empty Is Level + mods

• Fixed a case of X Make Level creating Error objects

• Shuffled which objects are included in "Advanced objects"

• The "Enable advanced objects" setting now toggles upon beating the game

• Shuffled tags around a bit

• Changed "object type" text input into a simple Object vs. Text selection (text input is still available if needed)

• Made Level Is Hide work for level objects

• Mimic rules now disappear from the pause menu if the Mimic rule or mimicked rule are hidden

• Fixed a stack overflow bug with Empty & Seeing

• Updated screenshots on the game's Steam page

• Fixed some bugs with Hold

• Placing paths should now be easier since the game doesn't reset the chosen object or tool as easily

• Fixed a bug with the music in Meta

• Adjusted some object colours & sprites

• Fixed level objects not emitting particles

• Made levelpacks made by the author most recently looked at appear first in the levelpack list in editor

• Added double arrows for Z-layer selection

• Added pages for background effects

• Fixed Text Is Boom not stacking

• Fixed(?) custom music in themes not playing properly

• Fixed a controlling issue on certain mobile input setups

• Increased the number of special objects permitted in level uploads (thanks to PokeChess for the request)

• Made ambient loops appear at the end of the music list (also changed their names so if you made a level using them, you'll need to re-select the music)

• Tried to fix an interaction with Done that could cause increasing memory usage (most probably not a full solution)

• Made level code not be displayed in the pause menu when testing a level to avoid an incorrect level code being shown

• Added the possibility of a fourth digit to dandelion puff etc counters (thanks to springer29 for the suggestion)

• Adjusted some of the colours in the object list to use some rarely-used/unused colours in the palettes (thanks to balt for the suggestion)

• Fixed a couple small typos in Museum's signs

Mod support

• Added support for custom background particles (tutorial at the end of values.lua)

• Added a bunch of new modhooks throughout an in-game turn

• Added the ability to give a level a custom high-contrast palette (please don't misuse this)

• Added ability to load SFX from Data/sounds instead of a levelpack's own folder

• Placed a text file (MF_documentation.txt) within the Data folder to help with modding

• Tried to make timedmessage() appear on the screen more consistently

• Added MF_getlist_*() functions to get a list of unit ids for certain types of objects

• Added MF_playsound_repeat() for playing and looping a sound

• Added functions in modsupport.lua for more easily calling level transitions

• Tried to make custom specialobjects easier to deal with by adding a support function in modsupport.lua

• Added a function in modsupport.lua that is called when a slider is interacted with

• Added modhooks for mouseclicks and keyboard presses + a tutorial for how to (hopefully) make them respect the in-game movement delay

• Added support for 5 text rows on signposts

• Added MF_getkey() and MF_setkey() for getting & changing inputs stored in the game's internal control config array

• Added the ability to make custom undo events (explanation in modsupport.lua)

• Added description for MF_musicstate in the documentation file

• Added MF_getlist_system(), which fetches unit IDs for a bunch of system objects (use with care)

• Made custom completion icons have a better tutorial in the debug levelpack

• Made custom completion icons also display in the "Start the game" levelpack menu, not just the "Play levelpacks" menu (thanks to alltami for the report)

• unit.animFrame is now properly usable

• Added MF_setanim() that lets you change the selection of animation banks of an object (this is probably not useful at all and more likely to cause bugs than anything, fwiw)
