## Major features - Heightmap overhaul! - Normal maps (bump maps) - Smoothness (gloss) and metallic maps - Tiling versions of texture/normal/smoothness/metallic maps for finer up-close detail - Blend map that uses the red, green, blue, and alpha channels to control the distribution of 4 tiles respectively, plus a fifth "base" tile that appears where the others are absent. - Stretch has changed to proper unity coordinates, where y is up. ## Minor features - New `CometTail` module replacing the `hasCometTail` field. Allows customizing the colour and scale-over-time of a comet tail. ## Improvements - Patched forget frequency method so it will work for those using it on custom signals - Added `teenager` arc type to translator text. This is a mix between child and adult. It uses the adult mesh but the child texture. Originally used at the window text on Giant's Deep's statue island. - Generated textures are now cached. this should reduce memory usage (resolves #581) - Textures are named by file path and then the effects applied to them, for example `[path] > invert > tint [color]` - Physics details splash in water like the probe and have the probe's buoyancy. ## Bug fixes - Fixed NullReferenceException when spawning vessels with physics - Fixed SpawnDialogue API method always creating a remote trigger - Physics details are now affected by tornadoes (resolves #580) - Stretch now behaves more intuitively (does not divide min/max height by the largest stretch axis) (resolves #551) - Fix spamming logs with "Fact ID Not Found" on system change (resolves #586)
