    Thank you for fixing the issue with linkers in this release, I really appreciate that!
    The asset shop looks interesting but a bit limited, are you going to add support for other types of content like nodes or should I just add them as Smart Assets? I think it might be useful to have some more specific choices for nodes or whole add-ons/systems.
    I'd love to add my systems to the shop (Particle System, Pathfinder AI and all of my nodes like Attach to Target, Text Box, 3D Sound, Set Physics Pro, etc.).
    A minor detail: now you can't edit a script by double clicking on its title, you can only edit it by clicking on the small pencil icon; can't see the reason of that, it was pretty convenient to be able to edit a script by simply double clicking on the title.
    Just a detail but still...

    How will Adbox work now? Since the ads will now be delivered from two sources, Applovin and Vungle, how will the ad be selected if both are available in the same region. In the case of mediation, you know how it works, but how is it solved in Adbox?

    We currently set network order based on what is performing the best system-wide. We re-evaluate periodically, but changing the network order will likely be a rare event.

    Currently placing items as smart assets is best.

    The double clicking bug has been noted and is being fixed currently, sorry for the inconvenience ;)

    I can't quite imagine what the best thing to do besides mediation is.

    In 3.3.7 I cannot adjust order of items in the UI outliner. Can you confirm this is a bug and that it will be addressed ASAP? We cannot release games when UI is not possible to build.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. This is a known issue with 3.4.7. We are fast-tracking 3.4.8 currently and the fix is already implemented within that build.

    I meant 3.4.7 yes. Very big and strange bug. Anyway, are you fixing the no-scrolling issue in the selecting through if collide node, spawn node etc? We need to be able to select even on laptops with one window. Should also be a search window. Searching through 3-400 items is crazy.

    We are working on solutions for this situation, especially on smaller screens, currently. The UI bug will be fixed incredibly shortly.

    May also suggest:

    Color option on the scenes so one can organize them easier or a scenes manager.
    Collision group is limited. Would love a tag function so you can make own groups.
    Better control over camera and rendering. Must be able to set rotation follow to only 1 axis.
    Enable and Disable on all nodes. We have changed some of them our selves but it is frustrating to import all the time.
    Transparent files needs to be fixed in fog. They are not affected by it. Critical.
    Fadein and fadout on sound node. If used with a statemachine it is cut with no fadout.
    Random node after statemachine does not work. It messes up everything.
    A working load bullets, pickup bullets system. Now need to use points which limits the program.
    Rotate texture. Only scale is limited.

    This would add to an otherwise fantastic program:)

    Thanks for posting these suggestions. You may also send any feature request directly to the team by using this link: https://signup.buildbox.com/submitAFeature
    However, I'll take a look into these issues.
    The transparency issue was fixed a few versions ago btw.

    Why are you saying that the transparency issue was fixed? The changelog said it was fixed at that time but it wasn't. I don't know what that file you added shows because it cannot be opened.
    I have been complaining about this for half a year.
    Transparent objects do not fade in the fog.

    Hello, I have uploaded 3 assets to the shop. I need to fix the texture of all three of them. One of them has been approved, one is rejected, and one is pending. I can't update or fix any of them.

    When I try to delete it, the error "the requested entity not found" appears.

    @Sean Buildbox With this new update is the folowing problem also solved? Problem: after a video-ad has played the sounds in the game are gone (only background music keeps working). 2 months ago you said this problem would be solved within the next 3 months. Thanks.
