released this
2026-05-13 11:11:20 -04:00 | 7 commits to main since this releaseHey! On Windows, Compilation is currently borked; it crashes when compiling ModuCPP Scripts, don't worry! There will be a replacement version of V6.8 called V6.8.1 to fix this issue. Alongside improvements. Stay tuned!
Modularity 6.8 brings Video Player, HTTP/HTTPS networking, MCP integration for the AI Agent, an almost-production LSP, and the new ModuPAK / ModuObj subsystems.
(PS: Ignore the amount of image downloads there are below the Modularity 7ZIPs, I can't remove them for some odd reason due to some permission error. 😭)
(PS Yet again: yes, the splash says 'Summery', I noticed before publishing right after I closed Pinta, 😭 😭)
- Added the Video Player subsystem with full playback support.
- Added HTTP/HTTPS support for engine-side networking.
- Added HTTPS streaming via
curl -Non Linux for low-latency reads. - Added MCP (Model Context Protocol) support to the AI Agent window, including a system prompt, MCP server config, and filesystem launcher.
- Added a Script Language Service and an LSP entrypoint, autocomplete is still being polished, but core diagnostics and deprecation warnings are working.
- Added ModuPAK for packages and ModuObj for prefabs.
- Added new Hierarchy and File Explorer icons across components (Camera, Canvas, Mesh, Light Bulb, Sprite, Text, Audio Source, ModuVolume, Video File, etc.).
- Added Reflection Casts for environment reflections, toggle, intensity (0–2), and distance fade range.
- Added a Global Ambient color picker in the Environment window.
- Fixed multiple sudden-crash issues across ModuCPP workflows.
- Fixed several Windows build problems that prevented Windows builds from working at all.
- Fixed Windows engine declaration and compiler issues.
- Fixed FBX UV parsing.
- Fixed rigging and animation parsing across multiple iterations; skeletal data should now import cleanly.
- Fixed Video Player issues caused by missing runtime DLLs in distributed builds.
- Fixed a weird linker error on the editor target.
- Fixed the strange "opens into Modularity itself" path resolution bug.
- Fixed a hardcoded path that shouldn't have been hardcoded.
- Fixed the Windows distribution package size; releases were ballooning past Cloudflare's 100 MB limit due to engine static libs and unused FFmpeg DLLs being shipped. New builds use 7z (LZMA2) and ship only the DLLs the engine actually links.
- Remade the Project Manager partially to be much easier to use.
- Massive ModuCPP overhaul, cleaner syntax, simpler usage, better examples.
- New ModuCPP error/warning reporting.
- Bumped ABI version to reflect engine changes.
- Vulkan shader improvements, better skybox, material, and post-FX shaders.
- Editor windows refactored to be more "modular", internal scripts split out for clarity.
- CMakeLists adjusted to match the new modular layout.
- License updated to remove references to unregistered or invalid entities.
- Build script (
build.sh) now falls back todoaswhensudoisn't available on Linux instead of failing when sudo isn't installed. - Switched Windows packaging to CPack 7z for consistency with Linux and a smaller download.
- Simplified Project Settings with three visibility modes (Simple / Advanced / Developer) and an in-page search box, so the list isn't overwhelming for new users.
Overall:
This release is the biggest feature jump since V6.7: Video Player, networking, MCP, and the LSP all land together, alongside major scripting-workflow improvements and a long list of cross-platform stability fixes. Distribution downloads are also much leaner, and rendering picks up new environment-reflection controls, a global ambient picker, and a simpler Project Settings panel with visibility modes and search.
Tiny note: The LSP is "almost production", autocomplete may still misbehave in edge cases, and may also report false errors. ModuNode is staying; the previous deprecation message was a mistake and has been reversed!
