Sprite Modes

[Alienhead]

When switching sprite view mode to billboard,   the sprite no longer retains scale.

The reason this is so, is I was not 100% sure how this should be handled. Entity scale is a 3D factor and sprite size is a 2D factor. The shader does not have access to the sprite's local orientation, just its global 4x4 matrix. It could extract the global scale on the X and Y axes and use that to resize the sprite, but if it is parented to another entity, it is possible that the parent entity's scale could skew that in strange ways. Perhaps instead of using scale, there should be a sprite:SetSize() command that modifies the sprite mesh?

yes SetSize would cure the illness.

Okay, downloads system is pretty much done and I will be back to bug fixing starting tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.

Sprites have been revised and an adjustable size is now available, in code and in the entity properties in the editor.
