More Options
More options are listed in the 3-dots-menu.
Defer Mesh Updates
If enabled, does not update shapes immediately when moving points in the editor. Instead, it will only update after the left mouse button has been released.
Useful if shape generation becomes too slow with complex shapes.
Perform Version Check
Compares the project's SS2D version and installed SS2D version to determine if there have been breaking changes that require project conversion.
Usually this is not necessary to run manually, as this check is performed automatically on editor startup.
Collision Generation Options
Related to Collision Tool.
Allows selecting a parent node where newly generated CollisionPolygon2D nodes will be placed.
Accepts arbitrary node paths, group names and scene unique names.
If the node does not exist, it will be ignored.
