This notice has been updated with additional information regarding the key updates and impact notice for the May 27 update.

Hello Creators,

On May 27 PDT, MapleStory Worlds will undergo v.26.5.0 patch maintenance.

We would like to inform you in advance about the major changes in the patch, and the platform and World impact that may occur after the maintenance.

This update includes limiting DataStorage usage, adding custom font features, full support for some Editors, and API adjustments that may affect world behaviors.

Please take a moment to review the information below. We hope this will minimize the impact on the content you are developing and operating.

[Key Updates and Impact Notice for the May 27 Update]

DataStorage Usage Limited by Credit Criteria

As previously announced in the notice on Tuesday, May 19, there will be usage limits on DataStorage based on a Credit system in order to provide a more stable World production and service environment.
A new guide will be added at a later date to help you effectively use DataStorage Credits. We will inform you once it is available for your reference.
If the DataStorage usage limit has been reached, saving and retrieving data may not function correctly. Please refer to this guide to check usage and improve within the world: [Learning DataStorage Use Limits]
Creators who are operating Worlds that may be affected by these changes to the DataStorage usage limits will receive a separate notice when accessing the app.

AIComponent Memory Optimization and BTNode Behavior Changes

Memory optimization in AIComponent and some modifications to BTNode behavior will be made.

* Please take preemptive measures to prevent any impact on the World due to changes in the behavior of AIComponent and BTNode.

To prevent the creation of a false behavior tree, BTNode’s behavior will be partially changed.

ParentAI Property is changing to ReadOnly.
BTNode that already has a parent node cannot be added as a child of another node.

The CompositeNode error bug has been fixed.

AttachChild (BTNode node), AttachChildAt(BTNode node, int32 index): Fixed the bug where passing nil as the node parameter caused an exception.
DetachChild (BTNode node): Fixed an exception that occurred when passing nil as the node parameter.
DetachChild (string nodeName): Fixed an exception that occurred when the target node of the nodeName parameter did not exist.

RandomSelectorNode error bug has been fixed.

AttachChild (BTNode node, number probability): Fixed an exception where passing nil as the node parameter caused an error.

ParallelNode error bug has been fixed.

Fixed a bug where one child node returning a Running status and another child node returning a Failure status would stop running the node.

JSON Import of Custom AvatarAction

During the JSON import process of custom AvatarAction, if the Frame Delay is less than 0, the import will fail.
If the avatar action frame in AvatarState Editor is set to 0 or lower, you will not be able to load the avatar action after the update. Please take precautions in advance.

Entity Sync Property Changes

The synchronization and creation order of Entity SyncProperty will change.
Entity, Component (including Ref) Type, Sync Property refers to a child Entity: When moving to another map, the bug where synchronization was not working properly on other clients existing on that map has been fixed.
When an Entity with a child in the client environment moves from another map, the initialization order changes correctly.

* Previous: Parent OnInitialize → OnBeginPlay → Child OnInitialize → OnBeginPlay

* Change: Parent OnInitialize → Child OnInitialize → Parent OnBeginPlay → Child OnBeginPlay

[ADDED] Revision Record Limit in World Creation

Up to 100 revisions can be recorded during World creation. If this limit is exceeded, older revisions will be deleted sequentially starting from the oldest.
Creators who need to preserve past revisions are advised to download and keep them in advance.

[May 27 Update Preview]

[REVISED] Custom Font Feature

A new custom font feature will be added so Creators can use fonts registered directly within the TextRenderer Component Family.
Using the custom font feature, you can express text in fonts that match the aesthetic of the World beyond the default built-in fonts provided.
Uploaded fonts will be embedded into the World upon release. Uploading fonts without a proper embedding license may result in copyright violations and legal liability. Please ensure you verify the license conditions of any font you intend to use before proceeding.

LockMovement Property Added to ClimableComponent for Rotated Entities

Determines where the player can exit a rotated ClimbableComponent. If true, the player can exit only from the start and end points. Otherwise, the player can exit from any edge of the Climbable entity.
- This option can only be toggled when AllowHorizontal is true.

AvatarActionSelectorComponent Property Change

AvatarActionSelectorComponent is treated as SystemProtected so that it cannot be added from the Property window using ‘Add Component’.
- AvatarFaceActionSelectorComponent / AvatarBodyActionSelectorComponent

StateSet Editor

StateSet Editor will officially be supported, allowing you to edit StateSet Entries into GUI graphs.

Background Editor

Background Editor will officially be supported, allowing you to create and edit backgrounds based on the pieces in background templates and use your own resources to create and utilize custom background templates.

Two-Handed Weapon Resources

489 Two-Handed Weapon Resources will be added.
It is a new resource whose position is changed so that the character’s face is hidden during the default idle action.

API Changes

The following APIs will be changed to Deprecated.
- [REVISED] AIComponent – SetRootNode, CreateNode, CreateLeafNode
- CompositeNode - AttachChild, AttachChildAt, DetachChild, DetachChildAt
- RandomSelectorNode - AttachChild, SetChildNodeProbability
- boolean AddCondition(string stateName, string nextStateName, boolean reverseResult = false)
- void RemoveCondition(string stateName, string nextStateName)

IsLegacy Property Added to StateComponent

(Revised 6/3) If set to ‘False’, state transitions and event execution are performed as new policies.

* For more details, please refer to the guide that will be updated at a later time.

TextRendererComponent Bug Fix

The issue where Text would appear even when visible was ‘false’ will be fixed.
The issue where GetPreferredWidth / GetPreferredHeight could not retrieve values when Enable was ‘False’ at initial start will be fixed.

* If the initial Object has not been created, it can be supplemented to create one, allowing you to view the actual length and height of the text even when inactive.

[ADDED] New Code Block Entry ConditionType Added

A new code block entry, ConditionType, will be added.
* For more details, please refer to the guide that will be updated at a later time.

We will continue to do our best to provide you with a stable and comfortable production environment.

Thank you,
