v0.2.16

Release v0.2.16

This release focuses primarily on Developer Experience, with a major new milestone: you can now develop Little Big Adventure 2 mods on Linux or macOS while running LBA2.exe on a Windows VM or remote machine. Mod changes are synchronized immediately and hot-reloaded in the game, giving a workflow that feels close to developing directly on the same Windows box. Alongside that, this release also includes API improvements, documentation updates, and a set of bug fixes.

API and documentation improvements

• Added useTempStore(), a runtime-only scene store for temporary trigger/state data that should reset on scene load and never be written into save data.
• Improved move-script ergonomics by allowing omitted placeholder arguments for several TM_* commands, including TM_FACE_TWINSEN, TM_ANGLE_RND, TM_WAIT_NB_ANIM, TM_WAIT_NB_SECOND, TM_WAIT_NB_DIZIEME, and their random variants.
• Added validation and clearer documentation for LM_CAMERA_CENTER, including explicit orientation values for behind/right/front/left camera placement.
• Improved object angle helpers so angle conversions normalize correctly.
• Added getAngleFromToPosition() for deriving an LBA angle directly from two positions.
• Improved coroutine error messaging to always provide at least coroutine name, actorId and position in case of and error.
• Added setCoroutineStackTrace(true|false) to help diagnose coroutine errors by optionally including the originating coroutine stack trace.
• Updated all samples to use new useTempStore() API for player action trigger.

Infrastructure and Developer Experience improvements

• Added support for remote mod development from Linux or macOS to a Windows IdaJS setup through the new listener and remote sync/start workflow.
• The mod scaffolder can now accept a remote host[:port] as the IdaJS target, and generated projects save that configuration correctly in .idajs.json.
• Extended setup and prerequisite documentation, including clearer guidance for cross-platform development.
• Added npx @idajs/create-mod --update to refresh scaffolder-managed project infrastructure in existing mods without touching user code in src/.
• Improved the scaffolder install/update flow, including safer package refresh behavior and automatic type update support after infrastructure refreshes.
• Switched mod archive creation to yazl, improving packaging consistency and cleaning up generated project dependencies.
• Improved configure.ps1 so git worktree setups are handled more gracefully.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a circular require() issue that could cause an infinite call stack. IdaJS now follows Node.js-style behavior by returning partial exports during circular module loading.
• Fixed the Bathroom sample logic for checking whether Twinsen is actually facing the window before the interaction triggers.
• Synced the TypeScript storm sample with the updated thunder handling.
• Fixed mod build/package-name resolution on non-Windows systems.
• Updated locked dependencies to address known vulnerabilities.
