Teleport Workflow Improvements


Mari 6.0 introduced Teleport Broadcast and Receiver nodes .. Mari's native answer to Extension Pack's Radio Node System, allowing among other things,
broadcasting nodes across Graph Hierarchies.

Extension Pack 6 now fully supports Teleport Nodes and adds some small enhancements to their workflows, that previously existed only on radio nodes




  • Plugging a node into a Teleport Broadcast Node, that does not have a Broadcast Channel defined, will automatically create a Broadcast Channel
    with the plugged in Node Name



  • Creating a new Teleport Receiver Node, while a Teleport Broadcast Node is selected, will automatically hookup the Receiver to the Broadcast Node



  • Extension Pack's "Connect to Transmitter" Dialog (part of Radio Node System) now also works with Receiver Nodes. 
    If a Receiver is selected when executing the Dialog (e.g via the hotkey Shift + R), all available Broadcast Channels are listed instead




  • "Smart Rename Node" now has special logic do deal with upstream and downstream Receiver and Broadcast Nodes. It will pick up the Broadacast Channel Name as main Name 



  • "Jump to Node Input / Output" when run on Receivers or Broadcasters will now jump to the connected Teleport Node (Broadcaster or Receiver), even if the
    Node is in a different Nodegraph. If multiple connections are found a dialog will let you choose where to jump to.

  • The Radio Node Function "Jump to Connected Input" now also works with Receivers


  • The "Focus Channel Content (stop after Radio Nodes)" Option found in the Channel Palette has been renamed to "Focus Channel Content (stop after Receivers)"
    and now works both with Radio Nodes & Teleport Nodes



  • The Nodegraph Selection Options "Select Upstream (stop BEFORE Radio Nodes)"  and  "Select Upstream (stop AFTER Radio Nodes)" have been renamed ( [... (stop AFTER Receivers)] ,[... (stop BEFORE Receivers)]
    and now work with both Radio Nodes & Teleport Nodes



  • Broadcast & Receiver Nodes are now included in the "Node Creation" Hotbox (Hotkey "C") in the Nodegraph, replacing the previous Radio and Radio Transmitter Entries

  • The default Hotkeys for Radio Node Creation ("R") and Radio Transmitter Creation ("T") now create Receivers and Broadcasters instead.
    "Connect to Transmitter/Broadcaster" remains on Shift + R
