  • This will be fixed in the next build!

    This bug doesn't exist in 0.97.5, so you can always roll back if it's keeping you.

  • It just looks like C# with a gaming API - in other words, all programming. That's not what Construct aims to be - but possibly a good one to go for if you want to program your game!

  • It's intended that the object bar entirely replace the object list in the layers bar. Since the object list in layers was quite buggy, it was removed when the object bar was functional - but you're right, there's no longer an equivalent to Z ordered view. I think we plan on re-adding features like sorting by Z order to the object bar before 1.0... in the meantime, you can either go back to an old build if it's that important, or just hold on a bit longer

  • This error would not be caused by the fullscreen setting. It's caused by one specific plugin. It would be really helpful if you could find out which plugin is causing it, otherwise it's really hard to do anything about it.

  • 'Play' doesn't reset the position when done - you can either Set Position to 0 just before playing, or just load again on pressing space (if the cache is enabled, the second time you press space it just loads from memory so will be faster). I'll try and correct this for the next build. Also note there's an expression to get the last autoplayed channel, so you can change the pan/volume/etc of autoplayed sounds.

  • Post it as a bug report... I'm very busy these days I'm afraid, I don't know when I can have a look at fixing it, and I don't know when any of the other devs might have the chance to have a look either. I think you'll have to try and find a workaround for now...

  • Try Construct 3

  • There was update this August.

  • I think it's XAudio2 causing the error. If they update to the latest version of DirectX, it should fix it. Let me know if it works.

  • Oh right, yeah. I thought you meant:

    + Condition

    ----> ELSE ...

    It works fine via subevents like you say.

  • Yeah, send me a cap that crashes when you open it in 0.97.6.

  • i prefer to use ELSE in a sub-event

    Does that work?? We only coded it to work for following events...

  • Template.csx isn't included in this build. You're probably installing over the old directory. Just delete template.csx.

  • Hmm... that's a different bug where clicking a window control seems to stop keyboard input to the main window. If you use the mouse & keyboard object to change gravity direction, it works. I'll have to look at that other bug...

  • I remember testing it and it worked, could you post an example .cap?

  • Download 0.97.6 now

    There's a couple of new features we want to throw in for 0.98 which aren't ready just yet, so this is to get some of the bug fixes we've done out there. The new features in 0.98 will be the last new features we add before 1.0: after 0.98 we plan on being feature locked and just fixing bugs and clearing out the tracker for a solid, stable 1.0 release.

    Here's the full changelog:

    Event sheet editor

    • [ADD] 'Insert new comment' into event right click menu
    • [FIX] Editing event groups now correctly handles description
    • [FIX] Object parameters and Object Panel now only show global & layout objects (used to show non-global objects from different layouts, which clogged up the list)
    • [FIX] Actions/conditions can no longer be inserted where private variables have not been picked
    • [CHANGE] Comment colour is now more friendly

    General

    • [FIX] Variables with blank names can no longer be added
    • [FIX] Project bar now updated after using the manage event sheets dialog
    • [FIX] Animation's repeat to property is now saved
    • [FIX] Selecting a layout's event sheet sometimes picked the wrong event sheet
    • [FIX] Moving objects in layout with up/down/left/right arrows updates properties bar X and Y
    • [FIX] Loaded and unchanged applications, or brand new unchanged applications, prompted to save on exit
    • [CHANGE] Better reporting of missing plugins. If you open a .cap file with missing plugins you are shown a list of all missing plugins and their filenames (previously only first one was reported).
    • [CHANGE] Better reporting of errors and problems when using dialogs, and added some tips when dialogs are first used

    Layout editor

    Picture editor

    • [FIX] Crash pressing ctrl+left/right

    Plugins

    • [ADD] XAudio2 (beta)
    • [ADD] Particle spray: initial speed randomiser
    • [ADD] Tiled background: load texture from file at runtime
    • [FIX] Sprite: mesh distortion with uneven rows/cols
    • [FIX] Particle spray: initial display angle randomiser
    • [FIX] Sprite: Animations no longer get stuck if an animation doesn't loop
    • [FIX] Canvas: crash after running fullscreen application
    • [FIX] Tiled background: seaming when scrolling. This reverts an earlier fix, that semitransparent tiled backgrounds sometimes show seams. There is no solution for this. You must use a power-of-two texture for perfect seamless tiled backgrounds.

    Runtime

    • [FIX] Game doesn't pause while dragging window (finally!)
    • [FIX] Scrolling was bounds-checked on rendering but not on retrieving coordinates. Fixes issues with collision detection when near edge of layout.
    • [FIX] 'FPS in caption' disabled in fullscreen preview (prevents titlebar flickering)
