  I'd recommend uninstalling the old version before installing the new version, but it doesn't matter that much. You can just install the new version over the old version's directory which I do regularly, and it works fine.

  As far as I can tell, this is just a problem with your events, not the 8 direction movement. The detector object has the movement and is working correctly. You use events to set the direction and animations of the player sprite. Therefore your events, not the 8 direction movement, are responsible for the angle and animations of your player. If you enable rotation on the detector and draw an arrow so you can see where it is pointing, it is moving and rotating correctly.

  This is one of the best demos I've seen so far! Excellent job! Any tips on how you achieved the effect?

  It's worth noting that division defaults to floating point calculation in Construct - you have to explicitly use Round or Int to specify integer operations (which is opposite to MMF where you explicitly specify when you want to use float operations).

  Under 'Z order', there's 'Place in front of another object' and 'Place behind another object'. Do they not work?

  Both are to-do items, will try sort before 1.0.

  There are no online plugins yet so it's not really possible at the moment. Some should be on the way soon.

  [quote:34unwmeo]the image point the gun fires from does not skew with the image

  Woops, forgot to take this in to account. Will fix for next build.

  [quote:34unwmeo]Also I'm having a lot of runtime crashing and freezing with the platform behavior right now

  Yep, lots of bug reports in the platform behavior at the moment - I'll try sorting it out.

  You can also use it for that, to round x to the nearest multiple of 32 is something like:

  round(x / 32) * 32

  If the alignment is wrong try floor(x / 32) * 32.

  That's odd... I'll try have all the collision issues sorted in the platform behavior for the next build.

  Select the Sprite, and the Animator bar brings up its animations. The animation speed appears in the property grid when you select an animation angle (eg. the default is 0 degrees).

  The 'round' expression? It just rounds a floating point number to the nearest whole number. Eg. round(0.7) = 1, round(6.3) = 6. It was missing from System Expressions on the wiki, so I added it.

  Centering hotspots does fix the bug, because otherwise you move inside a solid which freezes the platform behavior. However, it shouldn't freeze and should move you outside of the solid, which is a bug I'll try to fix next build.
