Notes

After a short break we're back to our usual release schedule, and we have a lot of changes in this release! It includes a new Drawing Canvas fixed resolution mode, which lets you make sure Drawing Canvas uses a fixed size render surface regardless of the object size or display scale. This avoids some of the complications that can arise with the automatic resolution scaling mode, such as the surface being cleared when the display scale changes.

There's lots of other improvements including Animations Editor usability improvements with multi-select, some new options for handling the mouse wheel, and some new scripting APIs. There's also a big batch of bug fixes, especially around timelines as we've been working hard to ensure it's reliable. Happy testing!

Let us know with a thumbs up!

  • Freaking praise the lord

    • I don't know how difficult or easy it would be to add the ability to change the sampling modes ( Nearest, Bilinear, Trilinear ) of the Drawing canvas independently of the projects sampling mode?! But if that's something that would reasonably be possible, it would be a really useful addition to the Drawing canvas as well.

      I'm already very happy that we can set a fixed resolution now and no longer lose the content of the canvas on rescale though. This opens up C3 to so much more possibilities.

  • We need an emergency hotfix, it crashes when you rename animations, this is a pretty common activity.

  • Export to Android is not working properly in this version, users with Android 12 will not be able to run your game, proceed with caution.

  • No more self-erasing! Awesome!

  • We need a fix, the editor crashes if you rename animations.

  • play console showing this error (Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.

    ) what should i do?

  • Application output does not work in Android 12. This problem needs to be fixed.Thank you.

      I just did an Android export using r305 and it ran fine on an Android 12 device.

      • Thank you for the answer. I tried it on 3 different android 12 operating system phones. It didn't work. But it worked in android 11. I had created and run this application in R302. It didn't work after R305 We passed. I will make another application and try again.

  • Thank you for the updates! As always, I'm forever grateful to Team Scirra (I know you don't use Scirra anymore, but that's how long I've been using Construct LOL).

  • Is adding a text generator in the sprite editor planned? It'd make creating prototype buttons far easier.
