  • ChrisY: What operating system are you on? Have you tried uninstalling and completely reinstalling?

    dingdong: if the download fails maybe your firewall or something blocked it, you can always download the new version from the site and reinstall.

  • Improved physics is a priority for before 1.0, but I have a lot to do, heh <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" />

  • That shouldn't be true. How are you measuring FPS (the built in one?), and what kind of difference do you get? Can you send me a .cap that demonstrates one being slower than the other to ashley@scirra.com? Thanks.

  • Woops, 'ceil' is fixed for next build. In the mean time, a workaround is that floor(N + 0.5) is equivalent to ceil(N), so use that. Random works like so:

    random(N) generates 0-N not including N, i.e. random(4) could give 0, 1, 2 or 3. random(1.0) generates a random floating point (decimal) value between 0 and 1, so you can also say 50 * random(1.0), which will give you literally any number between 0 and 50.

    For random between two numbers just add to a random number:

    50 + random(50) gives between 50-100 for example.

  • Try Construct 3

  • On the todo list. Would it solve the problem if this was a property in the Sprite object, or are you testing collisions for more objects?

  • Judging by the animator bar you've done everything right. Perhaps the shader uses something the card doesn't support, or it could be a bug in Construct, but I don't think so - it just compiles the effect and sends it to the graphics card. Do 1.1 shaders work OK?

    Assuming you're on XP:

    http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/r ... 00-xp.html

    Installing these should make your card run as good as it can. Let me know if it works.

  • Hmm, what is your graphics card or graphics chip if its onboard? That's the crucial thing. Also, you should find your latest drivers and install them, that can fix a lot of problems. If you are certain you have the latest drivers and it still doesn't work, it may just be your graphics hardware sucks - if it's nVidia or ATI though, I'd be more worried.

    I've run advanced Construct games like the RTS demo with no problems on an old SiS 650 chipset - sure it ran slow, but displayed correctly. So if you have latest drivers etc, I'd suspect it's your hardware.

  • Yes, every new version is 100% compatible with the last.

  • OK if you've already downloaded it, restart Construct and the autoupdater will ask you to download the new files.

    The link is updated so new downloaders wont have any problem.

  • Bummer... worked for me with my usual final checks. I'll have something sorted tonight.

    Our most stable build ever! Python will be in the next build (I'll see to it) and SDL will be coming up some time soon as well - ideally, both next build.

    A slew of bugfixes, changes and additions:

    • [FIX] Instability/crashes with 'Create relative image point' / 'Create relative pivot point' actions
    • [FIX] Wrong display of physics hinge actions
    • [FIX] Bug with layouts with empty names
    • [FIX] Improved stability of picture editor.
    • [FIX] Crashes using repeat/for/while/for-each system conditions with subevents
    • [FIX] RTS movement occasionally hanging the runtime
    • [FIX] Crash using two RTS movements with different cell size settings
    • [FIX] Layer scroll rate taken in to account when testing mouseovers.
    • [FIX] Stability of layouts and renaming them
    • [FIX] Layout names sometimes got deleted when double clicking project bar due to the renaming caret
    • [FIX] 3D box works at runtime
    • [FIX] Multiple triggers in group no longer cause oddities
    • [FIX] Families now work with more conditions
    • [FIX] When double clicking an object in the event sheet editor families are selectable
    • [FIX] Crash on Vista minimapping a Tiled Background (and updated RTS demo on site)
    • [FIX] Fix to object parameters
    • [FIX] 'Go to layout' crashes; also now 1-based instead of 0-based index
    • [FIX] Crash passing 0 to Common Dialog's SelectedFile expression
    • [FIX] Crash in Array object's 'For each' condition
    • [FIX] Crash editing object icons
    • [FIX] Set Layer Opacity was not working.
    • [CHANGE] Finally managed to get rid of that menu fade everyone complained about!
    • [CHANGE] Numbers displayed as text never have a trailing dot (eg. "3." now becomes "3").
    • [ADD] Physics: added 'None' as a collision mask, which disables physics collisions.
    • [ADD] Double-clicking a comment edits it.
    • [ADD] 'Repeat/for/while/for-each/On loop' loops now try to detect infinite loops - you will be prompted after one million iterations. This only happens when previewing, but allows you to easily terminate the application if you made a mistake.
    • [ADD] 'Run layout' and 'Debug layout' to test just one layout.
    • [ADD] Comprehensive new updating built-in allows for runtime, plugin and IDE fixes to be received without reinstalling a new build
    • [ADD] New 'RTS basics' template (thanks Flon24 for graphics)
    • [ADD] Set skid recovery rate action in car movement.
