Construct Animate r391

Notes

This week's release includes a variety of updates, improvements and bug fixes. The Video plugin has been upgraded to support more video formats. Previously you could enter a WebM source or MP4 source, but without specifying a particular codec. Now you can enter a primary source and secondary source, and choose the format for each. The format options now include more modern video formats such as WebM AV1 and MP4 H.265. This means you can now specify an optimal but not universally supported format like WebM AV1 as the primary source, and an older but ubiquitously supported format like MP4 H.264 as the secondary source, and it will automatically play the best supported video depending on the platform.

Further a small new feature on the Browser plugin allows adding a prompt on close when attempting to close the browser tab or window, much like Construct itself uses when closing an unsaved project. To prevent abuse browsers do not allow customizing the message, but it usually says something like "Are you sure you want to leave this page? Any unsaved changes may be lost."

Other improvements include Sprite's 'Spawn' action now supporting templates, some more scripting APIs, and as ever a batch of bug fixes. Happy testing!
