  • ...yep... you'd just put -100 as the start, 0 as the end, 5 as the step...

  • Download Construct 0.99.97

    Link to previous build (0.99.96) changelog

    Some bug fixes and changes made by Davo and R0J0Hound (their credit - I'm just publishing this release). Note I've set up a new computer since last building Construct 0.x - something may have gone awry as a result, so let me know if everything's working smoothly.

    Changelog

    Editor

    • [Fix] Kind of an internal fix: when removing private variables the family variables were not removed. This should prevent out of order family private variables and runtime crashes in the future, but it does not correct existing caps.(Rojohound)
    • [Add] The object bar now has the option to organize by object folders. (Rojohound)

    Animation Bar

    • [Fix] The animation bar would sometimes crash when dragging animations. (Rojohound)
    • [Fix] Fix for crash when clicking in the animator bar with multiple objects selected. (Rojohound)

    Runtime

    • [Fix] The top/left icon of the window now shows the correct icon. (Rojohound)
    • [Fix] Negative width/height pixel perfect collision bug fix. (Rojohound)
    • [Fix] Fixed a crash that could occur in the runtime when an object had multiple behaviours or containers. (Davo)
    • [Fix/Add] The Remove Attribute Action now works. (Rojohound)

    Plugins & behaviors

    • [Fix] Particle Spray can now be created then repositioned in the first frame without a trail being made (Davo)
    • [Add] Platform movement now has a new actions and expressions for 'local speed' so the values of speed will be the same with different gravity directions. (Davo)
    • [Add Platform movement now has 'additional velocity' which you can set to make the player move in the wind or along a conveyor belt (Davo)
    • [Add] Platform movement now has a 'inside obstacle' condition trigger - but this will sometimes trigger when you land on a moving platform so its still a wip (Davo)
    • [Fix] If you hold down the jump button, and then create an object with platform movement, the character would jump - this has been fixed. (Davo)

    Python

    • [Fix] The runtime will no longer crash if "Enable scripting" is checked and python scripts aren't used. (Rojohound)

    Effects

    • [Fix] Subtract.Fx now works correctly. (Rojohound)

  • This should all be doable with an extra 'step' parameter, right?

    For 1 to 10 step 2, or for 100 to 10 step -5, and so on.

  • Yeah, uni's gonna be a bit mad for a bit, so I think I might take the break I mentioned last week (at least I can relax now there's a solid build out!)

  • No, Construct 0.x only runs on Windows desktop, sorry. You could try making a HTML5 game in the Construct 2 preview, though (don't know which smartphones have HTML5 compatible browsers though).

  • I think excanvas does that to simulate canvas in IE, but it runs at literally 2fps.

  • R0J0 made a simple sound plugin. The editor doesn't have any support for importing sound files though - so you have to set up the sounds on the server yourself, and they don't play on preview. It's going to get done eventually, though.

  • Download Construct 2 public preview 28.4

    The crash on closing layout for some users should now be fixed. This was a really tough one which seems to have been something to do with OpenGL drivers - thanks to everyone in this thread for helping get it solved!

    Changelog

    • [FIX] Crash on closing layout

  • Oh, and...

  • Changes are on SVN. Thanks everyone, that's great!

    I made one more shotgun change on the suspicion the entire window destroy event was fired twice - it's one of those things that shouldn't be possible, but it seems like that's what really fixed it! I guess some OpenGL drivers have some bug (or just work that way, I don't know) where the window got destroyed twice for some reason. Really weird. Well, it's fixed! will push out 28.4 asap!

  • No crash and no check failure?

    Can anyone else confirm?

  • OK, thanks for the stack traces everyone, looks like the same issue. I suspect this is an OpenGL driver issue which is why I can't reproduce it.

    There's a new diagnostic build here (previous links are dead now). The reason it crashed before was an unhandled exception being thrown from the renderer - I've changed this for asserts so you should see a check failure instead of a crash. If you get a check failure, paste it here, and click ignore - hopefully you can ignore it and it won't crash. If that seems reliable, I'll just turn off the checks. If it still crashes, a stack trace will be handy again.

    Thanks everyone, this is a really difficult bug, but we'll get to the bottom of it!

  • It should load it automatically if the pdb is next to the EXE.

    Thanks for the reports folks, will try something new soon...

  • We need some way of differentiating from Construct 0.x and Construct 2 - I think just "Construct" would get confusing as hell at this point

  • Thanks everyone, surprisingly good response!
