Notes

It's the start of a new release cycle, and we have a huge update for you! First of all our macOS exporter has been almost completely overhauled to bring it in to line with our existing Windows and Linux support. It now supports options on exports such as setting permissions, it includes scripts to help with signing and notarization, it now supports the Steamworks plugin for Steam integration on macOS, and also the File System's support for directly accessing special folders. This means we now have our own in-house exporters for Windows, macOS, Linux and the Steam Deck, all with Steam and file system integration, and support for wrapper extensions with our addon SDK. Long-term our goal will be to phase out NW.js, so if there is anything still missing that you'd need to move over, let us know.

In addition to that we've added support for saving and loading color palettes in the Animations Editor, as well as some other related settings and improvements. Then on top of that we've added loads of feature requests submitted by our community! There's a range of other improvements including usability and performance improvements, internal upgrades, scripting updates and more. Take a look through the full changelog below for the full details on everything we've added and updated in this release, and happy testing!

  • Damn, Scirra went ham on this one.

  • love this update so much!

  • How about the Webview2 export options support Package assets?

    github.com/Scirra/Construct-feature-requests/issues/207

  • In the latest Construct3 update I added Linux support to my Steam game, looking forward to making it available on MacOS as well.! Scirra team is Onfire!!!

  • I saw that you guys were planning on phasing out NW.js, so I decided to try and support Webview2 on my main project.

    I assumed it would be pretty easy, since I secluded all of my addon events to one event sheet. But I ran into some difficulty with file operations. I normally use NW.js file operations, so I tried to switch them with the FileSystem plugin.

    It was more complicated than I thought. Why is it that with NW.js, I can easily check if a directory exists, easily create/delete files, and easily read them... but with FileSystem the process is so much more tedious? I have to list the contents of a specific folder first, then check if a subfolder exists... then list contents for the subfolder, etc etc. (I can't just do "folder/subfolder"?). And all of these actions are async, so what was once one or two events spans into a whole event trigger sequence.

    Is there any chance the FileSystem workflow can be a little easier in the future?

      I'm afraid file system operations must be asynchronous to support both browsers and wrapper extensions.

      For what it's worth, pretty much all modern storage APIs are asynchronous, so it is normal that doing something like file system access is asynchronous. Synchronous operations for that kind of thing have poor performance and can heavily jank the game, or in some cases cause it to freeze for periods of time.

      • I understand the async bit. I'm actually curious why NW.js wasn't async.

        But regardless, I still think the workflow can be easier! Is there any chance, for example, that listing contents doesn't have to be necessary for pre-given picker tags, like "<documents>"? Why can't I get the name of a file, or it's location, after a "File operation complete" trigger? Is using tokenat() on a file tag the only way to send data with a read file request?

  • Great release, thank you for the color palette addition.

  • This is one hell of a QoL release. Thank you so much for implementing so many feature requests too! (Including one of mine :3)

  • Great update!

    Can't wait to switch to in-house exporter and Steamworks when it works reliabily on Windows. However right now it's broken for some windows users so the workaround isn't viable yet. github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/8328

    (if anyone is also experiencing this issue with Steam Overlay using last Steamworks plugin on Windows, could you share some infos about your system to help Scirra to fix this issue?)

  • Saving and loading color palettes? This is great!

  • 👍

    Btw: Does export for Xbox work again with the current version?
