Construct 0.96.4 released

Download 0.96.4 now

This build verifies autosaves and has a new autobackup system which is more fully featured. All saving in Construct is now verified, so in theory, from now on, Construct should never save unloadable .caps to disk. We've also upgraded to a new version of the UI library which fixes some long standing UI bugs (eg. custom colour properties) and has a new theme.

Don't forget you can support Construct by donating via the 'Donate' button on the front page.

General

• [FIX] Autosaves now are verified and should not be able to be corrupted
• [FIX] Colour parameters in properties now work correctly
• [FIX] Crash adding a new family
• [CHANGE] Autobackup: now can select a number of autobackups to make, and changed the way autobackups are saved. Also, you can now enable autobackups for either only manual saves, only autosaves, or both.
• [CHANGE] Now using Version 2.83 of Prof-UIs library, should be more stable with some bugs fixed. Uses a slightly different theme.

Object Bar

• [FIX] Crash opening event sheets
• [FIX] Did not update when objects renamed

Plugins

• [ADD] Sprite: Compare animation frame, Get animation frame, Get animation name
• [FIX] Sprite: resizing when using 'Play animation'

Behaviors

• [ADD] Physics: custom collision masks. Collision mask editor is fairly limited in this build but will be expanded.
• [FIX] Physics: various unimplemented features since move to Box2D engine (eg. velocityX/Y expressions)

Runtime

• [ADD] 'linearaim' expression: Returns angle to aim at for predictive aiming as per this example. Expression uses the following parameters: linearaim(bullet x, bullet y, bullet speed, target x, target y, target speed, target angle)
• [FIX] 'Trigger once' false positives when dragging window

Wow, great/significant changes as always!

Woooooo! Excellent update! I can finally work on an Incredible Machine clone.

Great. Really great. I really appreciate all the work you guys put in to this.

I got it and instantly made use of the new animation stuff to make an awesome after image effect. Thanks!

For some reason it wont let me download or access the Construct files/project on Sourceforge

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems the all of the files on SourceForge are erroring for me

Great update Ashley, the animation frame things will come in useful for me.

Argh I can't figure it out and I can't edit my other post

Can someone upload 0.96.4 for me? Or, Ashley could you put it up on Download.com?

EDIT: Just to save another post, Thanks AsparagusTrevor!

Here you go Jayjay: Construct 0.96.4

I can't download anything from SourceForge either, damnit.

Very good job Ashley

New Construct is more pretty

And it feels... quicker. Don't know if i'm making things up, but everything seems a lot quicker.

I saw on main page (http://scirra.com/) and I don't see info about new Construct's version.

Ashley - do something whit this

Custom collision masks works perfectly!!! Oh man! this is such a great day!!!

I thought I might leave it a day in case the new UI library broke anything big-time. It sounds OK, so I think I'll post it around now
