Construct 0.98.8 released (stable)

Okay, this is on SourceForge now, updated the link. I've marked this build stable since there haven't been any serious new problems reported with it. I think we'll start a stable/unstable branching soon.

good one on the event sheet hotkeys!

THAT'S A MASSIVE CHANGELOG.

Very nice work there. I'm already falling in love with Construct.

Cheers

Why is this included?

The added sort-feature for the object layout is useful.

I didn't see that until now, ask rich!

ROFL! Rich is god-like xD

Nice release guys... looks like you have made some major headway towards a 1.0 release. Keep up the awesome work

Just a quick question cause I don't know if it's a bug.

If I set an object to 'global', like my mouse / keyboard object, then I should automatically see them whenever I create a new event, right?

I just created a new 'Title Screen' Layout and don't have any of the global objects in the new layout. If I copy and paste the object from another layout, it won't work either.

Which layer are they on? Might want to create them on the initial layer. If the new layout doesn't have the extra layer, then it might not pick the global objects up... just a hunch.

That shouldn't matter as far as Mouse & Keyboard are concerned, it's a Non-Layout object.

I just ran a quick test, creating a M&K object in layout 1, marking it global, and making several new layouts and extra event sheets, and it shows up in all of them. So I don't know what's going on.

Bug report?

Bug report?

What version are you running?

If I create a new direct x game, create a M&K object in layout 1 and set it to global and create a new layout, the M&K still will only show up in layout 1 and not in layout 2.

I'll put it into the bug tracker.

There still seems to be a bug in there that keeps me from swapping out placeholders with the real sprites.

I have a character placeholder in there (just a sprite-box) and there's an event coupled with it (Character / Dialogue) - If I then go ahead and double click the box to change the sprite, load up another one and exit the sprite editor to save my changes, I get an instant crash, reproducable every time.

Thought these bugs were gone by now.

The latest.

It's been reintroduce to keep you on your toes. Just put it on the tracker.

This isn't a bug, you need to place a global object in every layout you intend to use it in, using copy and paste.

No, that's not right... you should only need one global object on one layout, then it should appear everywhere...
