Notes

It's the start of a new beta release cycle! This release mainly brings updates to autocomplete in the scripting feature, including improvements to the way it makes suggestions and its handling of globally-scoped names. There are also various updates to plugins including the ability to set the position for banner adverts with Mobile Advert, choosing the front/back camera on mobile with User Media, and saving probability tables as JSON with Advanced Random.

As ever there are various other adjustmenets and a range of bug fixes, and we have more in the works behind the scenes, so stay tuned for more updates!

  • Suggestion: could beta's autosave file include release number, for example: project_autosave_r165.cp3 so that it is easy to roll back if we encounter a problem?

    • Or even better, if we could have the option to have incremental filenames. For example project_autosave_1.cp3. project_autosave_2.cp3 etc.

  • Nice! Possible to add subscription for IAP plugin (android) and cloud saves for Google Play and Xbox? 🤔

  • If you try and load a project through the file option you always get an error on version r165

      Please file a bug following all the guidelines to make sure we investigate any issues.

      • There should really be a specific place to file crashes. It is hard to file a bug report for a crash because you cannot fill out most of the fields. You should create a crash report option as well with less fields. Only the important ones like why did it crash, what were you doing when it crashed, what the error message says when it crashes, etc. Use only the ones that can easily be filled out by anyone.
