I like the idea, but I was also considering enhanced containers for modular code (ie. a container which can contain events, other objects etc. and be copied/pasted around with complete functionality in one go, no need for "variable" objects because everything needed is pasted in). How do you think this idea compares to that?

It's on the SourceForge CVS.

I've never been able to reproduce it on my computer, so there is very little I can do: to me, everything looks like it works fine.

I need more information, such as does saving/closing/re-loading have any effect, does it happen 100% of the time, are there any application settings that affect it, etc? Anything else you can think of that would be helpful? Also, does it happen specifically on 0.99.4 or 0.99.42 (they are different builds, listed here - this would help me track down the precise code changes that happened around then).

It's a nice idea though and a common question - maybe some feature could be developed to make it easier, at least.

Which bug was that? I think I marked a bug similar to that as 'can't reproduce', so you'd need to provide a way for me to reproduce it.

Wow, that 2D Guild Wars intro has to be the most beautiful 2D artwork I've seen. Much more artistic and pleasing to the eye than 99% of 3D scenes out there.

Lucid is right. I might have called it too early on this build, but it's still a sound idea. It's intended that people test unstable builds on backed-up copies of their work and report back any problems.

It would be better to use four animation frames than four sprites - it makes more sense that way, and you wouldn't need a 'destroy object by name' action.

Yeah, add a serialize() to the struct that does ar << a << b << c etc, and the same for loading (ar >> a >> b >> c). Then to save the whole vector, save the size, then for each element, call its serialize(). To load it, load the size, clear the vector, then for each element serialize() it in to a temporary struct and push it back to the vector.

Normally you'd just save the size then iterate each element saving them. When loading do the reverse - load the number of elements then for that number of times, load an element and add it to the vector.

A degree of reverse engineering is always possible in all programs (if you had the tools you can disassemble any compiled program back to assembly, for example - and this is especially problematic for .NET I think, which relies on obfuscators).

Considering the amount of work it'd take to reverse engineer a Construct EXE I'd say it's implausible for now - and remember you lose all edittime-only things like comments.
