Argus News

Another update to Argus today. A few new features:
-Fix and new limits to the grid spacing. A value of zero would crash in v1.49 and prior.
-Return The Data Of The Object At Cursor Time now returns computed fractional, as well as final integer, values for texture frame and geometry frame.
-Duplicate Track Without Events removed, as, apart from the name, Add Track does the same job.
-New Continue/Cancel option when starting 3D mode when a frame exceeds the maximum. Muted tracks are no longer checked for this, either.
-New option to disable Delete Track confirmation.

And a few background code refinements of lesser importance.

Happy animating!

Hello Starpilots,

Flatspace and Flatspace IIk have been updated today. A rare crash bug in Flatspace IIk has been fixed and the game engines for both games updated. Thanks to Charu Shardul for his help in pointing this out and supplying an essential save game.

The icons on Load Game screen, and Missions screens in Flatspace, have been rearranged to make everything look neater. Flatspace should now have the same interface spacing as Flatspace IIk.

Store artwork for both games have doubled in resolution too, and the Official Flatspace website, www.lostinflatspace.com, has been updated for the first time in over a year.

Another small update to Argus. This includes a bug fix to the include/append film option for films which include Set Modulator events. Before this, the modulator numbers were not updated correctly.

Happy animating!

A major SFXEngine update is live today. SFXEngine v2.00 has a bunch of new features for new sound creation and batch audio processing. There's a new look, and about 25% of the core code has been rewritten. New features include:

-New sample structure with double pointers, permitting samples beyond 90 seconds and up to several hours (as memory permits).
-New double modulator pointers for increased accuracy.
-New global sample rate option to change the core program frequency. Projects and sounds remain compatible between sample rates and will automatically resample and remap, but all filters will need manual adjustment if resampling.
-New V01 file format for projects and programs. V00 format files will import seamlessly.
-New dynamically allocated floatutility and longutility variables for engines.
-New global transpose and tuning.
-New Revision number per project, incremented upon each save.
-Improved batch csv export to prevent infinite loops, and report if no files are found.
-Improved main wav loader to skip cue chunks.
-New Locate Usage option for samples and modulators will count all uses, and locate the next use, of the current sample or modulator.
-Lots of little bug fixes and improvements.

And more! The complete Bolt-On Bundle is live today too, with a 50% discount when purchasing all Bolt-On DLC. This will prepare the way for new preset/resource packs in 2025.
