New Version Release + Part 4 Video + Back to School Sale & E-Books
Stay cool because we just released the third new update this year for 001 Game Creator, with new changes and performance improvements! We hope that you enjoy this new version (2021.008.000) and checkout the highlighted features that are mentioned below before this hot summer ends.
[h2]Irregular Shaped Actors (like Vehicles, Airplanes, etc.)[/h2]
Folks who are using irregular shaped actors (like vehicles, airplanes, etc.) in their projects will enjoy this new update! We've fixed the edge case issues with irregular shaped actors moving between map boundary connections, and we've even fixed the AI pathfinding issues too.
[h2]Improper Valid Saves & d8vb.dll Isn't Registered[/h2]
We have also fixed sprite and item templates not saving properly as well as fixing some incorrect template associations for body sprites in the MMORPG template. Besides making template changes, we also clarified for users that a restart must be performed if dx8vb.dll isn't registered properly for built games.
[h2]Submerged Actors Using Equipment[/h2]
What if an equipment cannot be properly used underwater? Some users noticed that they could not use any equipment when their actors are submerged underwater. We've resolved this issue, but users can create scripts if they don't want submerged actors to use any equipment.
[h2]Highlights from Previous Updates[/h2]
We have been releasing new updates this year, and there were some cool stuff, so make sure you have the newest version! You should see 2021.008.000. If not, then you might not be able to see these cool changes. Folks can now use the Render Priority Option for Actors; List Option in custom events and network messages; and the maximum and minimum speed as well as opacity for the clouds and rain. Mobile users will no longer deal with the inaccurate Android touches from certain manufacturers (OnePlus, LG and Redmi). We also fixed the conversions of text to any numbers that were stored in variables because it greatly impacted the stored numbers in variables on Android, iOS and HTML5. Other hot fixes include the log messages that were not disappearing over time after executing custom events within the map/interface editors; and some crashes that focuses on the player or party.
As always, we appreciate the continued support and feedback that we receive from both the community and our Patreons. You can view the full list of changes for the newest update and the previous ones from the changelog: https://001gamecreator.com/changes/
