New 001 Game Creator Version 2021.004.000 + 001/DLC Sale + Amazon Book Sale
We're thrilled to release the second new update this year for 001 Game Creator, with new changes and performance improvements! We hope that you enjoy this major update and checkout the things that are mentioned below.
[h2]Render Priority Option for Actors[/h2]
If you have a project that focuses on one-on-one combat between actors or actors that constantly overlap with each other, then you'll love this new feature. We have added the "Render Priority" option to actors. The "Render Priority" will support rendering of semi-transparent actors against each other properly when they partially overlap, or when handing z-fighting issues.
[h2]Hot Fix for the Tile-Set Editor on Tiles and Terraformations
[/h2]
This version also fixes the memory leaks and loss of graphics in the tile-set editor when copying, pasting and editing tiles and terraformations. Therefore, you should be able to preview everything without experiencing any graphical issues throughout the editing process.
[h2]Inaccurate Android Touches & Text to Number Conversions (on Android, iOS & HTML5)[/h2]
Additionally, mobile users will notice that this version fixes the inaccurate Android touches from certain manufacturers (OnePlus, LG and Redmi). We've been working hard to include this fix, so these mobile users won't deal with this issue anymore. Engine users should also notice that we fixed the conversions of text to any numbers that were stored in variables because it greatly impacted the stored numbers in variables on Andriod, iOS and HTML5.
[h2]Smoother Animations in the 3D Action-RPG Template[/h2]
Apart from making Android fixes, users should see smoother animations in the 3D Action-RPG Template. We were able to fix the rendering overlaps and smooth out the animation stuttering. Additionally, we fixed the missing airplane animation as well.
[h2]Log Messages Won't Disappear Over Time[/h2]
Users have submitted reports that the log messages were not disappearing over time after executing custom events within the map/interface editors. We fixed that issued and hope that you take advantage in using custom events within the map/interface editors. As a quick reminder, we recently released a new feature from the previous update that enables users to click "list" option in custom events and network messages. Game developers who are making a life simulator game in a farm environment might find it beneficial to have a custom event that lists the animals, animal actions and more.
[h2]Too Many Terraformations[/h2]
We've gotten reports from folks who experienced an issue when creating too many terraformations. We've fixed the problem and wanted to mention that more users should often use the terraformation system. The tile terraformation window allows the user to utilize concave and convex tiles (as well as neighboring tiles as an option), which means that that the user can ultimately change how a pool of water should be visually seen when it on the ground or grass tiles. Variability options (like color and rotation) are also available to the user when making a change in the terraformation.
[h2]Map Boundary Connections & Party Crashes[/h2]
After talking about terraformation, maybe some folks might want to create a race car game or a project involving vehicles. If so, game developers will be excited to know that we corrected the vehicles for not properly responding to the map boundary connections. For engine users who are not interested involving any vehicles, we also fixed some crashes that focuses on the player or party. We fixed the crash when the user is changing the starting player's location in setting while no maps or interfaces are loaded, and we fixed the crash when attempting to remove a party member from an empty party.
[h2]Highlights from the Previous Updates[/h2]
Please be sure to always check if you are using the latest version. We've fixed many things and continue to bring new changes. One of those changes include fixing graphics that turned into white squares after restarting a game in a built PC/Steam game. Another change includes improving the video card capability of 3D models with more than 40 bones when users reported seeing graphical glitches with 3D models in general. Besides getting an update that fixes issues, you gain some cool features as well. We expanded the script options for map events. These options include changing the maximum and minimum speed as well as the opacity for the clouds and rain.
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/
