gameEditor 1.4.1 Announcement [Beta Released]

[PerrySteven]

Hi everyone.

I have some severe bugs to report. I don't know whether it's something else or not, but here is the thing...

When I tried exporting the game the program simply crashed. When I was in editor mode and tried to delete actors the game also crashed.

I am using Windows 8.1.

Any news on the next update? You seemed pretty close last time I looked. Again, thanks for all the hard work!

I haven't made any progress since last I posted about my macbook breaking. I am getting access to another mac next week so I can finish up the mac export.

The imminent project I am working on will look like it is made in gE 1.9.5b (from the future) though.
..Where is the changelog of 1.4.1b I am wondering?

well, same problem with me. I just can't export any game using GE 1.4.1. even for exporting tutorial game.

I have no problem when using GE 1.4.0. but when i want to export using that, my game can't be loaded because it have been edited by GE 1.4.1.

I'm also curious; were you able to fix that "Obfuscated letters" bug? The one where, in the script editor and the menus during editing, random letters will start uncontrollably cycling through character sets? I noticed it starts going crazy when I get heavy with strings and arrays (which I use to parse animation changes). IDK if it had been brought up before, but it is sure a strange one.

That's because I didn't compile the engines for that version of the beta. They'll definitely be there in the final release.

I haven't taken a look at that one. The bug has been reported before so I know it exists but since I don't have an isolated example of it it may be a while until it is fixed.

Yes. It looks to me like leaking from unterminated string. But unfortunately I by myself don't know how is this possible in a text box / text area with INS >>
For interface elements I am only familiar with Qt (C++) and GTK+ (C). And I haven't seen such behavior there so with that consideration I can say that this problem occur rather SDL-specific.

If I have to think more logically.. I don't think this looks like a default text area. I don't know if it is manually or partially manually coded.
If so.. it could be in that. If the mechanism is "fetch user keyboard input and print it in the text area" than it could be format attack.
Otherwise.. SDL-specific problem.

Exactly one month later; the plot thickens......
