ZGameEditor 1.7.8: Bugfixes

Post by **VilleK** » Tue May 13, 2008 2:33 pm

Changes in 1.7.8 version:

* New: Icon-property on Application-component. Load a ICO file to get an custom icon to your ZGE-games. Note that the icon only gets inserted in the exe when you choose "Build and compress". Feature suggested by jph.
* New: Find Component dialog. Activate with Ctrl-F. This is a very simple search function for finding components in large projects. You can only search for the complete component name now, future improvements may include substring-matching. Feature suggested by myraneal.
* New: CharCode-property on KeyPress component as an alternate technique for detecting keypress. With this property you can detect control keys such as Ctrl, Shift, Tab and Return (suggested by Kjell).
* New: Osc2Volume property on Sound component for controlling the volume of the second oscillator (suggested by jph).
* Fixed: Timer-components did not reset properly when running several application preview in designer (reported by Kjell).
* Fixed: "." should always be the decimal separator in designer even if you change the international settings in windows. Reported by myraneal here.
* Fixed: OpenGL error in designer reported by myraneal here. There can still be problems, please report about any strange behavior in preview window.

Jph, you are right! It is because collision is using the same "byte" datatype like the new CharCode property of KeyPress-component. So I increased the number in order to be able to catch all control characters below 32.

"able to catch all control characters below 32" - about that, a nice list of what they are would sure help,. as when i search ASCII codes i find some strange codes in that range,. could you add them to the doc pages, pretty please! You know I lov you,. right?

may even make more sence to just have the editor list them in human readable form in the editor,. i.e <shift> <esc> etc., but likely more work, so do what keeps YOU happy!
