Stencyl 1.1.1 (Installer now available as of 9/29)

Jon, is it ready to be downloaded for Windows as is? Are the modifications you're working on now just for Linux + Mac?

Every patch works on every OS. We don't ship binaries or special files for different systems.

Does 1.1 inlude a fix for the actor inside region bug?

Not yet. We've been stumped by this one ourselves.

Patience is a virtue. I've been here since 2008 and waited two to three years for this to finally go public, and I'm one of the few to be here for nearly the entire ride (except for the very beginning, because I found out via YouTube, but boy did I come early!).

Got it. I think I'll just wait then.

He's working on all three since Stencyl can't be run when the Stencyl folder is in unwritable folders. It's currently mostly usable I believe. It has the new design blocks and extensions so I think it's mostly done.

Whats the actor inside region bug?

Whats the actor inside region bug?

An actor will enter a region and then move out, however Stencyl will continue to behave as if the Actor is always within the region even when it is not.

At least, that's the bug I get

I think I've gotten something like that. It wouldn't switch scenes, and I lost control of my actor, but that was when I upgraded Stencyl from 1.04 b403 to b404.

I think the climbing behavior is affected by said region bug.

This is the same bug I get

If anyone would like to test out a proposed fix for the "actor inside region" issue - please save the attached "engine.swc" in your StencylWorks/plaf/flash directory (you can back up your existing file if you want). 

To recap, the issue is that if an Actor is inside a region, and you use blocks to set the x,y position of the Actor to move the Actor outside the region -- the region may still report the Actor as being inside it.

This patch should solve the issue for the majority of cases.  It may still fail if you're using a circular and/or polygon region and you change animations such that the collision box jumps in or out of the region.  Hopefully this is a rarer situation and the fix will correct the most typical scenarios. 

I don't mean to be bugging you Jon, but on August 2 you said it will be out next week. It's been a week since the proposed release date. D: When will it be out?

If you don't want to wait, you can always download the preview patches.

I know, but I want the least buggy version. When will it be out?

There are still pending issues before it's released. I have updated SW with the latest preview patch, and couldn't find any problem so far. My two cents.

Is there a full feature list of what to expect from the 1.1 release? I thought I remembered seeing that somewhere but can't find it now...
