Creator 1.25.50

Features

Custom fonts – You can now import fonts the same way you import audio and image files. Your imported fonts will show up in the Display Text font list. Old system fonts have been replaced by new ones that we supply. We will replace references to old fonts with our new ones, but you should check any actors that display text to make sure they look ok in your game.
Video Reward ads – We now support Chartboost and RevMob video reward ads.
Tapdaq – We now support the use of Tapdaq
Improved random number generator. Uses a better algorithm than the previous one.
New game attribute: Random Seed. For a given seed, a sequence of random numbers will be the same. Leave this attribute at -1 to make the seed random.
Updated to AdMob iOS SDK version 7.7.0
Updated to RevMob SDK version 9.0.8
Updated to Chartboost SDK version 6.4.0
Removed some old 3rd party plugins that are no longer being used to reduce app sizes

New motion and physics attributes:

Pin – Set at an actor’s Center of Mass, this allows the actor to rotate but not to move (with the exception of the actor colliding with a non-moveable actor, in which case it will move, but try to remain as close to the pin point as possible).
Can Sleep – This removes the actor from physics calculations if nothing is happening to it.
Better Collisions: results in more accurate collisions, at the expense of more computation power. Check this box if you see your actors interpenetrating or moving through each other when they shouldn’t.
New behavior: Quit Game. Exits your game. Mainly used for Android to simulate the player hitting the “back” device button. Does nothing on iOS devices.

New loop behavior option:

Max loops/frame – Normally, a loop will only run its behaviors once per frame. This allows you to set how many times the loop can run per frame. Be careful not to run loops too often per frame, as you can prevent other behaviors from running. What the best value is will depend on your game.

New animation behavior option:

You can give the animate behavior an integer attribute which will contain the current animation frame being displayed. This attribute is optional, and you can leave it blank if you don’t want that information.
Mac Creator: if a rule has behaviors in the “otherwise” section, the word “otherwise” will be bolded.

New features added to HTML5 and Arcade:

Custom collision shapes should now work for HTML5 / Arcade games
Music and sound files are now listed alphabetically when being selected from the list provided on a play music / play sound behavior

Bug Fixes:

1658 – The list of sounds and music in the PlaySound and PlayMusic behaviors is now sorted alphabetically.
1636 – The angular velocity attribute is stored as degrees rather than radians.
1621 – If an actor is set to tile and the tile width or height is 0 it could cause visual issues or a crash in preview, in the viewer, or * on a device. In this case the tile width/height are reset to the actor width/height when the project is loaded for preview, the viewer, or on a device so the user can see the issue and correct it in their project.
1602 – Display text not updating when table cell value changes
1499 – (Windows) Pressing reset button in native preview doesn’t reset game attributes
1618 – Chartboost ads need to be set as portrait and landscape to show up
1434 – AdMob banners display on all scenes once called
1363 – RevMob banners, when tapped, cause iOS apps to freeze upon returning
1242 – Free Trial accounts do not have Enable Advertisement checkboxes for Reset Scene and Reset Game
462 – Game Center alert in the viewer is off alignment in iOS8&9 making game unplayable
599 – ChartBoost ads do not pause app
1666 – The function “textReplaceAll” is spelled incorrectly on the Windows version
1600 – Random stuttering
1545 – self.Time does not count properly

Other info:

We noticed that larger GameSalad projects won’t successfully load on the iOS Viewer. This is due to the devices closing the project since they think it’s an inactive app if it loads for more than 10 seconds. To work around this issue you can ad hoc test your game or manually install the iOS Viewer and run it through Xcode, as it will not close under those conditions.
Custom collision shapes and various other new features may not work as intended for HTML5 games. We are working on fixes and will patch these issues when we have fixes available.

The Fire TV remote is moved down the player list as other gamepads are connected to the Fire TV. This will ensure gamepads with more buttons take precedence over the remote.

Fixes:

Fixed an issue that caused iAds to appear at the top even if set to show at the bottom

Fixed an issue with iOS apps where it could hang on start-up.

Fixed Revmob ads not displaying correctly in iOS 8.1.3

Changes From 0.13.5RC to 0.13.6

Fixed D-Pad buttons staying active if you roll your thumb across different directions without letting go.

Fixed a crash that could happen if a button was pressed repeatedly over a period of time.

Known Issues:

It is possible that the gamepad you are using is not supported or acts strangely when used in a GameSalad app. Most Android bluetooth gamepads should work. As well as most gamepads that emulate an XBOX 360 controller. Your Mileage May Vary. Additional gamepads may be officially supported in the future.

Most gamepads do not support both the analog and digital press of the triggers (L2 and R2). What this means is some gamepads will use the Left Shoulder 2 button (digital) while others will only use the Left Trigger axis (analog). Some gamepads may even use both. Plan accordingly.

Apps published through the Fire TV target in Web Publishing will only work on the Fire TV. You must specify that this app is only compatible with the Fire TV when submitting to Amazon otherwise your app will be rejected. If you want the app to run on Kindle Fire devices as well, use the Kindle target.

On the Fire TV, gamepads that have a BACK or SELECT button are usually mapped to the Fire TV back command.

The OUYA Gamepad’s analog capabilities do not work correctly in Creator. However, they do work on Android devices (including the FireTV)

Vendor and Product IDs report as -1 on Android, Kindle, and Fire TV.

Android devices running API level less than 16 (4.1 Jellybean) do not have gamepad support.

Open URL behaviors and ad services are not supported in Fire TV apps. Ads may show up based on the campaign, but the user will not be able to activate the ad. The Back button will dismiss an ad.

Creator 0.12.20

Features:

New in this version is account validation on Creator start. A valid account is one that was created through the GameSalad website, and has completed email validation. If you are having trouble logging into Creator, please be sure you have email validated your account. If you have not, reset your password, and it should validate your email that way. Validating your GameSalad account on start is necessary to access the full suite of features associated with your account permissions. Once you log into Creator using your GameSalad account credentials, you will stay logged in on that machine until you manually log out, so no need to do it every time. Once you have logged into Creator and your account has been validated, you may use Creator offline for up to 3 days before needing to log in again.

64-Bit Support added for iOS Apps and the iOS Viewer

Fixes:

Memory clean-up and fixes for Mac creator. You should now notice decreased CPU usage and memory footprint in OSX Yosemite.

Known Issues:

iAds are only appearing at the top of the screen even if set to appear at the bottom (Bug 688)

For iOS 8 devices, if you are unable to connect to the iOS Viewer, try shutting down and restarting the device.

Notes:

Due to changes in the image loading code we now only officially support 16 and 32 bit PNGs (with or without Alpha), 8 bit PNGs (without Alpha), with a subset of image creation tools and png optimizers. We have done compatibility testing with many of the popular image creation application. Here are the ones we know that work with our new loading code: Fireworks, Photoshop, Inkscape, Gimp, Illustrator. We have unofficial support for Blurizer or Posterizer (using pngnq). We do not support pngquant. Anything that is not on this list is not tested or does not work. These applications are what we are going to support in 0.11.0 for image creation. We do not support other PNG optimizers.
Viewers do not currently have the Stretch view; this will be coming in a later update.
Free users must select “yes” to using the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) when uploading their app through iTunes Connect, as well as check the first two Advertising Identifier options. Pro Users will only need to check this option based on whether or not they are using ads in their app.
To use your projects from an RC build, just rename your .gsrcproj files to .gameproj.
