Buildbox 2 - Early Access - BETA5 is here

As ever, you need to contact support with any bugs you find. These guys want to crush every bug on Win and Mac prior to final release.

 

Great job
thx

 

Thanks guys

 

Looks like it's time to spend some monies Ridiculously excited - Let's get busy - Great job team BB!

 

Pretty Exciting to finish all what was started.

Just one question about Portal and Gatekeeper.
If character collect action before portal ( action gameplay, replace character ) and when it need to pass, does it need to pass in original character shape or need to pass is collected action shape?

As now we having passing in original character shape, not in collected action shape.
Thank to all.

 

Crashes galore. Looks like adding trails to default animations works sometimes but if you add a character select it crashes.

I've had other crashes on this build but I didn't take note because I was too busy being frustrated. I'll make a list and let support know...

Edit: If you don't set a character icon it crashes because it tries to add the effect to the character select menu.

 

Working really great on my current project, and quite a lot of bugs have been wiped out like the air drag on action now works fine if you keep it zero. One VERY slight problem that's occurring is that the switch button - When the game starts, the switch button takes one tap to start working properly. Now this is not happening on one world I've created but on another one. I'll try to find a fix to it, and if it really is a bug, then I'll let the support know. Nonetheless, really great work and thanks.

 

hi @Shawh
i have same problem
also i think it depends on the last switch button hit before the player dies and doesn't reset the switch
ex
A - B - A - Game Over - B - A - B - Game Over - A.....

 

We did a last minute fix to fix the double hit with switch, so if you come up with some way to reproduce definitely hit up support and we'll check for sure if it is an error or not.

 

When can we expect the MANUAL for BB2?
We explore the options by trial and error but it's so much better when you have a MANUAL

 

Hey Buddy,

We also had these problems in previous versions of BB and was our major delay, but its fixed in BETA 5 and works really well, only problem we have is that score doesn't continue when you pass through a menu jump into another world and resets to 0
We are using MAC - OSX10.9.5, maybe its just a PC problem.

 

Stage clear... Finally!!

Thanks!!

PD: BB the REAL software to make games without programming

 

Great work guys!
I am trying to use the function to use different backgrounds for different worlds as stated but when I changed one world it changed all worlds just as before. Please help me with this.

 

@andreas_kviby
Are you sure you are using BETA5 (B#1007)? I just tested this and it seems to be working OK.

 

When I create a path for a enemy character and preview the game it crashes every time. On the latest version BETA 5 (Windows 8).

 

@robert_mcmonagle we have not been able to duplicate crashing with Paths on Windows using either characters or enemy objects. Please email support@buildbox.com with a sample file so we can look into what is causing the issue and fix for the next release.

 

Alight I can send the file but basically it happens on any file I simply select platformer, world UI, 9 levels, create it, toss in a enemy with animation and make a path and run it and crash...

 

Is there anything we can now do with health?
i.e. display lives through a label int the game field UI?

 

Bummer me! I have now updated, I was to fast to update so I got the earlier one Thanks

 

Does anybody know why when I purchase a character using "Character Button -> Function: Unlock Random Character" takes a double amount of coins. So, if the character cost 500 and I have 500 I can unlock it, but if I have 1000 I can unlock it but it will take 1000 coins. Is it a bug? If so, I want to report it.
