Thank you once again for all your patience

 

Thanks for release . But what is with buildbox 2.3.8 update ? Any news fixed ?

 

Hi @Sean Buildbox,
Thanks. Saving Settings is crucial for testing games in BB Preview and give options for the Developer/Designers to reset.

Otherwise, It is very hard for a game developer to check games from the state, where he left in Preview itself. Earlier BB3 is like that but now the game is reset on every launch. Now the only way is to check this issue in Device and then fix in Buildbox. It's such tedious work.

Unity is already doing this. It's an important fix but I don't know why other peoples not expecting and reporting this fix.

 

I already released an SKLevelSelector Node for User to Start Levels from where he left on next Launch.https://www.buildbox.com/forum/inde...levels-by-worlds-in-bb3-for-non-coders.18013/

But right now, they no way to test this from Preview itself. For that developer need to export and test in Device and it is very hard for them to find an issue and fix. Saving Settings for a game in the preview is easier and alow Developer/Designer to have options for reset.

 

i m one of them who reported it but they dont care

 

2.3.8 #2535 is official. We're working on 2.3.9 as well. Let refer any BB2 discussion to appropriate BB2 threads/discussion:

OSX: http://download.buildbox.com/buildbox/2.3.8/Buildbox_2.3.8-2535.dmg

WIN: http://download.buildbox.com/buildbox/2.3.8/Buildbox_2.3.8-2535.exe

As we've discussed before we're working on this option (a soft reset/hard reset for BB preview). In the meantime testing on device is necessary for the time being, but it is a priority. It did not make it into this update unfortunately.

 

where is fixed checkpoints?

 

Thanks @Sean Buildbox

 

@Sean Buildbox -> Have you fixed: Random Worlds Logic in this build as it does not save properly when adding more than 3 outputs?

 

@itzonator I can confirm it is fixed for the next major update, unfortunately it did not make this build. You'll have the major update soon with it resolved

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

@Sean Buildbox Please pin this thread. I posted in previous release thread. I am reposting here for follow up.

Issue:
Lable inside an Asset in World is always sorted on Top, need to be sorted based on where that asset positioned inside the Scene.

Here is a screenshot. Red Plane is above Green Cube (Labeled with text 2). But the text is showing above the Red Plane, will DM you the bbdoc file.

This was a long wait, I was really looking forward to this version but unfortunately, it's worst than the lastest beta. The performance is terrible, everything is slow and full of glitches. Also, BB3 crashes when I turn on the preview mode. I've been postponing two titles for more than 5 months because of your irresponsibility. Disaster.

 

thanks

 

When bb3 will be more optimized for Android devices. On my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 is very terrible.
Also when bb3 will have a game center?

Thanks and kind regards

 

AnimationComponent .setFrame(10) function is missing.

I am trying to add Circular Progress Animation using Animation Component.
But setFrame(10) function is missing to implement.


Start :function AnimationComponent() {
[native code]
}
constructor
setPosition
position
setRotation
rotation
setScale
setFrame // Function is missing.
scale
setAnimation
animation
localAABB
transformedAABB
worldAABB
transformedOBB
worldOBB
setVisible
isVisible
End:function AnimationComponent() {
[native code]
}

 

Change-log for BB2 #2535? @Sean Buildbox

 

Here is the reference of the circular progress bar in Hollo Ball Game. If setFrame function is there then we can do it.

Thanks, @Sean Buildbox Circular progress bar is useful in many HCGames. Right now, apart from horizontal progress bar, no way to create in BB3. And one more issue in Animation Component setVisible (true/false) is not working. I am using a workaround with setScale(0,0,0);
