Update to 1.4


What's new in version 1.4

  • You can now set actors to be solid on all sides, not just the top. This is still experimental, so if you come across any bugs please let me know and I'll try to solve them asap. It's exciting though! You can use this to create destructible parts of levels, push the player around, and much more.
  • Added new run options (no running, and enhanced smooth acceleration). The default smooth acceleration still works like traditional GBStudio, but enhanced uses the walk acceleration rate for its first half before switching to the run rate. It also includes slipperiness.
  • Slipperiness. By default GBStudio has the player turn immediately when they press the opposite direction. Now you can give a sense that there speed has some force behind it by making it take a few frames to slow down and go the opposite way.
  • Fixed issues with dash-jump. Previously the jump would interrupt the dash, making it look pretty silly. Now you can combine them like Mega Man X. Try it by turning on Vertical Momentum in the dash setting.
  • Fixed Add Jump Boost from Run Speed%. Previously it was capping out at a low amount, I've re-written the code so you should be able to add a lot more oomph.
  • Changed how Jump Frames are calculated. If you were previously using jump frames, you may need to tweak this value (specifically, try subtracting Gravity while Jumping * Jump Frames from your total Jump Velocity). You can now have a much longer boost stage if you increase the jump frames.
  • More states are now available to track in the P+ Event State plugin. You can check for either the first frame of a state (like the first frame someone starts jumping). Or you can just check for the overall state of jumping.
  • More variables are available in the P+ Event Fields plugin. You can now track what kind of jump a player is performing and how many frames of coyote time they have left.
  • Major changes to how the code is structured that should make it more efficient, and easier to maintain in the long term. I'll be creating a GitHub repository soon to make it easier for other folks to change and update P+.
