This is AGS 4.0 Early Alpha 8.
Contains updates and fixes from 3.6.1 Beta 16 to RC5 (except ones related to backwards compatibility).
Other changes:
Editor:
- Added Enabled and Visible properties to Characters, Enabled property to Room Objects.
- Added FaceDirectionRatio property to General Settings, Room and Walkable Areas.
Script API:
- Added WalkableArea and Walkbehind structs which let work with these region types in OO-style.
- Added Character.Enabled and Visible properties, added Object.Enabled property, Character.on is deprecated.
- Added Game.FaceDirectionRatio, Room.FaceDirectionRatio, WalkableArea.FaceDirectionRatio and Character.FaceDirectionRatio.
- Added File.Rename().
- ListBox.FillSaveGameList(), RestoreGameDialog() and SaveGameDialog() now let define a range of save slots for display.
- Added MoveSaveSlot() which renames a savegame.
- Added "walkarea[]" and "walkbehind[]" global arrays.
- Global arrays of game objects (Characters, GUIs, etc) are now declared as arrays of object pointers. From the user's perspective this is a mere formality, as working with these arrays will be syntactically same, but this makes it easier for the engine to handle these arrays and objects internally.
- Removed Object.MergeIntoBackground() function as redundant, and complicating Object's logic.
Engine:
- AudioChannel.Position and PositionMs no longer return a very large value while skipping cutscene.
- DeleteSaveSlot() no longer causes highest save to be renamed to fill a gap in saves.
