This is AGS 4.0 Early Alpha 10.

Contains updates and fixes from 3.6.1 up to Patch 2 (except ones related to backwards compatibility).

Other changes:

Editor:

  • More panes in the Editor are DPI-aware (rescale well with the system font scaling).
  • Editor tabs now display icons indicating their contents (may be disabled in Editor Preferences).
  • Room panel tabs now display room names.
  • Support reordering folders in Project Explorer with drag & drop.
  • Support importing plain script files: ash, asc or both, - besides script modules (*.scm).
  • Added "Controls transparency" slider to GUI edit pane.
  • Fixed few problems occuring when importing old rooms into the new editor.
  • Fixed some of the new files could be left after old room upgrade in case of a failure.
  • Fixed import, palette remap and compilation of 8-bit room backgrounds in 8-bit games.
  • Fixed double warning message when trying to close the Editor while a game test is running.

Script API:

  • Added Character.MoveStraight() complementing WalkStraight().
  • Added String.Join(), String.Split() and String.Trim() functions.
  • Added System.GetEngineInteger() and System.GetEngineString() for returning diagnostic information about engine's runtime state. Possible arguments are defined by EngineValueID enum.

Engine:

  • Overlay.X and Y properties of textual screen overlays, such as blocking speech, now treat assigned values correctly as screen coordinates and return values set by user consistently. They also return the assigned values without any offsets for textual overlays created using a TextWindow (having extra borders and padding).
  • Added "--no-plugins" command-line argument that denies loading any plugins; also added respective config option.
  • Fixed taking screenshots not working properly (regression in AGS 4.0).
