Build 293.1 - Release version

Found this display issue on System Box objects, it seems to only happens in DX11...
Basically when resizing the subapp with a system box inside, the box will maintain the size like it should, but the text will stretch out of bounds with the frame resize...

Here's a demonstration:
Attachment 29962

I also think I found another related to Sub-Apps, I'm still doing some tests, but basically the sub-app would be cropped to the original frame size, despite resizing it with Window object.
It appears that it not always happen, so this may be some kind of corruption, because it happened on a mfa but not on another, then I copied the bugged frame, the problem still shows, but when I tried the original frame that was working, it's not glitching the same way (crop the frame, repeat background color or last pixel forever, it's a bit hard to explain...)
I found that hard coding a bigger app resolution would increase the limit where it can go without cropping it, but it's just weird that it doesn't happen in all mfas... Some wouldn't be cropped at all...

I might have mentioned this in the past, but it would be great if there was a way we could add qualifiers to multiple objects without potentially erasing existing qualifiers.

Currently, you can only safely add qualifiers to a selected group of objects if every object in your selection has an identical set of qualifiers (ie. every object contains the same qualifiers, only those qualifiers, and those qualifiers were all applied in the same order). If there is any variation in your selection, then adding a new qualifier to them will erase all pre-existing qualifiers from all selected objects (which can be disastrous if you do it accidentally as there's no way to undo this and no way to see what qualifiers were removed, other than by checking an earlier version of the MFA)

As an aside, the "select all objects with the same qualifiers" feature in :cf25+: doesn't help here (and is probably misnamed) as it doesn't select only objects with an identical set of qualifiers. So if you choose "select all objects with the same qualifiers" on an object with qualifiers ABC, you might end up with a group like:
ABC
ABC
ABC
ABCD
ACB
BCA

If you then try and add qualifier E to this group, you'll end up with just:
E
E
E
E
E
E

This limitation can make it quite tedious to apply qualifiers to large groups of objects, as you often end up needing to do it one-by-one.

In expression calculator I cannot enter Sin() using "Alt" key since S is already taken by Sqr.

I noticed something on 2.5+ that I think should be changed:
Closed password protected groups can't be opened without the password (and this is right), so you can't see what's there, but it seems like you can copy the entire group as text with 2.5+ even when closed, so if it has sensitive data it could be stolen...
I think this should be changed to protect the events that are there, since for this very same reason you can't open a password protected group after it has been closed.

Another suggestion, would be interesting to get Sharp-Bilinear mode for rotation and scale, looks a lot better for pixel art and shouldn't be too hard to implement like RotSprite or something...

Also, I think Yves should be aware by now, but Profiler is wrongfully pointing to frame events when there's no events in it (all events on behaviors or global event editor) and this can lead to a crash, there was some people that got it to think comments and disabled events was taking lots of time to process, so there also might be an event number parsing error or something... I'm awaiting for more proof of this

There is a bug in the Sub-Application object:

Basically when there is a Sub-Application object ( with the " Display as sprite " option ticked on ) and the frame that contains that sub app and the frame that the Sub app displays scroll at the same time, it doubles the sub app Frame rate.
I solved this issue by making the main frame ( that contains the sub app ) and the Sub app frame it self in one master frame that displays the two frames as a sub app Note: that " master frame " doesn't scroll

I really hope that this will be fixed, because this problem is really annoying to to me especially when there aren't any Sub-Application object alternatives out there

hi, is a new version comming soon to solve the problem SAVE/LOAD please? because a must make an .exe without this beug for the march 10.

Not sure if it's by intention or not but the Library window doesn't sort objects by name. They seem to be sorted by their creation time instead. For organizing and consistency's sake it'd be helpful if they were sorted alphabetically, like the other object lists do.

I'm sure people already asked for this, but could we get a proper built-in DeltaTime to be used on expressions?

I know there are many ways of doing this with events (most not accurate) and I believe this being done natively would be a lot more efficient and easy to use with any custom movement...
I have a 144hz monitor and I really wish to see my games running properly without speeding up more than it should, or slowing down too much in weaker computers...
You don't need a high refresh rate monitor to test this tho, you can just disable vsync and set the framerate to whatever you want to check if it's moving on the same pace after adding the DeltaTime to the equation...

hello
is the version with "load scene no crash" soon available please? or it is possible to reactivate download of last versions please? i need a version without this bug very quicly

The zoom selector sometimes gets like this: Attachment 29979

This problem has no fix other than resetting the toolbar, but that will reset all the customization I done to it, and the worst part that it happens frequently!
I don't really know what triggers it, it just happens randomly, but I have to say that I use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom all the time so maybe that involves in the problem occurring but again I don't really know...
Hope that it can be fixed, because honestly it's very annoying to me who uses the engine all the time

I don't know why the image I attached before doesn't show up anymore but here it is again...

You probably know this already. But just in case you don't: you can save your toolbar settings by right-clicking on the toolbar and choosing "export settings" (this will save your hotkeys and window layout too).

So once you get it how you like it, and error-free, export the settings. Then the next time the problem happens, just import those same settings.

Yeah I know that already but thanks for informing me :)

I just want this to be fixed ( if possible ) because it can be annoying sometimes

the thing that would be really cool would be a small drop-down menu in the toolbar in which there would be all the groups created, by clicking on a group we would go directly to the first line of this group in the editor window

Two things that caught my attention...
It seems like when you set an animation with an expression, close it and open it again, it shows "Result should be between 1 and 16" instead of "Result should be greater or equal than 0" which is a weird glitch...

And when switching animations to inexistent animations, the expression to get the current animation value returns the number of the inexistent animation instead of the max animation number...
This is odd and should work a bit more like the animation frame expression do: It returns the max amount of animations frames if it tries to get a inexistent animation frame.

It seems like OR (Filtered) will not work properly if there's a pressing condition above the conditions that will scope an object.
Looks like it just ignores the secondary conditions if "Upon pressing" is right bellow the OR (filtered), although it works if the Upon Pressing is a parent and the conditions and OR (filtered) are in a child event.

A person from ClickConverse pointed this out, here's the example:

Attachment 29994

I wish we had

- an ability to create custom hitbox directly in object editor on each frame, which can be different than sprite's shape
- an ability to have more origin(action) points beside hot spot, action point

tho we don't, so some things are a bit more compliated (time-consuming) to do each time. For example, we need to pair objects with hitbox, everytime we don't want to have it based on sprite collision.
I think it it's not doable with current Fusion build, but still hope we can see this in the future either with an update or in F3.

you can get around this using multiple objects together, and using just 1 of them visibly.

Found a bug related to importing images as the application icon:

It can't import spritesheet, it simply replaces the first icon only.
BUT, when you try importing as animation (numbered images) it will import, but it will make all icons frames the same size (256x256), meaning it will break the icons since you can't crop it to the proper size...
After doing this the icons are completely broken, they won't show up anywhere, showing a blank icon instead and can't be replaced without moving all frames and events to an entirely new application.
I've seen a person do this a while ago and I didn't understood what was happening, now I see how this can happen, this is a major problem for people that exports their icons and load it back in other applications.

The best way to import the icon: import only the 256x256 image (16 million colors with alpha channel) and then right-click it and select "Copy to other resolutions".

If you made a mistake and want to reset the icon, presss SHIFT+CTRL when you click the Edit button in the Icon property.

Thanks for the solution!
Although would be nice if all icons could be imported at the same time, not always the icons generated by Fusion look the best, sometimes people also want to make custom smaller resolution versions as well, but that's fine...
Adding a custom default icon would be cool tho!

Found another bug related to the changes on edrt.exe, sometimes it will keep running in the background after closing the app window, giving the error "Encountered a sharing violation while accessing ... Temp\mftC097.tmp\app0.ccn."
This can also mess up Steam opening Fusion again since it can't close edrt.exe automatically, Steam will say Fusion is still running if edrt.exe is running even with Fusion and Steam completely closed before trying to open Fusion again...
Manually killing edrt.exe process do work but some people may think they need to restart their computers with can be a time consuming and a bad thing when the person can't close something that they need running in the background.

Ah, I was wondering if the backup format could be changed to avoid confusion, .001 (numbered file types, 3 digits) are usually used by compressing softwares as multiple parts of a compacted file, so people get really confused when they see it with the icon of WinZip/WinRar or something...
For a long time me and other people believed that was like a cache file when you edit a mfa, some think this is just an error or even corrupted files...

So would be nice to change to something like .f001 or something (it seems like filetypes aren't really limited to 3 characters), so it people could make it open with Fusion directly without messing with other file associations...
Also, it would really help with organization if it was a bit more like Adobe does on After Effects, it doesn't place the file loose on the same folder as the original, it creates a folder with the project name and create these backups inside this folder, would be really useful for people that set the backup to a high number so it wouldn't crowd the desktop or any other folder the mfa is in...

I'm making some nice icons on the new Windows 10 style (available for Windows Insiders right now) :)
So would be nice if the backup files weren't messed up by compressing softwares that has nothing to do with Fusion, I could even make a backup file icon for it :D
Here's a preview:

There's a Memory leak with Media Foundation when reloading mp4 files.
even when restarting the frame.

I can't reproduce this problem, does this happen with any MFA?

I think so, although I happened a lot with my latest small project, seems a bit random, I'm not sure what causes it...
If this helps: on the mfa that happened twice I was using Registry, Get, String Tokenizer and File object for loading files and directories...
It might be related with one of these extensions, I think Get and File object are the most likely ones to cause this...

I'll check with Get, thanks. Did anyone else notice it?

I can't reproduce it. Could you upload a simple MFA?

And does this happen with other video formats? If not, maybe the memory leak is in the codec used by this MP4 file?

I've seen this happen to some people, I think I found the problem, it's File object after loading a file, it almost ever keep the edrt.exe running closing the window...

this has the mfa and video

so far other formats work fine.

just tested a avi and wmv on these settings, they also do it but not when "Use Media Foundation with DirectX11" is ticked.

I have this request for 2.5+,

Can we have better bookmark system? That brings you to certain line/editor which you've bookmarked?

I have thousands lines in project and due to constant swaping between editors they get reseted all the time. Current bookmarks are not effective enough.

Something like if we could add custom bookmarks (more than 5+) and name it, then to call this from some kind of list that'd take you to the line would be great addition to the tool. I spend most of time scrolling searching groups, subgroups, events itself.

When using physics movement, Fusion automatically sets Physics collision points for the objects but the problem it's not always accurate as documented:
Attachment 30004
And even if it was accurate sometimes I want these points to be somewhere else
So it would be really nice if we have a way to set these manually, via an action that opens the expression editor to set the position for point 1 then point 2 then point 3...etc, or even via the properties of the physical movement

I really hope this would be added in a future update for the engine
Also it would be useful to be able to set physics Collision shapes on runtime, or even just have "shape of the last image" Physics Collision shape

You could use a pretty decent comment-based workaround: When you want to create a bookmark, create a comment that contains something unique but quick to type, like "BM>" or "bbb". Add your desired name to it as desired (eg. "bbb - enemy movement). Then just searchAll with ctrl-shift-F for "bbb". You'll get a list of all your bookmarks, and nothing else, and it'll list their line numbers and frames too. If you don't like including comments in your searches, then you can use the Advanced Comment Object instead of Comments. That's what I do. And I use "FFF" as my search term, since it's lightning-quick to type FFF when my finger is still over the F from pressing Ctrl-Shift-F:

https://bit.ly/3lWorhv

I don't even see the "FFF" in my search results window - just my bookmarks' names:

https://bit.ly/3crskI8


You could even create some pre-baked and nicely formatted bookmarks and attach them to hotkeys using Ditto. For example, I use Ditto to insert each of these comments using a different hotkey:

https://bit.ly/3cqTBKC

To get Ditto to understand Fusion's clipboard format, just add these to its settings (yes, you can also use it to store and paste actions, conditions or events - even entire groups of events!):

CF_CNCV25_EVENTS (for events)
CF_CNCV25_CONDITIONS (for conditions)
CF_CNCV25_ACTIONS (for actions)

I got anoying black border on rotated & scaled object when Direct3D 11 mode is active.
I can't say if this bug exist since an update or since release of direct3D 11.

Its happens more frequently on huge frame when you're using large active object.
I won't find any workarround to get rid of this bug except don't use Direct3D 11 mode... but the performance benefit are too important to avoid it.
The bug also have chance to disapear when I restart my frame with F2.

Fusion need a way to bulk rename variable between object.

It's could be really usefull to have a way to copy paste all variables name from an object to another or to quickly replace some objects variables names for all objects that have a specific qualifier.
Curently, you have to select all the object manualy before naming your variables. Too bad for you if you forget one, you will need to manualy name all the variable on it two in the future... or to live with unamed alterable values. And it's the same story if you want to add of change some variables of the objects in the future.

Just add a way to copy past quickly all named variable names should be awesome and help to work bether with qualifiers.

I know that you should add a stage that you should use for globals events qualifiers name (if you put only one object of each qualifier on it.) but it's will not work on all objects and only for qualifiers in globals events. So this is not an awesome solution.

You should also add a way to make global objects more global (without need to copy paste them in each frames).

A global frame layers system that could be used in somes stages could be interesting too, currently you will need to copy paste UI layers for all the games frames. It bring some complications if you have to make minors changes for UI. Global events help a lot, but it's not all.

Thank you !

IIRC if your UI don't have transparent elements you can use sub-application with windows transparent extension. Although you still need to copy and paste sub to all frames, this method makes it a bit easier to maintain.

It was the way that I used some years ago. But usage of sub-app often cause some anoying issues, won't enable transparent UI and complicates communication between UI and other objects.

Currently using object with "Global object" flag and copy paste on all your frames is still the best thing to do if you want the best final result for your game... But you will have an anoying robot job to replicate all your core new objects on each frame everytime that you will need it. The other way is to just don't use frame and create all stuff of your levels programmatically, but this method will complicates a lot your level handling.

It's for theses kinds or reasons that I think my features request could really help a lot creating solid and ambitious games. It's all in the spirit to spend less time in robot job.

Do you know that in 2.5+ you can select all objects with a given qualifier? (in the context menu in the frame editor)

Are you talking about the old tip for using qualifiers in global events? In 2.5+ you can use qualifiers in global events.
