[Joshua]

There might be hidden rooms now. No crouching needed. 

[AlphaPlus]

Huzzah!

Feels like christmas @_@

According to the developer, a couple of days. :D

The new update is out on the Beta branch of Delver on Steam for those that want to give it a quick test. If there aren't any big problems, it will go live for everyone later today.

This also includes the latest Editor, pressing 'P' in the editor will now start up preview mode, and drop you into a running game from where the camera was.

I had some problems, but verifying integrity of game cache seem to have solved them.
All levels had the default textures applied to them, and the game was using around 90% cpu even at the lowest quality and a small window.

This error happened when trying to run my mod after the update:

Code:

DelverLevelChangeScreen: Exception: com.interrupt.dungeoneer.entities.AmbientSound cannot be cast to com.interrupt.dungeoneer.entities.Light

I had changed info.dat to add ambient sound to torches, so you can hear the fire burning when you go near them.

The last line:

Code:

spawnLights: [ 
			{ 
				class: com.interrupt.dungeoneer.entities.Torch, 
				texAnimStart: 36, 
				texAnimEnd: 37, 
				lightColor: { r: 1.0, g: 0.6, b: 0.15, a: 1.0 }, 
				emitter: {class:com.interrupt.dungeoneer.entities.ParticleEmitter,z:0.4,particleVelocity:{z:0.02},particleRandomSpawnInterval:20.0,particleSpawnCount:1,particleSpread:{x:0.1,y:0.1,z:0.0},particleStartScale:1.0,particleEndScale:0.0,particleRandomVelocity:{x:0.005,y:0.005,z:0.015},particlesFullbrite:true,particleLifetime:5.0,particleRandomLifetime:15.0,particleSpawnInterval:40.0,particleColor:{a:1.0,b:0.04,g:0.5,r:1.0},particlesCollide:false,particlesFloat:true,spawnDistance:12.0} 
			},
			{ class: com.interrupt.dungeoneer.entities.AmbientSound, radius: 3, volume: 0.325, soundFile: "/ambient/env_torch.ogg", id: "" }
	],

Removing this line solves the problem (but no more fire sound i_i)
Also, I noticed that you're using .mp3 sounds, and .bin files for maps. Would that affect mods in any way?

Also, I noticed that you're using .mp3 sounds, and .bin files for maps. Would that affect mods in any way?

The spawnLights list assumes that you give it a light, although it could be switched back to accept any entity type.

I switched all the sounds to be .mp3 just for the space savings, and because they play nicer with mobile devices. You should be able to play either .ogg or .mp3 files just fine. If anything modders may just need to update any sound references to point at the .mp3 versions now if they were existing sounds.

The .bin files for levels are in the new packed binary format that are way faster to load / save. You can still save and load .dat levels, but it won't be any faster than before. If you save a level for the editor with .bin as the extension, it will save it in the new format.

HOLY COW!!!  

The cave levels overhaul is awesomely tremendous, or tremendously awesome, can't decide  

Really impressive labyrinths full of niches and secret passages, lifts add more to the layout than I expected, scattered notes greatly enhance atmosphere. Even the new rooms in the first levels are nifty. Can't wait to see the improvements in further levels...

Congratulations and thank you very much Chad & Joshua!

Insert mandatory next Android build release date question here

just saying, ive never died in delver before the second to last floor.

i died on floor one.


ramping up the difficulty much?

jeez.

other than that, the improvements are TREMENDOUS. i adore the new update and what it has to offer.

[Skizomeuh]

You may require some patience, as people are having trouble with the latest stable build and getting stuck in specific areas of the caves.

Having some problems with triggers and movers in general...
Here's the assets folder for my mod, some maps in there have examples of the problems I'm having.

For all of these, it runs fine when I test it in the editor, but they bug out in game.

In Pyramid\Corners\8_2.bin there's a lever that disappears
In Pyramid\Halls\14.bin, and 14_1.bin, one side of moving blocks was supposed to trigger the other side of blocks
In Pyramid\Beginnings\10.bin and 9.bin, the trap doesn't trigger the teleport. No custom placed trap movers work at all


It also seems like sometimes the game won't properly apply the "wallPainter" properties on some walls... seems to happen at random to walls on the outskirts of any given tile (and I don't mean just walls placed on the last block or on the very edge of the entire map). One time I tested my mod and none of the "painters" were working at all.

This only started happening after the last update

[Joshua]

@7Soul
I took a look at the file you provided, very cool stuff! From what I can tell, everything looks like it is set up correctly. Chad might be able to offer some more insight.

[7Soul]

One other thing, I was messing around with movers and I made a long platform and set it to rotate. I noticed that the actual collision box doesn't rotate, just the mesh. Is this a bug? I remember you mentioning a problem with rotating collision boxes before

Edit: another problem with moving platforms and collision boxes

An object with a bigger collision box will cause the player to be moved more than expected. For example, a platform with a collision box of {x:0.5,y:0.5,z:0.25} works fine, but {x:1.0,y:1.0,z:0.25} will cause the player to be moved twice as much.

Very cool!

Found one issue so far, a movers 'triggers when done' or 'triggers at start' links weren't wiring up properly for generator placed chunks. I'm not sure what was up with that lever, but it started appearing properly when I deleted that one and added a new one.

I'll look into that painter issue, it sounds like it happens when a tile is null.

Oh, and maybe it's just me - but I think your levels would look better if the fog started back a bit further. Vanity shot from when I was messing around with that:
