Main article: Version 6

Changes (in comparison with version 5.0):

  • Major bug fixed. We think this caused a lot of unkown and non-reproducible crashes.
  • Colouring objective texts will be with a + instead of ~. That last sign caused lots of trouble. You can use a + with shift+2. Besides, we created a shortcut. If you type CTRL-r it will generate +r+.
  • When you edit a objective, you don't need to type your text again!!!!
  • You can write a storyline (Beta topic for more information)
  • Created a pauze menu to: abort, save progress and load progress during a storyline.
  • Copy your actor with CTRL+P (requested here).
Goal of the beta's was trying to fix as much bugs as we could. We did fix a lot of bugs, but if you find any more bugs, please report. After version 6 beta 2 we fixed some more bugs.
