So. In case you haven't noticed, GM7 beta is out. Is it worth it? No.
New stuff:*Extensions*"64digits member stealing function" *It seems to be called GM7 Pro for some reason *security improvement*executables are compatible with Vista BUT 1mb larger than compiled with gm6. So what does this mean?Extensions: Predefined dll's and scripts without dll's and scripts. Get it? Me neither. Probly to make code less 'copying with no credit' sensetive.http://www.gamemaker.nl/extensions.html64d member stealing: A link to the GM website in the left bottom and a function to directly publish your game on the web. See http://www.gamemaker.nl/publish.htmlSecurity improvement: This SHOULD be an improvement, but I haven't tested. GearGOD probly will. It makes it harder for hackers to ehm… hack. your game.Others: *Treat close button as esc key: explains it all. It's in game properties.*Let f9 take a screenshot of the game: Also in properties*CRTL+A in sprite editor: Probably the best function. It lets you select the entire image.Those are just the first things I noticed. A complete list is available at http://gamemaker.nl/beta/gm_changes.html
Yeahp, we needed another blog about this. Thanks for giving it to us.
Yes, we did. To make up the low content I add this link.
http://forums.gamemaker.nl/index.php?showtopic=259587_Rob's comment is awesome.If you ZIP it it's only 1.15 MB.. so that works
mark is too lazy to just compress & encrypt it…CHeersI vote we break into Utrecht University, tie Mark to a chair, extract his precious Game Maker source code from the microchip in his brain (Or his laptop, whichever is easiest), and create GameMakerX, with new features that are actually useful, such as those shaders GearGOD wants so bloody much, true compiling, etc.
Or we could just shut up. Whichever's easiest.I think the first one is the easiest.
How could we ever shut up?Sounds good Jake. I'll get the rope and gag.
Good idea Jakex, I can pay the plane tickets to Netherlands.
I came up with the Game Maker X idea… [:(]

You obviously haven't taken the time to learn about extensions. They are useful.
