I've uploaded a new version to Steam and the TGC downloads area with the following changes

* Fixed TTF fonts rendering at lower quality if the text was place at a half pixel position
* Added support for the RequestAppReview command on Android (Google Play only)
* Fixed AdMob reward videos on Android sometimes rendering incorrectly
* Added SetAdMobChildRating command to notify AdMob if the app is targeted at children
* Added GetRewardAdValueAdMob command to get the reward amount from a reward ad
* Added CreateImageFromPNGMemblock to convert a memblock containing a PNG file into an AppGameKit image
* Added CreateSoundFromOGGMemblock to convert a memblock containing an OGG file into an AppGameKit sound
* Added CreateMusicFromOGGMemblock to convert a memblock containing an OGG file into an AppGameKit music file
* Added GetMemblockSHA1 to hash the contents of a memblock
* Added GetMemblockSHA256 to hash the contents of a memblock
* Added SetImageSubImages to change the subimages.txt file currently applied to an AppGameKit image

Let me know if you have any problems

I'm not sure if it's from my PC, but when I updated AppGameKit, I started a blank project that starts with a high framerate as always, but I let it run for a few minutes, the framerate gradually drops in half

Paul, could you please explain the usage of CreateImageFromPNGMemblock.
I don't understand how it would be used.

Thanks

It allows us to work with memblocks containing compressed png data instead of raw RGBA data and still create image objects from them. I can see this being very useful in creating asset protection and packed media container files without taking up too much space, for instance.

My question related to the compressed PNG memblock file. Without a corresponding CreatePNGimageFileFromMemblock() then in what way is it different to CreateImageFromMemblock()?
I could ask the same about the OGG sound and music commands but I presume they create an OGG file in memory so that the OGG commands can be used on them but a PNG in memory isn't a requirement.

I also get "error: "setimagesubimages" is not a recognised function or command" in the latest versions of both Classic and Studio.

EDIT: Function coloration on new the commands except this one happens in Classic, but doesn't happen in Studio.

@Scraggle & everyone else!- here are some update files that should fix the SetImageSubImages() issue.

This is only needed for users who download builds direct from TGC. Steam users have an update.

AppGameKit Studio Build
New AppGameKit Studio Windows.exe interpreters
New AppGameKit Studio IDE file

The Windows.exe files go here;
...AppGameKit Studio\interpreters\Windows

The Ide.exe file goes here;
...AppGameKit Studio

AppGameKit Classic Build
New AppGameKit Compiler.exe
New Windows.exe and Windows64.exe players

The Windows.exe files go here;
...App Game Kit 2\Tier 1\Compiler\interpreters

The Compiler.exe file goes here;
...App Game Kit 2\Tier 1\Compiler

Let me know if that works for you.

@RickV
Why are you addressing this to me only?
Everybody needs the fixes in place.

But to answer the question: No, there's no change.

Why are you addressing this to me only? Everybody needs the fixes in place

I am suspecting (if my previous experience with AppGameKit is anything to go by) that this will not be resolved until the next release, so possibly another 3 to 4 months.

I just got updates for both Classic and Studio via Steam today. The IDE version numbers don't change from what I see.
- SetImageSubImages is now recognized by both.
- The new commands have the function coloration in Studio.
- However, while recognized as a function, SetImageSubImages doesn't have the function coloration in Classic.

SetImageSubImages is missing from the AGKLibraryCommands.cpp/.h files in "Example Plugin" in both Classic and Studio (at least on Steam).

1) I copied the interpreters to C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AppGameKit Studio\Players
2) I copied the ide.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\The Game Creators\AppGameKit Studio
3) I created a project that referenced SetImageSubImages()
4) I ran the project and immediately got the error


PS: Those files appear to be for Studio and this is the classic forum

I'm fairly new to AppGameKit and I have really enjoyed using the language over the last few months and the support from TGC has been exceptional. I have read quite a few comments about AppGameKit being abandoned etc but since I have been using it two updates have been released so not sure why people think it is being abandoned. It is quite obvious that the latest release has a issues and I'm sure that TGC will fix them. It is disappointing as a new user to read so many negative comments, it's as though people want it to fail. I have tried many programming languages over the years and AppGameKit is one of the best. Negative comments on this forum will ultimately drive new users away which clearly isn't good for AppGameKit or TGC.

" It is disappointing as a new user to read so many negative comments, it's as though people want it to fail." There is not a single post here implying, insinuating, or stating that anyone wants AppGameKit to fail.

"so not sure why people think it is being abandoned" Because people are basing it on about two decades of TGC history. Most of the posts stating that provide plenty of reasons and examples why.

I think you have missed my point. The negative comment on this particular thread is that the new instructions won't be fixed for 3 or 4 months. My other comment about the negativity runs through quite a lot of threads. I appreciate that there are users on here that have decades of experience with TGC but as a new user I'm already thinking is it worth sticking with AppGameKit, this isn't because I think the product is poor but because of other users saying it's being abandoned, updates are infrequent, bugs are never fixed etc. Who's fault this is I'm not sure but if new users are put off then this means less revenue for TGC which will then probably have an impact on the lifespan of AGK.

I have edited my original message now with both Classic and Studio file updates.

Note that the Steam versions have already been updated, this is for TGC download versions.

Steam version of Studio now works but in the Steam version of Classic SetImageSubImages is still not recognised as a keyword

@Scraggle I am having the same issue "main.agc:32: error: "setimagesubimages" is not a recognised function or command" AppGameKit Classic - Version 2021.02.10 [Steam]

@Polaraul: Try updating AppGameKit Classic in Steam again. Latest will recognize setimagesubimages as a function even though it doesn't use the method color for the method name.

If I click on the compiler.exe link update it takes me to the windows.exe files.

Is anyone else having this issue?

@Rick, can you fix the link please as I think you may have duplicated the windows.exe link instead of the compiler.exe link

Thank you
