A new version is available for a public beta test:

http://server.conitec.net/down/gstudio_8470.exe

This version is supposed to fix the two random crash bugs that were recently reported. Please check carefully if everything works.

I can confirm that the reported engine crash doesn't occur with this new version.

I'll do some further tests this evening.

Seems to fix the Wichtelwald problem as well. I'll quote the original post in the corresponding thread.

Great, thanks!

So far everything is working fine in multiple projects. Yesterday my main project started to crash ("acknex has stopped working") when using "Test Run" instead of "Run Current Script", I assume because of different command line options. This crash is now gone, too.

Have there been any changes within the compiler?

With this new version I get a "Wrong type CONV:POINTER::DOUBLE" when trying to access one of my external dlls.

I try to break this issue down to a small test script.

Here's a little test script:

plugin_test.rar

This one works fine with 8.46 but gives me a syntax error with 8.47.

Your header misses all type information completely. Frankly I'm surprised it ever compiled in the first place.

I really don't like that thing of not writing type information but AFAIK all parameters without type are expected to be/ treated as var, as well as the "function" keyword itself (or is it void?). So that should be fine I guess.

As far as I remember you don't need type declarations in dll function prototypes. At least there are none in the basic dll plugin example in the manual.

I think that's only because the DLL functions in the example use and return var values, something with that _VAR(...) macro or whatever it was.
