Alpha Test

The alpha test was released on 1/1/14 for people with Stencyl 3.0 to try out.  The kit was remade from scratch to optimize user-friendliness and improve overall performance.  The Alpha Test can be found at this link here.  Here's a list of features contained within the alpha test:

• Pause Menu - Contains access to the Items menu and the Equipment menu
• Items Menu - A list of items and their descriptions that are currently within the player's inventory.  Can also "use" items (although it really didn't do anything outside of just removing one of the items from the inventory if it was flagged as consumable at the time of the alpha test).
• Equipment Menu - A list of equipment (weapons and armor) currently equipped to members of the party. You can select different equipment slots and equip various equipment to the slots.  You can also switch through the various members currently in the player's party and manage their equipment as well.
• Inventory Manager - Manages items in the player's inventory.  You can add items (like potions), weapons, and armors to the player's inventory.  Also, said items can be removed from the inventory as well.  A final feature included is that the inventory manager also has the option to "use" an item in the inventory as well, which is used by the Items Menu.
• Chest System - Contains code to add items/weapons/armors found in a chest to the player's inventory.
• Dialog System - A very basic system was released for the alpha, not doing much else besides displaying a message.  A more advanced system is planned for later releases.

Change Log

Note that some of these changes have yet to be released to the public.

v. 0.1.6 (3/25/14)

• Added a new feature to the Items Tab of the Database.  The new feature will automatically update your old database files to be compatible with the new version, so you wont have to do anything extra/start over. (We'll try and keep it like this too!)

v. 0.1.5 (3/24/2014)

• Changed the database to now load and save from/to extras/ERC/Data
• Changed the kit to now load database files from extras/ERC/Data

Note for current users: This requires you to manually move any of your old database files from the extras folder to extras/ERC/Data, unless you want to start from scratch.
