Not real important but if you go to the EDIT command at the top of the screen and select "settings" and then select "Show welcome screen"
you will get a new start up screen that shows changes made to the latest beta. It appears the "Show welcome screen is turned off by default.
After making the change you will get the information on the next and every instance of starting GameGuru MAX.

Latest version. Edit Properties on an object. Works fine first time but blacks out object if you return to adjust properties again.

Newest version very buggy! My advice to Lee is go back to Beta 2 it worked perfect! Terrain painting create big chunks of some kind of texture(?) LOD creates holes in the terrain. Moving, rotating objects is horrible, the sun (rotate sun) doesnt work (Or even exist), etc, etc...
This is how it looked, worse than classic...

The terrain has done this for a few weeks now. At least 2 versions or so, probably more. I have found once your map has done this you will always get an issue on that map. Hopefully will get sorted when they update the terrain system. Probably one reason the terrain texture has been removed in tomorrows update.

Ok i have played a bit with Max and here is some stuff i have found.
1. When selected the rain it does not rain inside a building witch is cool, but once inside the building when you look outside you can not see the rain. ?
2. when selected the snow it snows in side the buildings, but at least you can see the snow when you look from in side out of the building.
3. Is it just me or does the player camera look a little bit to close to the ground when looking down , almost as if the player is halfway down to crouch.? Yes i know you can adjust the camera settings Fov, but it just makes it a bit weird, if i compare it to Classic when you look down in classic it feels more comfortable.

Just tried the latest version and things seem to have gone a bit odd.

Had the same effect on an imported 3rd party model as well.

I have the same problem with the character creator as shown in the post by DVader. You can create some pretty ugly characters. The characters you do create are gigantic, almost as tall as the buildings.

Also when you start a new level and select the grass option everything looks good with grass. The problem is that when you save the level and exit and then open the level again the grass has gone to never land.

Hey... things sometimes are not perfect on the first crack... (Lee we'll give you another shot.)

just verifying files as the "add entity" window seems non-controllable now and a floating window I can't move.

here's a pic on my laptop. Can#t do anything with the floating "level objects" window and the "Thug" FPSC character doesn't apply textures even after adding the textures , verifying files and firing up max again. CC also no change post file verification.



reverting back to last build.

You can fix the Level Objects window positioning problem by going into setting/general then click the Reset Interface button.

Yeah, shouldn't do that, but for now Reset Interface fixes it - in Edit/Settings

Quote: "I confirm, CC looks very odd now on startup."

Can confirm that also.
Previous builds he worked fine - apart from trying to be an idiot walking on the spot or up walls - but he rendered just fine

Been checking it again today, tried checking and verifying but there is always one last 5.2mb file that doesn't seem to update. Thought it may have been a server issue on Friday but the same today.

The CC was a known issue but i guess Lee was not able to sort out before the release.

It does the same with 3rd party objects.

Defo had a detrimental effect from the last version.

Last version worked fine with the same model.
I'm sure it will be sorted in the next update or so. If TGC can seize on the bug to give a jaw simulation physics effect, could be cool The last pic looks like he is in mid hit from a Tyson right hook.

Yesterday I tryed to make a little Easter Game in GG Max. Nothing Special, just for fun.

First.... I love GG Max. I know it's not ready but it is easyer to handle for me. It feels more "fluid". And the CC seems to go a good way. I don't have the CC bugs noted here.
It is really a boost of GFX, flexible and great performance.


But, I had other Bugs:

- The ground texture (Snow) was gone away in some areas. Every time I saved the level or did load it. The areas differ everytime.
- Sometimes CC Figures had no collusion. I could walk through them.
- Some of the old Assets don't work correct. Mostly the trees, wich had white textures.
- At some assests GG Max is failing because they are 24bit, not 32bit.
- Decals don't work (I think this will come).
- Text area had the problem that sometimes the "Prompttext" was away.
- When I switched from Object Mode to Terrain Mode, GG Max crashed sometimes. Without an error. It was just shutdown.
- The same happened sometimes when saving the level. Last time, this behavour killed my complete level. When I load it, nothing was in it anymore
- It was difficult to move lights. When I clicked on them, hold it and move minimal, sometimes the ligt flip anywhere I never find it again

That where my most bugs in this short time. Last Beta had a more stable feeling. But I think this are no big problems at this stage.

THIS really bothers me. That should be fixable / added in a lunch break, and if you look at the amount of *really* good GG Assets that were shipped with 24bit DDs textures, it's simply frustrating.

This message does not always reflect the true nature of the error, it is like a standard response.
I experienced this problem sometimes, I converted the affected textures from 24 to 32 bits and the problem persisted, in the end, it happened that the problem had nothing to do with the message.

With the newest build I cannot open classic FPMs with Max. Even copying and pasting entire folders into Max.
It will work with super simple levels. But I haven't been able to open my own FPMs or stock ones that come with GG.

Just a heads up the sundirection x, sundirection y and the sundirection z do not hold revised settings from one session to the next.
When I see confirmation from any one else I will report it as a bug. (if I can figure out how)

Hey - I am running into an issue with Game Guru Max. I am unable to move around the view port in any way shape or form.

I have tried pressing the WASD keys as well as the arrow keys. Nothing happens. I am on MAX Build 2021.04.23 if that helps.

If the Devs need more information in the form of Log files or whatever please let me know.

Edit: Sent the bug in via the menu in GGMax.

Rebooting seems to have fixed it. Unless it's just the servers have freed up enough for me to start downloading

@ science boy
Fresh install via tiny installer is the best action to take now, though.
Backup your files, remember GGMax updater is cleaning up all the files before updating.

Alternatively you can report bugs the good old fashioned way via Github if you cannot do it via the UI.
