for some reason, if i hit space, like your supposed to to make to pause and start, the little undo bar says undo sim start, but its still paused.  also, i seem to have not been informed on the whereabouts of the "draw inside objects" button, please help

Yes, that's strange too.. It was there in the release candidate:

thats where you hit tilde right? or do you have to go into notepad?

also, i run on windows xp not vista

I have tried capitalizing the R's in the config file, but i still cant seem to hit the space button, it just wont work.
It says "undo sim start" like in that picture and is still frozen.

Hmmm, mabye that wasn't the problem...

PeteTheBuilder try copying the line from my post into the file instead of capitalizing the R's, I was tinkering with it for a while and mabye that wasn't all I changed.

I honestly don't know if what I did to fix it was simply a fluke or not.

If this still doesn't work try capitalizing random letters or words in that line... That's all I did...

HMMMMM........ I just realized it was a fluke...

I am getting a warning that  "Running"  is not found in scope (it doesn't exist)

So there must of been some default controll (spacebar) in the actual program that took over when I accidently destroyed the real one (by capitalizing the r's)

This means my solution may work for some, but is not a true solution to the problem.

Also it means, and I just tested it, that if you simply delete the entire line  Keys.bind("space", {Sim.running =  ! Sim.running}); from the config.cfg file the hack will work just as well. Though you'll probably want to create a backup of the file so that when a real soultion is found you won't have ruined any chance of fixing it at all.

So PeteTheBuilder, if my hack/temporary solution didn't work, I'm really sorry but I can't help you

NOOO!!! I was making an escalator for the contest.  I did something wrong, so, i hit undo.  When i hit undo...  THE WHOLE SCENE DISAPPEARED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beta 4 resets the Controller Acceleration to 1 m/s^2 when the scene is saved and reloaded.

Edit: I tested a bit but wheren't able to recreate it, might have been me F'ing it up.

Erm...only one problem: Scene Loading from previous phun versions.  I went to load my scene but whenever it went, everything was out of scale, in the wrong place, and a lot of other stuf like that.  For example, I had a cylinder powering an engine in it, but the circle was big enough to take up the whole screen, the hinge wasn't in the middle, fixes were gone, and whatnot.  Is this just a problem on my end or is this some compatibility problem.  It looks like Emil has his work cut out for him...with all of the new features and changes come new problems that need solved.  It's gonna be like phun was just made all over again in the next few weeks...

I'll give you a screenshot here in a sec.

EDIT:  I'm going through the list of scenes I have, and link0007 should know about my drowning mousetrap I entered in his contest...when I hit play all hell broke loose and parts starting flinging everywhere, the mouse went flying away, the water exploded...literaly...

So far, every scene I look at that was made on the old version pretty much takes a dump on itself before exploding beyond recovery

EDIT:  Another thing I saw that I could fly to Umea University or wherever to hug emil for...under the about phun menu, there's a single phrase that really made my day:

You've made the right choice.  I've heard you talking about commercializing...excuse my bad spelling...but I see you've gone against it for now.  Yay! Go Emilk!

Yeah, I caught the same thing...awh man, you got to posting it first...anyway, here's a screenshot of it if it helps:



That's just the error popup, I edited it out of the rest of the screen...anything you press on it closes out the phun program...man, Emil has a lot of work cut out for him...this is pretty much like we've just completely started over again...gotta work out all of the errors again...

This new phun is gonna take some getting used to, I'm gonna miss the old menus, but it's a lot better

Oh, and where's the "Control with arrow keys" buttons?

Aaaahhh!! Too Many Bugs!!!!!!!!!!
