AAO6 Player Preview 2 is out!
It's been two months since the last update about AAO6, and it's high time to give you a little more to toy with while waiting for the big fish to come out.
That's why today I'm releasing the "almost complete" AAO6 player preview !
Contrary to the version from two months ago which was very limited, this version should now be able to read most existing trials, since it includes support for health management, court records, checking evidence, cross-examinations, investigations, psyche-locks gameplay (though not the graphics : the locks themselves won't show up yet) and most player input actions.
This V6 player preview also introduces an important new feature for case authors : the AAO live debugger, which enables you to monitor and edit the status of your trial as you play through. This includes setting the value of variables and toggling the visibility of CR elements, investigation scenes, talk conversations and frames. It should come in handy when you need to test a specific situation in your trial...
There are still a few things missing at the moment, so please don't complain about these specific problems :
- The psyche-locks won't actually show up, though you can play psyche locks sequences fine.
- The "Ask player to input a variable's value" action is not implemented yet.
- The "Display evidence on screen" action doesn't display anything yet.
- The evidence check button cannot load mp3s yet, it only works with text and pictures.
- The End game action is not implemented yet, so you cannot move between different parts of a series yet.
Now, onto the serious thing : how to try it ?
You can load any trial using the following address
Code: Select all
http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_Test/player.html?trial_id=<Trial_ID>
For those who don't know, the ID number is the one that can be found at the end of the address you put in links to your trial, which looks like jeu.php?id_proces=<Trial_ID>.
An example of a valid link is loading Turnabout Nightmare on AAO6
If you wish to try the live debugger, you should append &debug to the address, like this :
Code: Select all
http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/V6_Test/player.html?trial_id=<Trial_ID>&debug
As usual, I'm waiting for your feedback, be it criticism or praise of the new interface, or even bug reports.
Please post your feedback in this topic : this is what will help me make AAO6 even better !
Enjoy !
