Mostly stuff related to trial metadata : changing a trial's name, organising trials in series, etc.
In V6, all this is supposed to take place in the Manager, not in the editor.
Since the V6 manager won't be present on the beta launch, you won't be able to change these properties once you've opted-in for V6 on your trial.

Did a few tests on it. Let's see if this hasn't been discussed yet.
  • There seems to be no fading in or out, like there randomly was in v5.
  • Must be a glitch, as there seems to be some "stacking" when I have several characters in a row. What I means is that when one character is done speaking and the second one comes in, the first one is on the back.
  • Actually, I take that back. Sometimes it stacks, sometimes it's delayed.
  • Detention Center (PW Era): Forward doesn't work. My jailbird is in front of the screen as opposed to behind.
  • Text seems to go at least .25 slower than what's written on the trial.

That's normal. Fading in/out of characters isn't implemented yet, though it is planned. And when it'll be implemented, it won't be "random" (or rather, automatic on some weird conditions I came up with years ago xD) anymore.

I've noticed the stacking in some cases, but I believe I have fixed most of those problems in my recent works. You'll have to have a look at it again when I update the preview (which should also be when I release the beta in fact :-P)
E.D.Revolution wrote:Detention Center (PW Era): Forward doesn't work. My jailbird is in front of the screen as opposed to behind.
That's normal - I haven't completely imported all default places to V6 for the previews. It'll be fixed for the beta release :-)

What do you mean by that ? As far as I'm concerned typing goes quite faster in V6 than in V5. Is it the opposite for you ?

Actually, blame my Firefox. It has gotten faster the smaller I make the window. Chrome doesn't have this problem.
