Massive thanks to @Kratus, @O Ilusionista, @Plombo, @msmalik681, @danno, @Piccolo, and all of the community at large. Again, this update is not quite as complete as I wanted due to a lot of computer issues and real life stuff, but it is stable (and already in use for SORX), with incrmental updates and polishing that I'll be working on starting... right now. Expect much more in the next few weeks!

Happy new year!! Congratulations my friend, I saw how hard you worked during all these years and now the engine it's fully working, it's a dream turning into reality
You read my mind, I was about to launch another SORX beta release but I decided to hold off in case you launch v4.0 and then I will use the latest build.
In this case I can remove all the engine locks and make the executable work with the data folder normally instead of only SORX paks.

Happy new year and thanks for all the hard work in updating the engine to a new level

Yeah, a lot of things are different now. You will need to update all your scripts to make it compatibleThis going to be problem for me

Ugh, the first growing pain (and I'm sure just one of many). That's actually a bugfix. There are about 10 or so "constants" I discovered someone added (not sure who.. could have been me) that aren't actually constants at all. PLAYER_MIN_Z is one of them. They are really system variables that can and do change at runtime. I've moved them accordingly and where possible given write access.
@machok, to get player min Z, use
openborvariant("player_min_z"). I documented the system variables too: system variables.DC

Happy New Year, DC.

Congratulations on the release of 4.0. It's been quite a while since there was a discussion about it after the 3.0 release some time. I didn't expect it to be out on this new year. 
That was a lot of hard work and effort to put in. It's been years you've worked hard to make it workable.

No, panel_z is exactly what it says, the layer for panel Z. Player min Z is player_min_z. Please read the system variables article.
I have no idea what you mean, sorry.

Cool. How do you get that to work? Do you use it like player_min_z? I'm used to player_min_z more than panel_z. panel_z is new to me.@DCurrent
Yay it's working, so it's called panel_z now
Thank youI'll test it now

Mine is in this script that is causing the error
int isBlockedUp(int edge) {
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
float Hu = 0;
int minZ = openborvariant("PLAYER_MIN_Z");
// check Z walls
Hu = checkwall(x,z+edge);
// check Z platforms
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = isPlatform(x,z+edge,1001); }
// check Z corners
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = (minZ+edge > z); }
return (Hu > 0);
}
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
float Hu = 0;
int minZ = openborvariant("PLAYER_MIN_Z");
// check Z walls
Hu = checkwall(x,z+edge);
// check Z platforms
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = isPlatform(x,z+edge,1001); }
// check Z corners
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = (minZ+edge > z); }
return (Hu > 0);
}
I read the description and I just change every minZ to panel_z
| panel_z | Integer | X | Base layer position of main panel. Internally, it is a calculated offset from player_min_z. |
int isBlockedUp(int edge) {
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
float Hu = 0;
int panel_z = openborvariant("panel_z");
// check Z walls
Hu = checkwall(x,z+edge);
// check Z platforms
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = isPlatform(x,z+edge,1001); }
// check Z corners
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = (panel_z+edge > z); }
return (Hu > 0);
}
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int x = getentityproperty(self, "x");
int z = getentityproperty(self, "z");
float Hu = 0;
int panel_z = openborvariant("panel_z");
// check Z walls
Hu = checkwall(x,z+edge);
// check Z platforms
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = isPlatform(x,z+edge,1001); }
// check Z corners
if(Hu <= 0) { Hu = (panel_z+edge > z); }
return (Hu > 0);
}
Save screenshot rarely responding
For me the screenshot is working fine, maybe it can be due to an old "saves" folder. I suggest erasing and letting the engine create a fresh one.
In the SORX I'm using it as
C:
openborvariant("player_min_z");But earlier you said it was PLAYER_MIN_Z that was missing, so I want to be sure you understand what you're doing. Panel_z is NOT the same as player_min_z. If you are aware of the difference and want to use panel_z anyway, no problem.
C:
int sample_beep_id = openborvariant("global_sample_beat");

The native sound effects now work this way, here's an example:
C:
playsample(openborvariant("global_sample_beep_2"), 0, 100, 100, 100, 0);Here's the new list:
C:
global_sample_beat
global_sample_beep
global_sample_beep_2
global_sample_bike
global_sample_block
global_sample_fall
global_sample_get
global_sample_get_2
global_sample_go
global_sample_indirect
global_sample_jump
global_sample_one_up
global_sample_pause
global_sample_punch
global_sample_time_over
@Ianyer The way the engine is assigned is different now, think of it as a much better and new way to create instead of an updated version, what you create with Unreal engine 4 is not going to be compatible with Unreal engine 5, so choose what version of the engine you want to use and stick with that.
I'm not going to look at OpenBor engine 4 until all my projects with OpenBor engine 3 are finished and if I do decide to create with OpenBor engine 4 I'll be starting from a bare bones new project.
Going forward try to consider that OpenBor engine 4 has nothing to do with OpenBor engine 3.

Is there a list we can see of those old constants that were changed?

I am curious about something:
So in the new attack method, attack2 triggers pain3?
I can understand it design-wise, but this is very counter intuitive. And I am worried about this raising the learning curve for newcomers.
