Constructor 1.06 for Windows
Whats new:
Fixed a bug where it would sometimes become impossible to edit properties due to refreshing.
Removed DRM - No longer requires ignition key.
Source code for plugins is now included.
New plugin: Pie.cs - Make pies, banked curves, loops!
Some other issues which were not documented. Sorry.
To install:
To install this, Install a BRAND NEW version of constructor 1.03 into a new directory on your hard drive. Extract this file directly into your Constructor directory, overwriting all files, keeping the directory structure intact.
Note that this is a windows release. If you are using the 1.04 macintosh version, you can still use the plugins, just pull them from the plugins folder.

@Michael - I thought I'd fixed that bug - but you know how that goes. :(

That works well, ty.
@Jaimi
Yes, I installed it over a clean 103 install, so i dunno. Yes, those are the steps I do. I appreciate your efforts though.

@Garage Games - could you please put a note in the read me file indicating that the update needs to be run as administrator? It's a minor addition that can save some from a lot of frustration. Currently there is no indication I can find as to why the original application ran as is and the updates run only as administrator. Thank you.

@Cyberkada - Thank you for that tidbit about running as administrator. Constructor 1.03 was running fine as is on my 64-bit comp, but any updates applied would cause Constructor to run like it was a background application (I'd run constructor and nothing would happen but would appear in the task list, sitting there doing nothing)@Garage Games - could you please put a note in the read me file indicating that the update needs to be run as administrator?

This is normal for downloaded files - have you tried unblocking it?

Yeah I unblocked it, that wasn't it. I had to extract the files to a temp directory and then move them over despite unblocking it. When I set it to "Run as Administrator" it started working for me. Man, this version is nice!

Not really sorry, just getting it figured out how to compile the project. I noticed in some previous post that you wanted to develop for constructor - you could probably get access to the svn if you emailed Matt.

If reference objects that are transparent can be loaded and displayed properly by constructor, can they also be created by constructor?
I made a glass wall and loaded into constructor. It is transparent and the other objects can be seen behind it.

Thank you, Jaimi. The new plugin gives me much convenience.

pull up the console, and type in $timescale = 0; Hit Enter and that should let you edit the light fields.
