What's new in Autorun Pascal Builder 2.0
Jan 22, 2007
- Added support for the TTS (Text 2 Speech technology). Just use one of the new 19 functions that make use of this technology (TTS_Speak, TTS_SetPitch, TTS_SetSpeed, TTS_Pause, TTS_Stop, ETC). See the "Text2Speech.apb" in the samples directory for an advanced demonstration.
- Unlock the full power of windows media player in your project with the new TWindowsMediaPlayer Object.
- Added a new variable called InternalPlayList which is useful for the purpose of having more than one background sound. Add music files to the InternalPlayList, set InternalPlayList.Active to True and forget about them. The files will play one after another. When the play list reaches the end, it starts over.
- Added a new function called SplashScreen that let's you create a cool splash screen like APB's starting splash screen.
- Fixed an issue where the autorun form would have not minimized correctly (in script you should now use TAutorunForm instead of TForm if you want to create a window that handles the minimizing correctly).
- Now the non-visual TTimer component can be placed on the form at design time, just like any other visual component, instead of creating him in script (if you need many of these objects in one project, then this makes your life easier).
- Improved support for music tags reading. This applies to the GetMusicTags function (added support for ID3V2 and enhanced the support for ID3 and OGG tags).
- Autorun Pascal Player now displays visual progress when loading embedded files only if this operation exceeds 3 seconds (if you embed only a few small files, which are extracted virtually instantaneously then there is no need for visual feedback).
- Added some other new functions to use in script.
- Improved the code completion feature, now showing all supported functions, procedures, types and constants (Just press Ctrl Space on a new line and see for your self).
- Fixed a Windows 95 bug.
- Added a wizard that let's you easily create a slideshow (menu File -> New Using wizard -> Slide Show Wizard).
- Removed the error message that appeared when the DownloadFile(Ex) function failed to download the file (because no internet connection existed, etc).
- Some other minor improvements.
