Cronus PRO is a brand new suite of tools specifically tailored for the new CronusMAX PLUS. Some of the most noticeable differences are the new Cronus Operational Mode and Visual Scripting Interface based on Google’s Open Source Blockly where you can now create your own scripts without any scripting knowledge, the Online Library and Programmer user interface has been updated, which is now much cleaner, there are also improvements to the software algorithms and many, many bug fixes.

There is also a brand new installer that includes the CronusMAX PLUS Upgrade engine, a new suite of plugins and a brand new updated User Manual. Along with the new Cronus PRO there are also new versions of our official plugins (X-AIM, MAX Mapper, MAX Combo and MAX Rec). Max REC can now loop your recorded commands as many times as you wish and X-AIM now includes support for X-Input Devices and rumble. You may also notice there have been many updated default settings to X-AIM and MAX Mapper. Thanks to the success of the awesome X-Input by our staff member Misadri, Direct Input Support has been much improved in X-AIM. With the Direct Input feature of X-AIM you can now use any game controller on your PC through the Direct Input interface. This includes steering wheels, driving wheels, flightsticks, fight sticks, joysticks and more. Just bind the Direct Input entries to the X-AIM controller layout and you are ready to go!There have also been many GamePacks added for CronusMAX PLUS users. More are always in production to keep up with the latest game titles and also to keep up with user requests. Our team of expert gamers make sure that each GamePack is designed for that specific game and not just some generic Rapidfire option. Our GamePacks are made by gamers FOR gamers!

After several months of work we are happy to finally reveal the first public Beta of Cronus PRO 1.21.There have been MANY improvements, fixes and performance tweaks under the hood.

Changelog:

– Replaced X-Input code with our own custom code – Making the Guide button FINALLY work, it’s mapped to button 10, this should also fix rumble issues you may have experienced in the past (lagging rumble for example)
– Added a menu item in X-Aim shown by pressing Ctrl + F12 which displays what version of X-Input is being used (1.3 is required for the guide button to work, but it can fall back to 1.4 and 9.1.0 as well)
– Added a customizable rumble timing for xinput to allow you to tune it to your needs if needed (making it less frequent with updates may fix lag issues)
– Fixed a issue causing some users to have crashes during startup such as when theres a permissions problem in the registry
– Fixed a interpreter issue related to how indexed arrays worked (when using a variable)
– Fixed a issue causing false warnings to show up when using the new “for (…) { … }” construct
– Fixed a issue causing false warnings to show up when returning from a user function
– Fixed a issue causing the parser to crash when trying to parse very large numbers (beyond the normal range, it now gives you a warning regarding this issue instead of silently crashing)
– Fixed a issue causing the compiler to silently crash when attempting to compile scripts that had constant math containing a 0 in the right side of the definition
– Fixed a issue causing ps4_touchpad to not be compiled correctly
– Fixed a issue causing X-Aim specific scripts to not be possible to upload to the online library
– Fixed a issue causing a exception to be thrown when attempting to fetch the script on unsupported systems (Windows Vista)
– Added support for 2 new combo constructs “combo_suspend” and “combo_suspended”, the first one essentially just “Pause” a combo (make it stop running but not reset it) and the second checks if it is in this “Paused” state
– Added support for setting a delay on bootloader packets which may help with corruption issues while writing gamepacks/scripts
– Enabled compiler optimizations – This means that your scripts will be smaller then they otherwise would’ve been because the compiler attempts to be smart and help you by not adding unused variables, unused functions, unused combo’s etc. and it allocates the variables all at once rather then all combo’s and arrays as chunks and each individual variable as a separate opcode
– Fixed a problem with the compiler causing it to bail out on first error (including bytecode size) giving you false hope that there’s just 1 more byte to shave off… (it now compiles until first major error then tells you the size problems after it’s been fully compiled)
– Fixed a bug causing “XB360_BACK” to not be highlighted properly
– Changed InFrameIn to be false by default
– Fixed a typo in “Downloading SW v… please wait.”
– Updated Copyright information
– Updated About window to fit all version information
