How do I emulate / simulate Geolocation?

I am trying out the Geolocation plugin and use the Chrome Device Tool where i can change the geolocation - but it does not work with my game.

I have set up a simple text sprite where i want to write the geolocation in but the result is 0 (what afaik means that there is no geolocation found).

What am i doing wrong?

I tried the ripple Chrome plugin but that did not work either.

Do you guys build a game and upload it to your device to test it?

Ok, i found out that is is based on the "Secure Origin" policy that Google started a few years ago.

This makes testing of my game a real hazzle, because i manualy have to set up the 192.xxx.xx:5000 address whenever i start chrome to be secure.

Has anyone had success with this?

What is the most easiest way to test a GPS connection with Construct 2 ?

Maybe preview on LAN with WiFi?

Or try it on the Construct 3 beta that is running right now, since you'll be able to use C3 on your phone.

I just bout Construct2 a few days ago - haven't seen that there is a 3rd version popping up.

Thanks for the info!

Where can i download it?

Greetings from here!

Construct.net, it is web based. You'll also get the first year for free if you got c2 recently.

Thanks for the information.

But the main question is if native API support can be tested right away or if you have to compile/build the game first.

What i have found last night is this:

1. i create my game with construct 2

2. i export my game to a folder (takes about 2 minutes) for mobile via the Cordova option

3. i start the Phonegap Desktop application so that i can test out live my game

The problem is when i need to change anything, i have to restart everything from the first step

It would be awesome if you could have some kind of "live preview"

Thanks again and greetings.

The live preview is web based, but should be fine for testing. If you specifically want to test the Cordova export, you'll indeed need to export each time.

Thnks oosyrag for that info.

As i mentioned on an other post, the problem with the web-based live preview is that Google Chrome does not support

unsecure origins for the Geolocation. I have seen that i can set up a "whitelist" containing my IP, but that is nothing that

an amateur like me realy would love to do, as it sounds a bit difficult.

Do you know if the live preview on mobile will be possible with Version 3 of Construct?

Greetings and thanks.
