  • Giganten that example didn't freeze for me on either of my 2 computers?

    AMD R9 290

    Intel Xeon E3 1230 (an i7 without intel graphics)

    16gb ram

    Windows 7

    Intel HD Graphics 4400

    i3-4010U

    4gb ram

    Windows 8

    Is it just certain parts that cause the freezing? Does it happen with every new nodewebkit game on your computers?

  • Tokinsom thanks, it didn't say that in the tooltip.

  • That would be cool to combine them, though you wouldn't want the "crop" tool to add a 1 pixel empty border around an image your using to tile as the sprite object currently does. With the merge I hope the offsetting feature is added too, so that the texture can move within the sprite. Although it would be fantastic to have that texture offsetting added to the spritefont object first, so that we could use multiple colors in our text

  • Yay, looking forward to this plugin.

  • As Silverforce noted this Mac NW bug is only in the C2 beta builds, hopefully it'll be fine by the time we get to the stable one anyway.

  • I don't think that would work too well, unless the image has no transparent parts.

    An example of what colored Spritefont text could be like:

  • andreyin That would be cool, did you find a solution?

  • What is the most efficient way to make it so that when it's typing a long word near the end of line it doesn't shift down to a new line if it gets too long?

  • Joannesalfa Yep, I use groups! But sometimes, usually in large projects, you don't need all subevents showing (look up the Construct 2 manual if you don't know what subevents are). However, at this point in the topic we have established that Construct 2 remembers which events are collapsed, aside when you do a search and forget to clear it, so this request is less necessary now.

    Nice Bug spotting, I don't think anyone has reported that before? It must just be the "search" thing causing it to expand all events, I'll keep that in mind.

  • Thanks Ashley.

    Ya, no reason to go crazy over a bug or two.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Heads open: This is still an issue in the latest Construct 2 build 176, which updated node-webkit to v0.10.1.

  • Scirra has no control over whether Steam give a discount or not.

    Developers can now set their own dates for sales/discounts, if they desire to do so.

  • Sometimes when I open an event sheet, all of the events are open! This is bad, because it means I now need to close/collapse all events (yet again!) which is a bad use of time as it makes for a cluttered and messy viewing experience, and makes it harder to get where I want to go in the sheet if I have to scroll past every event line.

    There is an option to "collapse all groups", but no option to "collapse all events". Events are able to open and close like Groups, so it would be cool if we could extend this feature to events!

    Thanks.

  • Hey Arima, I think that works for the Mouse object, but I don't think it works for sprites.

    I found a reasonable solution though, it involves creating an "anchor", which is a sprite with the anchor behaviour on a layer you want that is set at pos: 100,100. This is used to determine the scale of the canvas, if we turn it into a percentage:

    100/LayerToCanvas X("Layer",anchor.X,anchor.Y)

    This will give something like 70 or 100% depending on monitor size, so you can multiply this to other uses of LayerToCanvas to make it consistent across all displays, I just jumble it all together though:

    (100/LayerToCanvas X("Layer",anchor.X,anchor.Y))*LayerToCanvas X("Layer",sprite.X,sprite.Y)
