  Modularity features have topped our feature request polls several times, we're well aware of the demand for them. However they are probably also the most complex feature to implement, and we've only just started on tilemap support. So hopefully we will get to it eventually, but probably not in the near future.

  It should be identical, except slightly faster since we run lots of optimisations when you export. So that's a weird result.

  Post a .capx - those settings should make it work fine.

  Set Pixel Rounding to 'Yes', sampling to 'Point', and fullscreen mode to 'letterbox integer scale'.

  It is far better to crop them. A power of two minus two is not the optimal size - it's just the biggest size that fits neatly in to a power-of-two size sprite sheet (with 1px of transparent spacing). If you use a smaller size, you'll be able to pack more animation frames in to a single sprite sheet, which will save memory.

  The 8 direction behavior is only designed to keep itself out of solids, not to be pixel perfect. The platform behavior has been tuned to be pixel perfect, so if you need that, use the Platform behavior.

  Normalize your audio to less than peak level, or just play them at lower than 0 dB volume. Maybe -3 dB. Then you won't go past peak level and the limiter shouldn't need to kick in. The more sounds you play at once the lower you should set the volume. Or just trust the system limiter to do it's job, it's preventing distortion and it's a useful feature.

  Huh, that's weird that they'd use a string instead of a simple true/false value. Updated for next build.

  Closing as won't fix. The .capx file is simply missing some animation frame files. We want to fix this is a bug caused them to go missing, but we can't fix it without the steps that caused the problem in the first place.

  So the actual bug is lastdata is not set if the HTTP error code is 400? I've changed the plugin to still set lastdata in this case, so hopefully the next build fixes it.

  Closing as won't fix. Why would you use the 8 direction behavior instead of the platform behavior? It's not designed to be used in this way.

  Nope, can't reproduce on Firefox Nightly either. Your description exactly matches what a compressor/limiter would do to avoid distortion, especially if you have normalised your audio to peak level before import, so this is most likely not a Construct 2 bug.

  Closing, I changed the way the console object is detected and that should fix it.

  Thanks, should be fixed in the next build. Note your example file has its own issues not to do with the bug though (e.g. wrong cell size, should have cell border of -1, 8 direction will conflict with Pathfinding movement).
