  I've been meaning to add an enable/disable shader preview option, but in the mean time just turn WebGL off in project properties and the editor updates accordingly.

  There's lots of existing software that does this well - all you need to do is record the browser while playing your game. I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel when good solutions already exist!

  balistrerinick - the iPad it does not work on probably has got stuck with an offline cache of a version that doesn't work (before you set your server up properly perhaps). By changing the URL, you force the browser to use a fresh cache. So try calling the folder on your server test2 or something and check again.

  Closing as this is probably just a stuck cache issue

  Closing as not a request... this is on the todo list!

  Construct 2 games can be on Steam using the node-webkit exporter, and Valve say that Steam integration is entirely optional, so you don't have to use the Steamworks API to get on Steam. However there are a few problems like the fact the API is under NDA, so it's a bit trickier than normal.

  We don't officially support third party plugins, so if you want to avoid potential problems like this stick to the official features (e.g. using the official Windows 8 object instead).

  'Mouse is over object' followed by 'Trigger once' is equivalent to 'On mouse in', and negated 'Mouse is over object' followed by 'Trigger once' is equivalent to 'On mouse out'. Is that what you're after?

  I don't think there are any third party plugins for those specific services yet, but if you know javascript it should be straightforward using the Javascript SDK.

  You might just want to use a fullscreen mode so it takes up the whole page, rather than just centering.

  Lordtommy33 - have you tried troubleshooting Construct 2's preview server?

  This type of thing is suitable for the Javascript SDK, since you have to code the parent page Javascript anyway.

  Our engine already does most the things on that list, and those it doesn't are already planned. Generally we prefer to avoid using third party libraries and write our own version, especially if they're small (this one's only 5k), so we don't get hosed if the library author disappears/breaks it/doesn't want to maintain it.
