  • The View tab in the ribbon.

  • kiyoshi, any method to wrap a HTML5 app in an EXE is likely to add a lot to the filesize, since it basically has to contain an entire browser.

    I fear this thread is going in circles - I've written a lot of discussion already on this thread so I'm not going to say any more, just that you should make sure you've read the entire thread.

    I've also always encouraged people to use EXE wrappers themselves, since it ought to be straightforward. As I said before other than Steam I can't see the point, but if you want to you can. I did also try contacting Awesomium myself in case it was straightforward to make an official wrapper, but they don't seem to have got back to me which is disappointing. So let me know if any of the other wrappers work well for you!

  • Whenever you use Save As Construct 2 will keep saving to that file from then on as well. So if you save to a single file from a project file Construct 2 will keep updating the single file after that.

    If you want to go back to the project, just save as a single file, close the project, then reopen the folder project.

  • That's fine of course, we're very happy for people to help us promote Construct 2!

  • All updates to Construct 2 will be free for the time being (until Construct 3, but we're not even thinking about that yet, still plenty to do on C2 first).

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Yeah, it took a while to get done - I hope it's useful for everyone!

  • The manual is now finished. Get your RTFM, Manual Student, Manual Graduate and Manual Expert badges everyone!

  • nobrowser2, if you carry on like this you will be temp banned, please see the warning here. Also, it is totally unreasonable to expect a reply within 23 minutes, you should allow at least 24 hours for everyone to check the forum!

  • nobrowser2, your attitude today has been very rude. We are always happy to listen to constructive criticism but you are simply saying everything is rubbish. This attitude is not welcome on our forum.

    Perhaps Construct is not for everybody, in which case we welcome you to leave the forum and find another tool which better suits your needs. However, if you continue as you are, I'm afraid I will have to issue a temporary ban.

  • nobrowser2, what's the problem? Every single feature in Construct Classic and Construct 2 are implemented exclusively through the plugin SDK, even the built in stuff. Without plugins neither of the Constructs does anything at all. So it's totally unreasonable to be against using plugins, since it is impossible to do anything useful without them.

  • I believe what is happening is this:

    • small objects moving very quickly tend to miss collisions with other small objects since they step over them
    • the max fall speed is 1000 pixels per second which means at 30 fps it's stepping (1000/30=) about 33 pixels per tick, which is over twice as big as the object, meaning it risks stepping over the floor. The floor is very narrow as well making it more likely a collision is missed.
    • spawning lots of objects is probably pretty CPU intensive, causing dt to increase for that tick, which worsens the problem since the object will step further that tick when it's right by the floor.

    So I don't think this is a bug - you should avoid fast moving small objects. Reduce the max fall speed and make your platforms thicker.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Oh, I think you must have been caught out by this point: unless the offline.appcache changes, the browser won't check for an update. So you have to re-upload offline.appcache every time you update your game. To clarify this I edited the offline article with this section towards the end:

    b]Remember to re-upload the offline.appcache file

    If you're updating even just one file of your game, you must also re-upload the exported offline.appcache file - every time! Otherwise the browser will assume nothing has changed and won't bother downloading the update. (The offline.appcache file must have changed for the browser to check for an update, and Construct 2 adds a timestamp to the top of the offline.appcache file to ensure it always changes.)

  • It's not yet supported but it looks like the Box2DWeb library supports it - I'll add it to the todo list.

  • Equix

    1) this should be straightforward using different text objects - maybe post what you've tried if you're stuck?

    2) C2 games run in a browser so obviously can't just load any old file on your computer hard disk, but you could think about using the AJAX object instead.
