  • No - I don't know anything about HLS, I'd have to look up the math. Can't you do it by hand? All you need to do is convert HLS to RGB and use the RGB() expression on the results.

  • Hmm... try putting the canvas on a layer and enable 'Force own texture' for that layer. The layer will be drawn on its own to a separate offscreen surface, and the canvas should then only process the frame feedback on that. Not sure if that'll work though.

  • This effect is called frame feedback and you can achieve it by placing a fullscreen canvas on top of everything, enabling 'Grab layout before drawing' (or after, I forget), and setting the canvas opacity to less than 100%, eg. 90%. This means it draws a semitransparent copy of the last frame on top of the current frame, with a cumulative effect. The lower the percentage the longer the trails will be. I don't like the effect much though, it looks like a bad motion blur.

  • This won't happen before Construct 2, but we have vague plans for it.

  • Only the DirectX installer connects to the internet IIRC. You can hit cancel on the DirectX installer and Construct will carry on installing, it won't cancel the entire setup. But even if you have DirectX 9.0c you might not have the "optional" updates they release from time to time, that Construct requires (bad naming on Microsoft's part IMO).

    You need the DirectX end-user runtime for August 2008 or newer on your offline PC, so to get that head over to microsoft.com and download the latest full DirectX installer. Then you can copy that to your offline PC, install it, and Construct should work (you can cancel away the DirectX installer that appears during Construct setup).

    The offline DirectX setup is around 80mb. Considering Construct itself is under 15mb, we used the web setup to download the required files instead. (I think SourceForge also might not like basically becoming a file server for the DirectX setup.)

    Anyways, that should work, let us know if it does.

  • Have you thought about making the naming a bit more intuitive? I might go with "State is active" rather than "state is true", and "On state deactivated"/"On state activated" rather than the true-to-false terminology. Interesting idea for a plugin though!

  • I think ademisaalbo has plenty to think about now, so I'm going to lock this for now.

  • What version of Construct are you actually using? Have you tried the lastest unstable build? There were some python fixes in recent unstable releases.

  • Hey everyone,

    We needed some extra help running the forum and Linkman2004 accepted an invite to be a mod. Basically this means he's volunteered to help with the sometimes tricky work which is keeping the forums running smoothly, so go easy on him

  • OK. I guess it would also be handy to specify a different backup folder, eg. to a thumb drive or other folder, so you don't get your working directory cluttered with backup files. However this will probably (like all other features) be postponed to post-1.0 or Construct 2 because we're really trying to focus on simply stabilising what we've got towards 1.0. It's unlikely we'll add any new features before then.

  • OK, so why not enable autobackup with 999 backups or something? Or I suppose you'd prefer the kind of workflow where you edit your application saving normally, and at the end before closing save a new version?

  • If you get a blue screen error it's a problem with your drivers or graphics card, not Construct. If it takes 20 minutes before it happens it may be overheating and rebooting. Check your graphics card temperature immediately after it reboots, or try improving ventilation (get a new fan for it, or try taking the side of the computer case off and running a fan in to it).
