  • You can already do this if you make two applications in Construct:

    Make a Construct app that reads some data files and does something based on that

    Make a Construct app that generates the data files, and copy that with the 'runner' app somewhere, and you've got a 'custom' EXE.

    I can't see anything else working. We're never going to implement the Construct IDE in the runtime, that would be a nightmare. So I actually like UberLou's solution of "just download Construct"

  • Where does it crash? Does it reproduce every time? We can't fix problems you encounter if we don't know they exist and don't have any of the details. You should report the issues you're having to the bug tracker.

  • You can only change settings for plugins/behaviors in Python that are already available as actions, so if you can't change it via events, you can't change it in Python.

    Yeah, there are a few things that aren't runtime adjustable, usually it's just someone forgetting to add the actions and expressions. I'll try adding them.

  • Help buttons would be one way it could be better

  • Always read the changelogs. Changes like that are usually clearly outlined, eg. "Breaking change: 'Start of Application' removed, make sure you remove any events using it in your .cap or it will crash". I can't remember now why it was removed, but the changelog would've said why.

  • On a related note, is it bad to set up more than one array?

    I prefer to use smaller data sources, more localized. Like one array for the player, one for the enemies, and so on, instead of one large array.

    That should be fine. You might actually end up saving some memory that way.

  • You're the first to ask for this feature. Is it really that useful or important? I don't think it's realistic. How would you define how a separate EXE works, using events? That's going to be a very complicated system and will need to be thought out comprehensively, which would probably result in at least a 10 page spec, which we would never have time to work on...

  • Do not post the same thread multiple times. Locked.

  • Not yet. It's a standard windows control, so it uses the system colours.
