  • I'm trying to locate the user's roaming directory, and for some reason NWjs.UserFolder returns an incomplete path that lacks the drive that the folder is located in.

    What's the intended way of solving this?

  • Awesome. This helped. Thanks a lot!

  • Alright, that's good.

    How long does it usually take for beta releases to go stable?

    Thanks.

  • I've always used this to determine what type of build that the player is running on, which in turn is used to select an appropriate storage method with appropriate fallbacks.

    This is really important to me, so is there an alternative that doesn't involve manually changing the code for each build?

  • That's a big shame.

    What's the alternative? Because as I see it there's no way of determining which storage method to use if we can't determine which type of build that the user is running.

  • Can you post a screen-shot?

    Do you have platform behavior on the sprite in question?

    I'm not talking about the platformer behavior. I'm talking about the "is on platform" condition under "system".

  • Try Construct 3

  • The "is on platform" option is nowhere to be found in my editor despite the fact that it's mentioned in the manual.

    I have a paid license and am currently logged in.

    Thanks.

  • I'm using a SpriteFont object that says "Loading" in my loader layout.

    Then I use "On loader layout complete" to go to the next frame.

    The problem I'm encountering is that the "Loading" text isn't unloading, and carries over to the next frame.

    I just started the project so there's nothing else going on.

    How do I fix this?

  • That worked, thanks.

  • I'm using Safari on macOS.

    For some reason the layers panel is gone.

    How do I make it reappear?

  • Okay so apparently this seems to be a macOS or Safari issue. The way to get around it is to undock- and dock the panel repeatedly and in different positions until the tile window content finally shows.

    Must be a bug or something.

  • Yeah. I'm also in touch with Scirra support, so I've already gone through the basic troubleshooting steps.

  • I tried, but nothing happens when I save the project as a file. No download is initiated.

    Furthermore, all I've done is create a tilemap and nothing else. I've used Construct 2 for years, and if tilemaps work the same way then I don't think it's a user error.

  • Anyone?

  • No, it's always been there.
