  • vtrix, it saves just fine here, no problems at all. Can you copy+paste the entire error message that you get? It may include details of the problem.

  • It should be possible by a plugin actually - a plugin could call toDataURL() on the main canvas and download a PNG of whatever the canvas is showing. You may not be able to copy it to the clipboard, but you could download it or upload it somewhere else.

  • You can make sure all your events are in groups and disable them. But I wouldn't bother. The game will go in to low-cpu mode if the tab is hidden or the window is minimized. So you shouldn't have to do anything, if the user is not interested in looking at the game it won't be using much CPU.

  • A web IDE is actually very different to a game editor IDE! So I don't think this is going to be in our plans.

  • FYI you're allowed to remove the link if you have a license (it's only that it must be there in the free edition). We just put it there in the hopes some people would want to give us a link.

  • I would highly recommend Construct 2 over Classic, since we're aiming to have it eventually replace Classic completely, and it has better documentation and is more stable. In the short term it may be lacking some things Classic had but in the long term it will definitely be the best option, and remember you cannot import a project from Classic in to Construct 2.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Wouldn't it be a better idea to save to a new temporary file then copy that over the old file.

    It already does that. It saves to myfile.capx.tmp, then providing everything has saved OK so far, it deletes the .capx and renames the .capx.tmp to .capx. So I have no idea how anyone could get corrupt files. I guess these things just happen, so hopefully autobackup will help there anyway.

    (For the record it does the same for every file in a project folder as well - e.g. first it saves to Layout1.xml.tmp, then if successful it deletes Layout1.xml and renames the .tmp)

  • You do not have permission to view this post

  • Can you post a .capx file demonstrating this?

  • Can you reproduce this? Are there any steps to make this always happen or is it a one-off? This message should in theory never appear, so I want to fix the real problem, not just make it do another save afterwards...

  • The 'Is online' condition literally has one line to return whatever the browser says its online status is. So I'm afraid it looks like the browser does not support it and there's nothing we can do to fix it ourselves.

    The next build includes some extra AppMobi integration which might help you solve this though.

  • Does the exported project work OK or is there a file missing? If so which file is missing and what was its image format in the image editor? Did you enable PNG recompression? These are the things that could relate to this bug.
