  • I've tried both the 32 and 64 bit builds, and some different projects. It works fine for me, can't get it to crash at all. If you click 'ignore' does it continue to work or does it crash afterwards?

  • Those steps work fine here. Does it happen every time if you do it again?

  • I can't reproduce. Did you click 'Back' in the dialog or some extra step I'm missing?

  • It's a problem with your server.

    Those characters are usually hidden: they mark the file as being encoded with UTF-8 (unicode). All files and text used by Construct 2 are encoded in UTF-8 to ensure it works in all languages across the world.

    However, your server is set up differently and appears to try to force the ISO-8859-1 character set instead of UTF-8. I guess your server is set up to serve Portuguese text, and this conflicts with the UTF-8 text in the HTML. Note that only Firefox gets confused and displays the UTF-8 marker: Internet Explorer and Chrome seem to still figure out that they should use UTF-8. Using a tool to check server headers, you can see your server reponds with

    Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

    Content-Language: pt-BR

    Scirra.com responds with:

    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

    Your server should really be using UTF-8 since it's the only way to ensure that text is displayed properly for everyone regardless of their language. If you don't know how to do it get in touch with whoever runs your server. Another workaround which isn't as good is to simply convert your index.html file to the ISO-8859-1 character set (a program like Notepad++ is good for this), but it will keep happening with files Construct 2 exports until you fix the server.

  • Isn't this possible using Image Points? Some UI in the layout view would certainly make this a lot easier, but we have a great deal to do as it is already. You say it's 'near impossible' but I think it should be pretty straightforward with a bunch of 'set position' actions to an image point. You could also use instance variables to keep track of angles along joints like arms. Wouldn't that do the trick?

    Edit: or even try the Pin behavior!

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • If you're logged in when you purchase you should automatically get a badge! The server might take an hour or two to update though.

  • If you press Ctrl+Shift+J when Chrome freezes, are there any error messages?

    Normally error messages are silent so the average web page doesn't prompt error messages at you, but if you press Ctrl+Shift+J you can see the error Chrome encountered.

  • Oh, see that's exactly the kind of thing I didn't realise was bothering people! Added for next build - you can invert multiple conditions at once.

  • If old builds have started doing it as well I guess it's not an issue with C2, it must be something changed with your computer. So I don't really know what to say. Perhaps try a system restore... or if all else fails, try reinstalling Windows? :-\ (Might be a good time to upgrade to Windows 7, C2 works a bit better on 7)

  • I think one of the best kinds of feedback is small usability things, e.g. "I keep opening this dialog and clicking the wrong button... how about swapping them round?" or "I keep making this kind of event, a little feature to help would be great..." - usually they're quick fixes and just make everything go a bit smoother and nicer for everyone. Wishlists tend to be heavyweight features which don't generally go for that angle.

  • Use an event something like:

    + Is touching BigLeftButton

    -> Player: simulate control left

    + Is touching BigRightButton

    -> Player: simulate control right

    etc.

  • Best wait for the next build which uses the PhoneGap API and see if that works for you.
