  • That error ("A mutation operation was attempted on a database...") is what you get when you disable websites being able to store any data locally in Firefox settings. I think the option is called "never remember history" or something, or it might be some other tracking prevention feature. If you block any website storing data, then your project can't store any data either.

  • It's actually saved to IndexedDB (a different subfolder), but as noted it's stored in an internal database format, so there's nothing much useful you can find in File Explorer.

  • I'm afraid I don't think browsers provide a way to turn off antialiasing. You'd have to use a SpriteFont.

  • Method 2 is correct: you should zip the folder contents, rather than the folder itself. In the zip, the files should be at the root, not in a subfolder in the zip. You don't need to rename it to .c3p either, it should still open just as a .zip. That's what I did with your project and it worked.

  • The functions feature was redesigned back in early to mid 2019. So it's been working like this a while!

  • It looks like there's a bug in Chrome that causes it to fail to access files in folder-based projects that have '~' in the name. You can zip the whole folder and open it as a single-file project successfully, so you can use that to work around it. Then you should be able to rename anything with '~' in the name to not use that character any more, and then save it as a folder-based project again.

  • I think it needs 1 or 2 lines of code changes to support JavaScript Modules. Contact the addon developer and refer them to this update from November.

  • There is no change to how functions work in r241. See the manual entry on functions.

  • It's been about 4 months already. Sorry, I think that's long enough: if the issue won't be fixed in that time, I doubt it will be fixed with more time.

    I'm afraid that, restating what I said before, if nobody can be found to spend 10 minutes doing a trivial update for an addon, and not doing that will hold back progress of Construct for everyone and impose maintenance burdens on us - then I think we're better off having a clean break. This is why you should choose third-party addons carefully and make sure there's someone around who can support it. Besides, what if something else goes wrong, like the next Safari update breaks the addon? You're completely stuck with a broken project again. Software needs maintenance.

  • If it's a cross-domain iframe, browsers expose virtually no information at all about it for security reasons. Not even if it loaded or failed to load.

  • Try Construct 3

  • It's hard to say for sure without seeing your project file, but in general, if your project works differently depending on the FPS/display rate, it is actually a framerate dependence issue as described by the tutorial I linked to. So I think you will need to amend the events as that tutorial describes.

  • Such lists are usually too difficult to maintain, since they change regularly, and vary across specific devices, Android versions, and browsers. The best way is probably just to test it yourself.

    I would not advise using "Is online" anyway. It's surprisingly difficult to determine if you are actually online or not - there are lots of common, grey-area states like suddenly going offline but the system hasn't noticed yet so it still says it's online, or being partially online and able to access some parts of the Internet but not others, etc. Reducing this to an on/off state is kind of misleading. Further you often don't need it anyway - for example there's no point checking if you are online before attempting an AJAX request. Just make the AJAX request, and see if it succeeds or fails.
