  • The export dialog's android version is to select the minimum Android version.

  • Use the Browser object On suspended/On resumed triggers.

  • Can you share your .capx file? There's not much we can do to help otherwise.

  • Safari 11 already has the absolute minimum C3 needs to run, and we do have an experimental version of C3 running in it (see this tweet). There's still some work to do to polyfill missing features, work around Safari bugs, and make sure performance is good enough. However we can probably at least bring out a sort of alpha-test of C3 for Safari after the Safari 11 release.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I think this was originally closed because the pasting is handled by the UI library, which we don't control and can't fix. So it's basically stuck as it is in C2.

    It should work in C3 though, so please go ahead and file a bug if there's any similar issue there.

  • Our data showed it was actually used pretty rarely. You can still use Ctrl + F5 to start a debug which is probably even faster.

  • The end result is a single HTML file, so it's only one HTTP request.

    No way. I'd ask if they're joking, but it sounds like they mean it. Tell your client that is far slower to download, will use much more memory, and will be much slower to load. I am not kidding, that is a whole new level of deoptimisation beyond turning off spritesheets; inlining loads of binary files as strings is way less efficient.

    As for spritesheet memory optimisation, we have dozens of critical things to be working on right now, and I have seen precisely zero cases where spritesheeting has caused memory problems in a game, so it's not a priority right now.

  • Construct makes 2D games, and WebVR is a 3D technology, so I'm not sure how Construct could usefully integrate it.

  • It's almost certainly to do with your particular third party plugins. That is why nobody else is reporting it, and plugin developers very frequently make this type of mistake. I guess failing to report the errors is a separate issue.

    There's nothing wrong with cf_deprecated or af_deprecated on their own, but ef_deprecated is invalid on its own because C2 still needs to know the return type of the expression since it can still be used by existing projects! So it must be combined with one of the return type flags, but plugin developers frequently replace the flag and make that mistake.

    Similarly a plugin can't say it is a "world" type if it specifies pf_singleglobal, probably just another addon developer mistake.

  • They want to have the art assets hidden and reduce the amount of HTTP requests (the individual sprites I can easily encode as data URIs, but currently having to reverse the spritesheeting makes it a bit more cumbersome).

    This makes no sense. Spritesheeting does reduce the number of HTTP requests. Besides, HTTP2 makes it a moot point since it makes the cost of additional HTTP requests so low. It sounds like someone's confused about what's going on or what's important to optimise.

  • Which is the first build that it stops working in? That is always a critical thing to know in a bug report.

  • None of the related code changed between r245 and r256. They make exactly the same plugin checks. I've no idea why one would report an error but not the other.
