  • CSS will only allow cosmetic changes, probably not any significant layout changes. What kind of layout changes do you want? You know you can drag around the bars everywhere and put them where you want?

  • I don't know if they've already made the change or not, but it's certainly on their agenda so it most likely will happen in the next few releases.

    I think it's an overreaction to call it a disaster - it just means preview-over-wifi is treated as HTTP preview, not HTTPS, so some of the security-sensitive features are disabled. There's also a workaround, by setting up port forwarding with Chrome dev tools.

  • I asked Tom about this in the office and he said it didn't affect us, but guess he should confirm... Tom

  • This isn't actually a Construct 2 bug - it's because Chrome now requires HTTPS support to allow fullscreen mode. Chrome makes a special exception for localhost, but LAN IPs don't qualify. You can work around it using Chrome dev tools and a wired connection with port forwarding, which means you get a localhost address on the device too, but it takes a bit of setup.

  • I think if you have tons of globals you could do a lot to refactor your events.

    In particular static local variables are designed as a substitute for globals but just scoped to the events that use them. For example you could use 10 static locals inside a group, when only just that group uses them, and they never appear anywhere else in the event system, and the variables themselves are close to where they are used. I think this is an under-used feature and would do a lot to solve the "global overload" problem.

  • I would contact your host's support for information. The signalling server also has a readme with more information. However I'd recommend against hosting your own server if you're not sure how to do it - it is easy to set up a server which has worse connectivity than the Scirra one. For example unless you set up a secure server with TLS and certificates and all that, a proportion of users will not be able to connect.

  • We'll probably provide something like a local server hosted plugin option to make this easier, yes.

    Note you only needed to restart C2 for edittime changes - the runtime changes did not need restarting, and that was usually the bulk of the work.

  • Our designer hasn't got his hands on the UI yet, we'll be doing an updated theme and a few alternate themes (including a dark one) when we get round to it, hopefully during the public beta.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Performance on Android 5.0+ with the webview is generally fine, it's normally the same as the Chrome browser since they share the same browser engine. In fact it's the same browser engine as Crosswalk, but more up-to-date. (Almost everybody who complains turns out to have a GPU-blacklisted device, which affects just a few % of devices.)

    Eventually Android 4.x will shrink to a negligible amount of market share. You can keep using the last version of Crosswalk up until then.

  • It's not really an error, I'm not sure why Firefox logs it like that. It's just a performance note saying it had to do some processing of image data before making a texture. Most browsers do that already AFAIK, so it's nothing new.
