  • Also if you're just using it for a textbox, might as well use the "text input" object.

    Then you have a builtin event for changes and expressions for value.

  • You can do it with scripting.

    Add event listener to that ID (make sure you wait for previous action if you are inserting your divs in runtime)

    const element = document.getElementById("textarea");

    element.addEventListener("change", (e) => {

    do something...

    you can run a C3 function like this:

    runtime.callFunction("functionName", param1, param2);

    });

    And get content like this:

    element.value

  • Thanks Ashley

    Yeah sure, I usually do post bugs to the tracker, this one felt a bit odd and I wasn't sure if it's a bug or just something wrong with my browser, so I wanted to see if it's a common issue with other users first.

    It's not an urgent or critical bug, so I wasn't in a rush to follow up on this.

  • Anyone else has an issue with the recent project list in C3?

    Mine stopped updating, not sure why, I'm using the latest beta.

    Any suggestion on how to try and fix it before filling a bug report?

  • I did some bone animations with Spriter and C3, but that was back in 2021, worked well at the time.

  • Headbang Games do you mean you are using browser text rendering or composing letters from boxes used as pixels?

    If browser rendering, across all browsers it seems difficult to turn off 'font-smoothing'.

    I think I understand the problem better, the issue is with how C3 implements the text object and how it is blitted to a lower resolution canvas.

    I think HBG means to use HTML rendered canvas separate from c3 canvas (e.g. using C3 HTML layers) to render at screen resolution to get a sharp effect. I've tried a quick experiment and talked with the OP about this and they are doing experiments. They are also using High quality scaling.

    Yes, browser rendered separated html object, it also allows for more types of css styling, like shadows and backgrounds. In the not so distant past it was also the only way to get outlines and RTL support, but that's been added to the text object as well.

  • I use html boxes for my texts, so no matter the project resolution or setting you get a sharp clear text in all sizes. It might be a little trickier to place them if you need them embedded in the scene, but it's doable with the new html layering feature.

  • Oh well, can't blame a dude for wishful thinking :)

  • That hasn't shipped in Construct yet. I was just testing an experimental WebView2 feature and reporting back my results to Microsoft.

    I thought you were referring to permission prompts when you said "skip the user verification" - it is already the case that NW.js and WebView2 should both skip permission prompts when using the File System object. However it can currently only access files and folders previously chosen by a picker dialog. The experimental feature was testing was for the ability to access known folders (e.g. Documents) without needing a picker dialog. Support for that should come in future.

    Great, that's exactly what I meant, being able to access the user's savegames directory and read/write files without any user input.

    So just to be clear, once this will ship to construct, these features will be accessible in normal preview too? And possibly in NWjs? So I can have just one set of saving/loading events for both platforms.

  • > But I saw in your opened ticket, that the File System api was worked around to skip the user verification, which is still in the beta branch.

    I don't recall what you're referring to here. Can you link to your reference?

    IIRC we already shipped the skip to user verification some time ago and so that should already be in the current stable release.

    This:

    github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/3706

    It looks like only last month you tested it while still being in beta.

  • Thank you for the info!

    > 1. I noticed that the FileWebView2 plugin's folders expressions do not work in preview (I didn't test any of the other functions). Is this a bug or something that will not be possible with this WebView2 file system plugin?

    Construct's normal preview runs in a browser, not WebView2, so WebView2 features are not available there. You can however check 'Export for Remote Preview' when exporting WebView2 to more conveniently test WebView2 features via Remote Preview.

    Yeah, that is what I figured. But I saw in your opened ticket, that the File System api was worked around to skip the user verification, which is still in the beta branch. Once that will get in the stable branch, will the File System api be able to show this data in preview, or will we still need another plugin just for the webView2 features?

    > If not, what is the suggested work method for supporting all operation systems in the same project?

    If you still need macOS and Linux support, for simplicity I would advise to keep using NW.js for the time being. If you only need Windows support (and note that about 97% of Steam users use Windows) then I would recommend using WebView2 instead.

    That might have been the case a few years ago, but the Steam Deck is running Linux and it grows in popularity every day. I can do without macOS, but Linux is a must these days.

    > 3. Will it ever be possible to set a WebView2 app window to maximize in runtime?

    It's already possible via a custom wrapper extension, but support is not yet built-in. You can however request fullscreen on startup with WebView2 just like you can with NW.js.

    Yeah, I'm already using the fullscreen request, for when the player chooses Fullscreen mode, but if they switch to Window mode, I would still want the window to be maximized. Both when switching between the two and when running again in Window mode.
