  • It can be fun from time to time but I personally don't watch too much of that type of content usually. I think Randy is fun to watch and he has that typical australian humor to it. youtube.com/@randyprime/videos

  • It's probably just a false positive as usual in these cases? But even virustotal doesn't show a single false positive for me. There's also the possibility that something actually injected the trojan into the file (some weird browser plugin, your system is compromised,...)

    This never popped up for me but it appears to be quite a common thing actually according to reddit.com/r/computerviruses/comments/x1af2y/any_chance_that_trojanscriptwacatachml_is_not

  • I kind of wanted to say that you can simply work around it like this

    I feel like it should work but it absolutely doesn't. I also tried a sprite and it also does not behave as expected. I also tried pick by overlapping point instead, which also doesn't work. It seems to be weirdly offset from what is visually seen on the screen at best. I'm not sure exactly what is going on there but it might warrant a bug report?

  • What resolution did you make your game? In the project properties you have the "Viewport size" setting that you can adjust to your needs. Or as an alternate solution, you can scale your sprites down to the size you want them to be in (but I'd recommend the first approach)

  • I believe if you are using the latest Greenworks/Greengrinds addon and NWJS 82 or higher, you don't have to add any of those libraries.

    I don't? Now I'm just confused :V

  • It's in the platform info plugin.

    Platform Info: expressions 'FramesPerSecond' and 'TicksPerSecond'

  • I agree on the list approach. Keeping a list of x,y positions of tiles that are available to claim makes sense to me.

    To find the nearest tile without resorting to sprites, you can use the distance expression. You'll have to go through the whole list though to find the nearest but I think "pick nearest sprite" doesn't really do anything different to that. So you would go through the whole list, store the distances of each and then use the one with the smallest distance.

    But realistically, there is nothing really wrong with just using invisible helper sprites either... It's a functional solution with little to think about and probably already optimized to run as fast as possible. Many roads lead to rome.

  • This looks correct. Make sure you have all the correct steam SDK files in your package.nw.

    I personally used the Greengrinds addon just recently (on latest beta) and it works perfectly. So worst case you could try this instead. construct.net/en/make-games/addons/244/greengrinds

    Also pro tip: You do not need to edit the package.nw after exporting. I see this repeated time and time again and it's just not true. All you have to do is import the required SDK files into your game directly inside Construct. That's it! I wasted so much time on this nonsense because of that misinfo! Just export it, run the icon updater, zip it and ship it.

    Here's what my files look like. Tested and working on windows, mac and linux.

  • This was a change in a recent beta release

    In other words, if there's nothing happening on the screen, the fps will "drop" simply because it's not necessary to redraw the screen.

    We've also made some changes to framerate handling to clear up some confusion. Firstly, the standard frames per second (FPS) measurement previously actually measured ticks per second, and so could still read 60 FPS even if nothing was being rendered, which happens when nothing is changing. We've changed it to now only measured rendered frames per second, so it will drop to 0 when nothing is being rendered. We've added back a separate ticks per second (TPS) measurement which reflects the old measurement. This all makes it clearer to identify the rate at which frames are drawn and ticks are processed, which are not always the same. We've also changed the 'Set min/max framerate' action to 'Set min/max delta-time' to more accurately reflect what it does, as using the term 'framerate' is a bit misleading there.

    I'm just not sure why the other example doesn't show this drop since there's also nothing happening on screen...

  • Not sure about going with 1.05... The 1 in the formula should stay constant afaik and I don't know about the ramifications. Maybe it's fine?

    This formula will be somewhat different to the framerate dependent lerp and you should adjust the factor accordingly. Basically the higher the factor, the slower the speed.(As opposed to the other way around) I found I'm having to use very small values to make it snappy, like 0.000000001

    But the point is it's framerate independent so even if it's slower than it should be, it will be so across all framerates.

  • Oh I know, that's what I mentioned as the alternate solution ;)

    There's still some issues I see even if I had such an exporter, but it would absolutely be a step in the right direction. At least I think I see issues, I have barely tried the bulk importer.

    I'm also not currently in the mood at all for tool dev, and as mentioned I don't know LUA (which aseprite uses) so that would involve a ton of reading, trial and error. I dunno about relatively easy...
