Importing Photoshop Layers

i have scenery sets consisting of 30 layers in Photoshop.

is it possible to import these in C2 and keep the x & y co-ordinates in C2 so that I won't have to reposition them manually?

Not sure what you mean...

I have 30 sprites all on different layers in photoshop.

they are all positioned on the screen in place.

can i import them in C2 keeping the same screen positions?

or i have to save out everything in 30 png files, load them in C2 and position them manually in C2?

We don't currently have a Photoshop import feature I'm afraid, and I'm not sure we will in the near future. All I can recommend is try to design your layers inside Construct 2 from the start.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a straight import of the PSD files.

For example I can export a text file from Photoshop with the screen co-ordinate values. But I have no idea what to do on the C2 side.

Unfortunately the Graphic artist does not use Construct and it's going to take quite a lot of time to get the layers positioned pixel perfect in C2

Creating something like this in LAYOUT.XML should be no problem from Photoshop:

               <instance type="Sprite">

                    <properties>

                        <initial-visibility>Visible</initial-visibility>

                        <initial-frame>0</initial-frame>

                        <effect>(none)</effect>

                    </properties>

                    <world>

                        <x>150</x>

                        <y>150</y>

                        <z>0</z>

                        <width>256</width>

                        <height>256</height>

                        <depth>0</depth>

                        <hotspotX>0.5</hotspotX>

                        <hotspotY>0.5</hotspotY>

                        <angle>0</angle>

                        <opacity>1</opacity>

                    </world>

               </instance>

However PROJECT.caproj also has reference to the Sprites.

Can I leave out the <collision-poly> details (as these will be impossible to recreate in Photoshop), or will I mess up C2?

GUESS COLLISION POINTS seems to recalculate the collision polygon... just what I needed!

I think I might give it a shot tomorrow, to try to re-create C2 friendly XML co-ordinate files from Photoshop!!!
