Manual Minification

Is there a way to minify my C2 output without using the built in option. For some reason my current game doesnt run when minified.

Mhhmm I would say you need to google for

"encrypt" or something. Minify isn´t really the right term I guess

I prefer the word obfuscate It's just a nice weird little word. Anywho:

If it doesn't work minified then presumably there's some bug in the code and no other minifier will work either. If you're not using third party plugins you should report the issue as a bug.

Well its odd, if i create a new project then it works fine, but the game i have been working on for a while, which is nearly complete doesnt. This makes it difficult to report as a bug i guess.

spongehammer :

the closure compiler (as it is called) is inside (where you installed construct 2)\Construct 2\exporters\html5\tools\closure , https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/?hl=fr this may help you using it, or using another version of the minifyier (or the same with other settings) for the time being.

I do not know that much about it though, and at th end I hope you won't have to go into this routine each time.

Thanks for all the replies.

I dont really know enough about it to be honest so i have to take it as read what Ashley says. What does seem strange is that the closure compiler doesnt give any errors. The output just doesnt run. If i check the running processes then my game is running but there is nothing on the screen. I have also tried it on another machine, just the same.

I have to assume its something in my C2 project that it doesnt like although you would imagine it wouldnt run minified or not.

Just out of interest i tried installing R153 & R154. Minification works fine, as does my game under 153 but minification stops the game running under 154. I realise this probably isnt any help but like i said its not possible to post properly as a bug.

Are you using asm.js physics? That's known not to minify correctly.

I am indeed

I have tried my project minified with Box 2Dweb and it does work minified which is good.

Last question then, is minification worth not using asm.js physics ?

Thanks
