  • Hey...

    As some of you may know since Construct 2 r206 Scirra team decided to disable Webstorage by default

    and use the new "Localstorage" instead

    which not only tricky to use but you have to do double as much events as you would do in Webstorage

    and i can't really find any benefits to use Localstorage over Webstorage.

    So after some looking around opening files and closing others i finally got it

    and guys this is how you enable Webstorage again

    OK so first of all you need to locate your installation directory

    it's probably in here "C:\Program Files\Construct 2" Please note that yours might be different

    then go to "exporters\html5\plugins" and scroll down till you find "webstorage"

    open it and you will find 4 files

    we will just edit "edittime.js" and just leave the rest alone

    once you right click "edittime.js" and selected "Edit" from the menu

    you will find this:

    I actually forget to save the old file so this is the final result

    function GetPluginSettings()
{
	return {

		"id": "WebStorage",

var property_list = [

function IDEObjectType()

}

IDEObjectType.prototype.CreateInstance = function(instance)
{
	return new IDEInstance(instance, this);

function IDEInstance(instance, type)

{
}[/code:1ep9byyq]

so you will find [code:1ep9byyq]"flags": pf_singleglobal[/code:1ep9byyq]

is a bit different

so what ever is after flags just replace it with [code:1ep9byyq]pf_singleglobal[/code:1ep9byyq]
so final result should be exactly the same as above or as this in here

[code:1ep9byyq]"flags": pf_singleglobal[/code:1ep9byyq]

[i][b]and just leave everything alone don't change anything else[/b][/i]

and just save the file and that's it

please note that if you have any problem saving the file just save anywhere else on your Desktop for example
and then replace the original file with the new one you have just created.

and another thing is English is not my Native language
so don't blame me if you saw something weird

that's it for today if you guys have any questions feel free to leave them down below
and good bye.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Or you could just use LocalStorage instead of a deprecated feature.

  • If you want to use webstorage instead of localstorage, you can just use "show deprecated plugins" (left click on "insert new object" box)...

  • Well then i didn't know about that

    thank you for this tip MadSpy and mindfaQ that makes it a lot easier
