  • Hey

    I was wondering how to get the back button on Windows Phone 8 to take you back a menu inside the app. I read the thread with thehen and rob Kachmar, where you were trying to get the resume working, I got it working with the r116 release, but I'm trying to use the back button for in-app functionally as well. Is this possible?

    Also I'm having trouble with audio in the app, as it seems to play it on the phone with the media player.

    Thanks

  • Hi all (and plugin author),

    I installed the plugin, and added an event for the game to go to my Title Screen when the user clicks Back.

    My event sheet has this entry:

    WindowsPhone . On back --> System . Go to layout "TitleLayout"

    However, when I click the Back button on WP8, the game quits and goes to the WP system Start screen.

    Am I missing something? :-/

    Once I get this working, I also want to detect the layout, so that I can go to the title screen when the game is being played, or quit the game when it's already in the title screen.

    FYI, I am using the WP8 emulator in VS2012 since I don't have a physical device at the moment.

    Thanks in advance!

  • OnekSoftGames have you followed the plugin instructions, where you copy the relevant files into the project included in the .zip file?

  • Which instructions are you referring to? I was following the information in this thread:

    construct.net/en

    I followed these instructions:

    "Firstly download the plugin and extract to <install path>\exporters\html5\plugins. "

    I copied the plugin contents into the Plugins folder of Construct 2.

    C:\Program Files\Construct 2\exporters\html5\plugins\WindowsPhone

    Your instructions didn't say what to call the subfolder under plugins, so I just called it "WindowsPhone"... should it be something different?

    The instructions also say:

    "Included in the download is a Windows Phone project. Use this rather than exporting your own project."

    However, I already have an existing C2 project, which I exported to a WP8 project. I'm not quite sure how I can use your WP project, and still use my C2 project.

    Should I skip this step about using your WP project?

    Please advise, thanks!

  • OnekSoftGames using the included project is very important. Use this and copy your c2runtime.js, images, files and wav versions of the audio across.

    I'm writing a comprehensive tutorial at the moment which should be live in a few days if that helps.

  • Got it, will do, and look forward to your new tutorial this week!
