  • Yes that is kind of the idea I was going for. The shapes of the individual masks I guess can be rotated/chosen/scaled randomly based on position in the world I guess.

  • So for Christmas I got Windows Vista Ultimate, and I was long overdue for a format anyway so I jumped at the opportunity.

    Just an update - I can now run my own programs finally. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> It must have had something to do with my OS configuration with XP.

  • I'm trying to do something similar to some basic random terrain, and I'm having a difficult time. I have a dirt texture covering the whole layout, and am trying to randomly place a tiling rock texture, then randomly SHAPE it, I can rotate and resize it, but I can't give it a unique shape for the life of me. I was thinking maybe through creative use of a variety of mask objects chosen at runtime?

    EDIT: On this note - do we have an IRC room somewhere yet, so I can ask dumb questions there?

  • I achieved something similar using a box and manipulating its end points and width, but there's no dedicated line function?

  • Try Construct 3

  • I want to fire a chain off from the player, right now the end is using a bullet object, but how do I connect the two sprites with a line? I don't see a function for this at the moment, I could be overlooking it however.

  • If I right click on an object in my layout and then left click on the layout after the menu opens, I crash every single time.

    Right clicking on an empty layout doesn't do this, only if there's an object. However I naturally do this a lot when I'm working on a project so it happens a lot.

  • New error is:

    Failed to load plugin C:\DOCUME~1\Brian\LOCALS~1\Temp\cap64.tmp\0.sfx (998)

  • Alright thanks man, cause this tool is freaking awesome. I know some C++ but it took me something like two weeks to accomplish what I can do in minutes with Construct.

  • Well I uninstalled SVN and the green check mark disappeared. It is not possible to make the folder not read-only, as apparently it's supposed to be read only according to the Microsoft Knowledge Database. I reinstalled Construct to make sure all the libraries and such were properly installed the first time. I also deleted everything in the temp folder, but the executables still will not run. Hope all this information is helpful as to why it's not working.

  • I'm running Windows XP, not Vista.

    I tried making a program consisting of only a sprite and only a button. Neither ran from the EXE they created, both of them ran from preview within the program. They both threw me the same runtime error.

    I can confirm this is a problem with me personally though, as I had my friend run one of your demos from the site and he said it worked fine. Then I had him run one of the programs I have made (using preview) from EXE, and it worked great for him.

    I exported an empty, new project, and it ran from EXE, so it must have something to do with the plugins.

    UPDATE: Looked in that folder, C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Local Settings\Temp\cap48C.tmp\1.sfx

    The file is there, not to mention the files from every attempt at trying to run a program made with Construct are there littering the Local Settings folder. For some reason they are there but the program cannot access them, and is not deleting them.

    My local settings folder has a green check mark that has something to do with sharing on it, but network sharing is disabled for that folder. The folder is read only but according to the Microsoft Knowledge Database that is normal.

  • I can't for the life of me get the demos and executables to run, every single executable, either one that I've exported, or one from the official site, gives me this error (or a similar one).

    Runtime error: Failed to load plugin C:\DOCUME~1\Brian\LOCALS~1\Temp\cap48C.tmp\1.sfx

    They vary slightly on the filename, but what's going on? I can run these from within the Project if it's open in construct, by using Preview, but if I export an EXE I invariably get this error. Other than that this seems like an amazing tool, I just wish I could show my work to my friends. I searched the forums pretty thoroughly and it seems like the issue is isolated to me so it must be a blonde moment on my part.
