  • Multiselection is a "nice to have" imo, but not crucial.

    Well, if single selection is all you need, then cut-paste already supports that.

    What about a scroll area on the left side of the event sheet view that scrolls JUST like it does when using touch, but then the rest of the event sheet view is treated as a mouse with click/select/drag?

    I don't think this is a sensible UI pattern. I don't recall ever seeing any other app doing something like that. I've only ever seen other examples that were based on switching modes, so you only do one thing at a time, not both with magic invisible areas.

    I like to think this would be relatively straightforward to implement as the "touch scroll" code already exists in c3, as well as how mouse behaves within the event sheet view.

    UI is extremely complicated and hard work to implement. If it looks and feels easy, it's because a huge amount of work has gone in to getting it to that point.

  • I'm afraid Apple don't currently support this. Hopefully they will add support for it in future.

  • Try minifying a project with just one addon at a time and see which one causes it to fail.

    If it's a built-in addon, please file an issue following the guidelines. If it's a third-party addon, you'll need to report it to the addon developer.

  • All it does is remove duplicate images (with identical pixel data) from sprite sheets. It doesn't have anything to do with how the images themselves are compressed.

  • Your screenshot already shows me asking, and a Google developer saying it's not possible.

  • It's really hard to design these features for mobile - what you're talking about there also involves supporting multiple selections, so we basically have to reinvent a whole new mobile-specific UI for that, since we can't rely on holding keys (as is used for multiple selection) or drag-and-drop alone (which on mobile is used for scrolling). I guess we'd have to have a special dedicated tool to first enter a multiple selection mode with all other actions disabled - but still some way to scroll in case you want to select off-screen things - and then follow up with a drag and drop operation to indicate where the multiple selection should go. It's a real headache to design, complicated to implement, and probably time consuming too. As with any feature requests I'd advise posting to the suggestion platform or voting on an existing suggestion if there is one, since as ever we have to balance this with hundreds of other feature requests.

  • I tried a debug APK build and it completed successfully. So it seems most likely it is an issue with your Internet connection. I rebooted the build server too in case that helps for some reason.

  • Try Construct 3

  • AFAIK it can currently only be manually configured, so we can't automatically set the option. If a way to automatically set it is supported, we can add that.

  • You can already reorder events on mobile with cut and paste.

  • I can't remember the limit off the top of my head, but 30mb is definitely fine.

    I can only really guess from the information provided - if you share your project I can give it a go myself.

  • How big is the project file?

    Google Play limits the size of apps to 150mb (IIRC), so your project once exported will need to be under that size anyway.

    If you have a problem with your Internet connection or the maximum project size, you can try building it locally with the Cordova CLI.

  • If it only transfers to 20% and then fails, it sounds like a problem with your Internet connection cutting it off.

    DO NOT use Google Translate or any other kind of machine translation while translating Construct. These translations are unsuitable for software. They are poor quality, formatted incorrectly, consistently violate our guidelines, and are often nonsensical. All translations are professionally reviewed when completed and any use of machine translation will cause the translation to fail review, also delaying its completion. Any use of machine translation at all may disqualify you from receiving any translation reward.

  • A recent update to the Croatian (hr-HR) translation has introduced 140 problems. The list is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ai4x6wvo72h5g86/hr-HR-2021-01-05.txt?dl=0

    They will all need to be corrected before the in-progress translation in the Construct editor is updated again.

    The translation currently has many systematic mistakes characteristic of using machine translation. Please do not use machine translation, like Google Translate, when translating Construct 3. It is an inappropriate tool that results in poor quality translations. These translations will then fail later quality reviews and have to be re-done, resulting in wasted effort and taking longer before the translation is ready. Translation rewards will NOT be issued for use of machine translation.

    Please note that if the problems are not corrected by January 18th, all translations with problems will be mass-deleted on that date.

  • I think we need to update the editor JavaScript parser to support the new syntax features. I'll look in to doing that soon.
