  • I always save my C3 files to dropbox. Today I try to open the project I am working since time ago and after a short time loading the file this messague appears:

    Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project.

    Yes, the file is c3p. I try to download the file from dropbox to open from file but I get the same messague.

    Is something I can do?

    How is possible a plugin developed by a 3rd person is performing better than the native "mobile advert"? (now I know how to implementing and its ok, but in the past gives me a lot of headhache. For me is good because I use apksigner, but I can understand the compleints of other users that uses other methods.)

    Maybe scirra should give a salary to this developer or buy his plugin. By the way, give also a salary to rex and make all his plugins official.

    I had problems to implement "mobile advert" in the past. But now i´m showing ads.

    With the current parameters I think when you try on mobile, this is going to explote!

    -fps--->60 its ok, but in case it goes down, try to build your program using "delta time", this maka framerate independence.

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/67/delta-time-and-framerate-independence

    -cpu utilisation--->60 is too much,...

    -image memory--->ok

    -collisions--->thats a lot. you have to deactivate collisions when no using and create groups on your events and deactivate when no using. For this use the profile tab of the debbuger to check with groups are overloading your project.

    I hope this helps.

    Advice: use the search funtion of the forum, or even googling. This topic has appear many times

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Anyone know if is there any way to stop or pause the Audio.CurrentTime?

    Time scale doesn´t affect to Audio.CurrentTime

  • 89€/per year to use C3 and the building service is not crazy price, considering you can take that money back with your creations. Plus you will be supporting the company that develop the sofware you use.

  • I have tried on Sansung S6. I can see the sprite just a little little bit jumping.

    In my apps I try to avoid heavy behaviors in big sprites. I say heavy because bullet have to recalculate and draw position every tick.

    Is not an option make the sprite 126x126 and resize in the layout view?

  • Wai

    Bullet behavior use delta time to move, so you dont need to adjust it on events.

    Maybe a sprite of 250x250 is too big to move at that speed. On mobile when I use bullet behavior is with small sized objects. Try to do it 128x128, if not go smaller.

  • garyh

    Here is the download link of my c3 plugins.

    AMAZING! This improve C3 a lot. Thanks

  • Bootfit

    Is good if the instersidial appear on player death but randomly. If the player knows when the intersidial is going to appear he never going to click it.

  • I can no believe it!. After more that one month trying to show ads on my app I have achieve it.

    — Thanks for point me in the good direction.

    First I tryed your method, but I got a problem with the jarsigner.

    So what I did was next:

    1.Export with minify script unchecked to Unsigned Release APK with minimun version 5.0

    2.Copy the generated APK to the folder where you have installed "apksigner.bat"----> android studio>sdk<build-tools<27.0.3 (this is my last version installed, also you dont need to have installed Android Studio but you will need the build-tools, in this case apksigner.bat)

    3.Open cmd and go to this folder and execute:

    apksigner sign --ks (the name of your certificate file, it could be .jks or .keystore, both of them works in this command).jks --out (choose a name for your signed apk).apk (the current name of your apk file).apk

    You have to introduce your 2 pass and in less than 10 seconds a signed APK is generated on the same folder.

    This works for me and hope works for you. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Another useful thing that I have learned today (if you have Android Studio is going to be useful):

    Sometimes when I have my APK I want to test in my device. So I upload to dropbox and from there I download to my device. But sometimes I get a message when I trying to install :"Unable to install the apk file" (even with the developer mode on in the device and deleting previus versions of the app).

    So, there is a command that makes very easy and fast to install the apk on your device:

    1.Enable developer mode on your phone

    2.Go to androidstudio<sdk<platform-tools and execute adb devices to check if your device is connected. You will get a device number here.

    3.Copy your signed apk to this folder.

    4.Execute adb -s (your device number) install (the name of your signed apk).apk

    In less than 10 secons your apk is intalled on your device. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

  • I would like to try but the build server is down. As soon as I can I will try your method.

    Really apreciate your advice. Thanks !
