  • Great idea! Thanks. I will try the pinning.

  • I just tried Edge and it runs much better there. I get about 55 FPS and 15% CPU load there and its just a little bit stuttering. But Chrome is unplayable in debugmode.

    But I will use the watch tab for important variables.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hi. I wanted to add some camera shake effects with "Scroll To" Behavior but I wondered if it is possible to shake the screen without enabling "Unbounded scrolling".

    With my current layout its not nice to have a big black border around and I use the Warp behavior for the player. Can you shake the camera with other actions or move the whole screen around?

    And is there an easy way to shake single objects instead of the whole screen, too?

  • Hi. I tried to add the Rotate Behavior and change the Angle every tick on a asteroid with Bullet behavior but then it circles around but I want it to fly in a straight line (and change after collision with solid object) but still rotate the sprite slowly so its not a static sprite. How can I do this?

  • Hi. Just downloaded the latest update but when I preview in Debug mode the default Inspect tab is very slow (30 FPS with 50% CPU Load) but when I switch to profile or watch tabs I get 60 FPS with 1% CPU (in chrome). I used a warpripple effect on 3 small objects and only 2 sprites for a small testing project. Why is it so slow on Inspect tab?

  • Would be great to have Achievements and other things from Xbox Live.

  • Hi. I want to add different templates for spawned enemies to have different shapes like V or a straight line or a circle in a sidescrolling game.

    I found a template that uses invisible spawn points for random enemy spawning but nothing for shapes yet.

    So the basic idea is to add spawnpoint_circle in a circle shape and then spawn enemies for all points and then add spawnpoint_line to the layout and select randomly between the different kinds of spawnpoints to start spawning your enemies in a shape. Or is there another/better way to do this?

  • I use AJAX to load Textfiles with the lang strings and tokenat loops to put the strings in an array or dictionary.

    Textfile looks like this:

    English.txt

    YESButton=Yes

    German.txt

    YESButton=Ja

    and then I use the data in the array/dictionary to SetText on Startup.

  • Hi. Ads are still not working and showing an error when I preview it.

    Same for the multiple languages in the store. But I got a few new hints how it might work and I will have to test them.

    I created a new topic for the ads here:

  • Hi! I exported my app from Construct 2 and installed the Ad SDK for Visual Studio but when I preview the app I get this error:

    APPHOST9623: "ms-appx://xxxxxxx-soft.xxxappname/Microsoft.Advertising.JavaScript/ad.js" konnte von der App aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht aufgelöst werden: DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.

    I tried to enable the ad SDK (was disabled by default) in Visual Studio but it shows the same error. Even when I move the "Show Banner" action on the second layout the error appears immediately when the preview in visual studio starts.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    PS: Is it possible to use the same banner sizes from PC/Tablet on Mobile since you cant add 2 PubCenter objects for mobile and pc/tablet (they have different banner sizes).

  • Thanks. I created the ad and entered the values and enabled the ad sdk in visual studio but its still not working and showing the error. I asked on the Microsoft help forums but they told me to ask in the scirra forums because its exported with Construct 2.

  • Hi. Is it possible to use the Microsoft tools for Windows apps to see detailed stats about your apps/games from the Windows store?

  • Microsoft Advertising SDK is installed and I entered the two values for the pubcenter plugin but it shows the "data not available" error. Any ideas what could be wrong?

    I moved the on start of layout > show banner to the second layout but immediately when I preview my app it shows the error:

    APPHOST9623: "ms-appx://xxx-xxxxxxxxxx/Microsoft.Advertising.JavaScript/ad.js" konnte von der App aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht aufgelöst werden: DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.

    And I checked again and you are right, you cant add a second PubCenter plugin. But Banner sizes are different for mobile so it would be really useful to be able to use more than one ad ID from pubcenter to show different ads on PC and mobile. Or can I just show the (wrong sized) pc banners on a phone?

  • anyone else tried this or is it possible to fix/add this Ashley?

    Thanks for the link. I created the banner in the dev Center. I will look again and try to find if "Microsoft Advertising libraries" are installed in Visual Studio.

  • Hi! Visual Studio seems to work now (just Ads dont show up) but I am still looking for any hints how to set the language to English and German and let the app appear with the proper localized name in the store. Any ideas how to do this for Win10 Universal apps?
