  • I think you may have built that with Construct r1.

    That release had a bug affecting the platform and physics behaviour.

    See the release notes for Construct r1.2.

    I tried your cap and after about a minute, i got a window error!

    Hope this helps.

  • Cheers, just deleted it.

  • Try this : you need a text object, and a global variable called 'tickssofar'

    + System: Always (every tick)

    -> System: Add 1 to global variable 'tickssofar'

    + System: Every 1000 milliseconds

    -> Textfps: Set text to "FPS: "& global('tickssofar')

    -> System: Set global variable 'tickssofar' to 0

    This is not my creation ( i can't remember who posted, so can't credit them)

    (should be on newts snippet widget)

  • I came across this website that claimed to have a portable version of construct :

    http://portableapps.com/node/27025

    Has anybody tried it, and does it work?

    I downloaded it, but i am a bit weary of running it incase it messes up my current 'legit' versions.

    I hope you guys at Scirra don't mind me posting this, im not trying to promote it.

  • heh

    I was hoping there would be a lot more interest, but to be honest, I'm having a hard time thinking of anything new to add.

    Great idea, i downloaded it but like you say there doesn't seem to be anybody adding stuff?

    It might be the internet connection thing putting people off.

    If this was a construct app that stored and retrieved stuff from say an ini file it would propably be the most downloaded thing.

  • You might be trying to get browsers to do something they're not designed to - there are many security measures for safe browsing that probably prevent you launching EXEs. Why not use Classic if that's essential?

    The fact that i can link to web pages, images and youtube vids is just what i needed anyway.

    Classic not an option for this because of the DirectX installation issue.

    Thanks for your help...keep the updates flowing.

  • Cool !

  • Does it work if you export an EXE and run that? I would not be surprised if browsers prevent you from launching EXEs (even the Construct editor) though, because it would be a security risk.

    Did you try the file:/// protocol as well?

    I uploaded the exe file to dropbox, when i clicked the link it just downloaded the file to my downloads file (in preview)

    Same thing when i exported the project and tried again.

    "Did you try the file:/// protocol as well?"

    Still trying to work this out, i downloaded the wiki page to study, bit of a brain block, but i will keep trying.

  • Ashley with regards to my earlier question about the browser object, i tried a couple of variations:

    Mouse-on left button click on object

    Browser "C:\Documents and Settings\brobs\My Documents\construct2 games\CV PROJECT\Open pics\photos\me.png"

    This allowed me to click on a sprite(thumbnail image) an it opened the larger image in a seperate window. (what i wanted)

    Mouse-on left button click on object

    Browser "C:\Documents and Settings\brobs\My Documents\construct2 games\CV PROJECT\Open pics\photos"

    This opened the following (list of files) in a seperate window:

    Mouse-on left button click on object

    Browser "C:\Documents and Settings\brobs\My Documents\construct2 games\CV PROJECT\Open pics\runexe\fullsquare2.cap"

    This downloaded the cap file named 'full square2' to my downloads folder, i was hoping to run it?

    Hope this makes sense.

  • Here's some 3d models that could be used as menu objects:

  • Ok Ashley, will give it a go, i wasn't sure what path i would need to include though?

    Im trying to create something i could put on a disc to include with a C.V.

  • "Browser plugin: can navigate to pages, get browser details, etc"

    2 questions regarding the Browser plugin

    1,During a game, Is it possible to use the browser object to open/display images that are on my hard drive, in game?

    i want to create a 'showreel' type app containing a collection of thumbnails that the user click's on to see the full image.

    2, Can i include the path to an exe. file.

    (I made an app that opens YOUTUBE vids and it works 100%)

    You guys must never sleep!

    thanks in advance.

  • The box will disappear if it is too far away from the camera? Thats Normal.

    Try this cap

  • For a 3Dbox:

    1, Goto the object properties.

    2, Change the 'z' depth setting (the one underneath 'Depth')

    3, Enter negative settings to move the object away from the camera.
