  • Yeah it's a bit more involved I guess but a lot of us are using the XDK. Trying with a new project is useful, I've solved lots of issues that way.

  • Hello,

    I've installed the R198 version and discovered something strange with my positioned sounds, like if there was a dopller effect on them. (but I don't use that effect)

    And I see in the patch note that the doppler effect is no longer supported and has been removed.

    So I'm wondering what is going on with my sounds. Is that a bug ?

    Anyone noticed that too ?

    EDIT : Here is a video to show the effect on the saw sound.

    After upgrading C2 I also got bad results with positional audio in an existing project (delay, distortion), so I changed them all to non-positional.. lucky for my project it's not a big deal.

    edit: this was in preview in Chrome, but it previously worked fine in preview

  • If you want people to answer more quickly, you should post the capx, or create a minimal example capx that shows the problem.

  • Sorry for a rant.

    But what I really dislike about C2 is the text object editor. Why are we limited to the text field? It is extremely inconvenient. Adding/editing even a paragraph of text takes longer time than it should

    Yes it is inconvenient. For large blocks of text I do a 'set text' on start of layout. Then you get a text edit box that sizes to the amount of text you enter, and you can see all your text at once in the event sheet. I'm sure the new C3 editor will address this

  • Just keep a counter variable with initial value 1, and loop through the array keeping track of the 'current' and 'previous' array values. If current=previous, add 1 to the counter otherwise stop the loop. You should have your count.

    BTW your descriptions are a little ambiguous but I'm going with what I think you're asking for.

  • I haven't tried it, but none of Name, Product, UserAgent or Vendor (or a combination) will do the job?

  • My question is how will you do TDD when you don't directly write code in C2? Also TDD does not replace manual testing.

  • I tested before and after the XDK update... same result :/ weird

  • So if I made a .capx file of my project, you could see what I was doing wrong?

    Possibly Then we can open it in C2 and see your events. But without it we cannot. If you don't want to reveal a possibly advanced project, strip out everything but what causes the issue or make a separate one.

  • Why is it giving you trouble? I'd think that anything you do yourself to implement overlapping checks would be inferior to what C2 does internally.

  • nimos100 thanks for the thoughts. I'd say my PC is pretty stable in general, I don't really notice other apps freezing but then it's C2 I use the most. I have an SSD (few years old now) as my Windows drive, and C2 is installed on it, but I've no reason to think that's the issue. I'll keep note if other apps freeze.

    Colludium that's a bit to ponder. I guess I do use a few 3rd party plugins.. I generally work on 2-3 apps that are a few months old, so hard to say if it happens with 'new' apps. The only new stuff I do is for examples on the forum and they are just minutes at a time (although from memory it has happened with those as well). On this particular app I have backups off at the moment but previously they would save to a NAS. No I don't save Word docs in the project folder.

    One thing I didn't mention is that I work off caproj not capx, which I'm guessing is the norm.

  • Is anyone else having issues with C2 freezing up? I mean completely hang, where it needs to be killed.

    Happens to me at least once a day, often 2-3 times, and just happened twice in the last half hour. It's happened across many versions (months), stable and beta alike, and naturally causes me to lose work and the hassle of recovering from autosave. I have auto save set at 20 min but apparently it didn't autosave at all this morning, so tough luck there (I checked, it is enabled).

    I can't report this as a bug because I there's no capx to demonstrate it.

    I just want to know if I'm the only one, then I can focus on my system.

    PC is a desktop, i7 3770, 16Gb, GTX770, Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit, SSD drive

    thanks

  • What tutorial would I have to reference? What is the capx?

    If you choose File menu-> Save as single file it creates a single *.capx file of your project that people can easily download and examine.

    Regarding tutorials, etc. you must check out the platformer sample(s) if you haven't already. You should get some hints about animations. Also search Tutorials and there should be plenty, I don't have a particular one in mind.

  • So does anyone have orientation successfully locked in their apps? It still does not work for me.

    I tried cranberrygame's screenOrientation plugin but it breaks all touch events so I removed it.

    I have full screen set in both XDK and C2.

    I'm trying to lock my app in portrait.

    Thanks.

  • I just has this exact problem, I'm going to try the net.yoik.cordova.plugins.screenorientation plugin

    Never had this problem on Ejecta!

    EDIT: OK, cranberry's screen orientation lock works fine. Nice.

    See here:

    The cranberrygame plugin seems broken now. It disables all touch events in my app on iOS. Is it still working for you?
