    Not a fan of the cloud/browser based engine (I like to feel I OWN what I bought, having it in my PC, being able to use whenever I want, even without internet), but far less interested in the subscription payment (for a similar reason than the listed before).

    Unfortunately, unless they change these decisions, not going to upgrade to Construct 3. And I don't even care about how great the software may potentially be, or how many great features it might have (if there is actually huge things still to be announced). These two things are enough for me jumping out of the boat. Hate cloud services, hate rental payment services, I never go for any of them no matter how great the software is.

    Just going to migrate to something else. Maybe Clickteam Fusion 3.

    Seems like Scirra is completely out of touch with its community.

  • Bump!

    Its almost working, but the new highscore resets the last, even if its less:

  • 1) TO make the score reset == System--on start of layout---score---set to 0

    2)Your in luck I made an official tutorial on local storage save and included a full game capx file, its simple

    After you try it let me know if you have any problems.

    Hey, tried your tutorial, it looks great!

    Worked almost perfectly. but now everytime the highscore is being replaced by the last score, not the highest! What should I add to fix that?

  • EDITED: Problem is now other, check post below!

  • I dunno what I'm missing.

    Two things I'm not been managing to do:

    • Make SCORE stop counting after game over without using time scale 0;
    • Make HighScore don't reset (I followed a guide from forums to make this one).

    Any hints please? Thanks guys!

  • You have to do several things:

    1. To change the name, set the name in the project-properties about, in Constrcut 2. That should change the name in the Task-Manger or in the window if you use the windows-mode.

    2. The Taskbar icon.

    That is not so easy. I can only say how to do it in Windows 7.

    Make a png of your icon you want in 128x128 pixel. Put it in Program Files\Construct 2\exporters\html5\icons and rename the the old icon_128.png in something like icon_128.old. Rename your icon png to icon_128.png.

    Now you have to restart Construct 2. After exporting your game, you should now have the new icon. You have to change it back to the old icon or every game you export with NWjs has this icon.

    You can also change in the package-win.json or package.json in Program Files\Construct 2\exporters\html5\nwjs (don't know exactly which one) the logo name with your icon png and put your png in the directory with the icon pngs.

    3. use resource hacker to change the icon of the game self.

    You do all of this at your own risk. Please don't blame me if Construct 2 doesn't work correctly anymore.

    Both worked perfectly! Thank you so much! Hope these kinds of things comes as app's features in the future!

    Sure, don't worry! Will backup everything. Ty for the tips.

    Check out the second post in this thread.

    Will test the icon one, thanks! The name solution won't work for me cause my game is on Steam (so its no a installer).

  • So, I have a game on Steam and some people complained that the icon is the default construct icon and the name of the game on window tasks is "New project".

    About the icon, I know there is only how with resource hacker, but that don't work often.

    About the name of project, I tried action "set window title" from NWJS but didn't work either.

    Any ideas on how to change it?

  • Hello, I made a game on Construct 2 and the game got on Steam.

    I never knew programming, and the other "easy" alternatives were not easy enough for me. Construct 2 at the other hand, was perfect. Loved since the beginning. It is not only flexible, but very fun to use. I had a blast making my game. And its amazing how easy to do is everything.

    If you do it this way using the greenworks plugin then you'll always have to rename the .exe manually. I'm not sure if that is what he means though.

    What I did was set the game name on the project properties to "nw" and then add an action to change the window title to my game's name, using the browser object.

    Its the latter, thank you very much! But I couldn't find that action. Will try to figure out, ty!

    EDIT: It was NWJS object, not Browser object, but I didn't knew there was an action for that, so you tips were pretty much spot on! Ty!

  • So, I managed to change the app icon with Resource Hacker, but is there any way to change the name of the nw.exe that appears on the task manager from "New Project" to the name of my game?

    Thanks in advance!

  • There a system action for "Trigger Once". It will cause your current event to run once while all of the other conditions are met.

    Worked like a charm, thank you!

  • I'm having a problem, I want to set a sound to play at my game when combo multiplier hit X, but the way I made the combo multiplier system, its like the game will play the sound forever when the variable is above X, and not only one time.

    I want to make it play once, like a trigger. And then stopping. Not mattering if the X value remains the same or even goes higher.

    What can I do?

    Is there a way to change the name of the executable from "New project" to the name of my game?
