  • Tom maybe you should open that feature to be user-accessible, otherwise you might need another fulltime employee to handle all the requests

  • [quote:j8kjftcs]Are you guys sure? I have 17 days in a row.

    Trust me, I know how this works Before the change that introduced the error I was at 530.

  • frn2000 Not yet, but since it is documented now, I'm sure it will be fixed sooner or later. These guys are typically quite busy and there are issues that are a bit more pressing.

  • Cocoonjs just doesn't support letterbox modes. That has been a long standing limitation and annoyance.

  • On the user profiles there is this counter that says how many days you were online consecutively (also badges depend on this).

    Since recently, the counter only goes up to 1 and then resets. I believe this behaviour started when we moved to the new database, up until then everything was fine.

    This is of course only mildly annoying and does not need immediate action.

  • megatronx The problem with 3rd party plugins is that you never know when the author is losing his motivation and they get abandoned. I got burned badly by this, so I won't use anything but factory plugins (and my own) for commercial projects.

  • It's a showstopper, unfortunately. I have content targeted for a preschool audience, I need filters, I can't have tits popping up.

    Ashley I'd really prefer you to lay low on other features and implement this yourself, instead of the current solution.

  • A commercial organisation in the licensing sense is a legal entity independent of the entrepreneur, in your case they are called a "B.V." I believe, (Ltd. in the UK, GmbH in Germany for example).

    If you are a self employed one-man operation without a limited liability corporate body, the personal edition is fine, until you cross the magic EUR 5000 line.

  • Either separate sprites like spacedoubt suggested or if that is impractical for your artwork you could use invisible collision objects, and make only one of them reflect the ray.

  • — it's a matter of perspective I guess. Technically, NW exports run "on linux". They work perfectly well on Redhat, Centos, Scientific Linux, basically where all the corporate users sit.

    Using it for games, where people use Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Mandriva etc. probably isn't the main focus of NW in the first place, that's why they have gotten away with it so far. But their forums are quite full of angry rants, for that matter.

    As to Scirra.. the main argument pro NW was probably the ease of use and good performance - on windows.

    Without accusing anyone of anything, I'd go as far as saying the linux exports probably were not tested too extensively when deciding to go for NW as a wrapper.

  • No, everyone else has the same problem with NW. It's not a C2 implementation issue.

    *Edit: Don't worry, I'm not the kind of guy to let them off the hook easily. But this time it really isn't their fault.

  • The problem is, that Scirra can't really fix this. The node-webkit dude must do this.

    Maybe Scirra could leverage their userbase a bit. "We have 1.5 million angry users. It would be a shame if they knew where you live." Go all Don Corleone on him

  • I have managed to get my C2 nodewebkit exported game to run on modern distros (tested against Arch at the moment).

    It is however not something you would do with stuff that actually gets deployed to customers.

    The problem with nodewebkit right now is, that it is built against a rather old set of libs, the main culprit being libudev. Unlike windows, most linux distros do not allow system-wide installs of "older" libs, you just have the one you got along with the distro or from the repository. Typically this isn't a problem, since all open source software that ships with a distro is built against their current set of libs.

    The versions of the lib in question do not differ that much, so it seems.. so you can run a binary built against the older with the newer lib, if you

    1. Make a symlink on your specific system from the new libname to the old one (not recommended, and cannot be imposed upon customers) or:

    2. Make a local symlink in the users homedir to not taint the whole system and use the ld_preload mechanism in a wrapper script to enforce the local symlink being used for the lib (not recommended either), or:

    3. Patch the nw generated binary with "sed", to look for the other name, as explained here in the last paragraph: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webki ... budev.so.0

    This is a very dirty hack though. All kinds of stuff can go wrong with that, even though it seemingly works (set off virus scanners, for example). I used the last method to get my stuff running.

    In the end: Nodewebkit needs to get their shit together and support modern distros. Until then, you cannot in good conscience deploy to Linux for end customers, you will get swamped with support whining.

  • Have a great holiday.

  • [quote:191nrimi]I'm using ubuntu 14.04 .... Now What do I do?

    Until the makers of node-webkit decide to support more modern distros.. nothing.
