  • Seeing your badge next to you profile picture, you already made the purchase. You won't regret it, happy developing. Just be informed about the possible difficulties in time and test often (don't let the problems present themselves only at release).

  • I think this is what you are looking for: https://www.scirra.com/store/construct2 ... ugins-1662

  • I'm not 100% sure on this, but it would be logical that the resize option resizes the image used by that sprite. You can easily test this: open a 3000x3000 PNG file and resize it to 300x300, then save your project. Does the capx file size reflects the 3000x3000 sized image or the resized one?

  • Can you upload your exported project az a .zip archive? If you could post your capx as well, we could look into it.

  • 1) How is support these days? Still going well enough? On that note, is C2 stable?

    2) Is there any (speculated or otherwise) ETA on Construct 3?

    3) Are there are must-have premium addons/behaviours/etc. that I should look at for a side-scrolling platfomer?

    4) How is Steam integration on C2?

    5) How's performance looking for standalone(exe) builds? Are we still at the mercy of Chrome's wonky WebGL support?

    6) Anything else you can think of?

    Welcome back. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    1 - It's great as usual. Scirra answers the Community's questions on the forum like before. The only thing is that C2 don't get new features and has a slower release cycle due to the development of C3.

    2 - No, but we can expect some news in 2017.

    3 and 4 - The Experimental Greenworks Plugin is quite unreliable as far as I can tell, but there's MadSpy's premium Steam plugin that works great from what I hear:

    5 - Performance is not an issue on desktop platforms if you develop your game with optimizations in mind (just like you would in every engine). Keep this thread saved in your bookmarks if you want to target desktop: updated-22-12-2016-the-big-nw-js-roundup-tips-amp-tricks_t184449

    6 - C2 was awesome when you left for your 3D project and C2 is still awesome. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> Happy developing!

  • Try a clean install with your GPU drivers as well. This tool can help you a lot: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/dis ... nload.html

    I use C2 with a 3rd generation Intel GPU and it works just fine.

  • The dropdown for animation property has been done for C3.

    Thank you.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • > I think he is talking about the stored localstorage values. If you update your APK (install a new version of your game on your phone) the localstorage gets reset. I'd be interested in the answer as well.

    >

    That doesn't happen to me... But if it does happen to you, that is something very serious and needs to be reported to Ashley.

    I had this issue, but I haven't exported and built an APK with XDK in a while so I don't know if the issue is still there. But it's good news if you don't have this problem. Are you using XDK?

    Look ! Currently I am busy with my last 2 years at school. After that I am free. In June 2018 I will start working on my big games. I made small games this year that I am not going to publish. Just learning construct 2 by making them !

    So what you suggest buy license for construct 2 at 2019 or Wait for construct 3 ?!

    Construct 3 will take more than 4 years from now I guess !

    Maybe it will be in 2021 and it may contains bugs and problems at beginning !

    Shall I buy stable construct 2 licnese ?!

    Since you are asking for a future purchase advice (2 years from now), my sincere answer is: I don't know. Probably till then Scirra rains us with information so you can make your decisions accordingly. However, if you would ask should you buy C2 now or wait for C3, then I'd say go and buy C2, since we don't have any information on the latter.

  • Or, we could have both. The ability to type in the animation name and the scrollable list under the input field.

    Construct 3 !!!

    I dont think there are a lot of changes I dont know why !

    Why they dont just make a big update for construct 2 !

    I dont want to be dispersed !

    Because the C2 editor has some technical limitations and Scirra does a whole rewrite for the complete editor. It will allow them and the community to implement advanced functions.

    If I bought construct 2 license and construct 3 released. Shall I buy a new license again !!

    You'll have to buy a license for C3 as well, but as an existing C2 owner you'll get a discount. We don't have any more details now.

  • The question is, how efficient a dropdown list would be if you have over 100 animations for an object? If the user could set an option in the editor's preferences to use a dropdown menu there or not, then +1 for this request.

  • glerikud Oh damn, yeah I'll fix that right now, thanks for warning me.

    The BumpMapping Effect doesn't have any link because it's directly provided by Construct 2. You have nothing to add.

    Thank you! It was my mistake on the BumpMapping Effect then.

  • Then I'd recommend this tutorial:

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/237/ho ... -web-fonts

  • Everything that I've tried so far in Properties -> Fonts causes Construct2 to tell me that "the font is not supported, for technical reasons."

    So rather than looking for a needle in a haystack I'm looking for someone to tell me if they have had any luck with any of the fonts in the list.

    Where do you want to use it? In your game or as a display font for the editor?
