    Yep, I'm happy to admit it's been a big learning process! Lots has been going on behind the scenes.

    I am excited.

  • You need to install a browser on your server.

    If you use a GUI server, then you can just get a normal browser, but if you run a command line server, then you need a headless browser.

    How do you operate your server? By command line or some remote desktop kind of thing?

    For headless ones:

    Go to the links I put on the first page:

    Pick a browser and go to the website for that project and look over the documentation.

    I am assuming you know how to install and use a normal browser.

  • Well, after many days trying to get a free server that runs exe files (it's impossible), I've finally decided to export the chat as a html and run it on the server. But, whenever I log out from the server, the host also logs out. I thought it would keep running as a permanent host

    I don't get it, what's the difference between running the chat on a dedicated server and running it on a browser tab, if I have to keep both the server and the browser tab opened in order to keep the chat running? I thought there was a way to keep a permanent host using dedicated servers...

    You need two server-side programs running. One is the webserver which runs your C2 application and one is the browser on the server which talks to the webserver (over the localhost, presumably) and acts as the 'host' client.

    You are beginning to see why I consider dedicated servers 'normal' though.

  • Hello all,

    Well, I'm wanting to be able to "slide" the object left or right -> dismiss object. On click once object will rotate. Slide up it will go up. I got it made so the object can be "slide" up but I could only choose horizontal or vertical or both.

    Hopefully I made it a bit more clear.

    You can just change the lock axis on the Drag and Drop behavior on the fly perhaps?

  • Are you using Scirra's signalling server?

  • Look at rexrainbow 's Board and SquareTx plugins. He has an isometric mode for square tx.

  • How can you drag both vertical and horizontal at the same time without going diagonal?

  • with iFrames

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • no

  • Ive had some issues with listbox too. It displays a little different on every browser, because it draws from the OS.

    Just use a Text object, you have a lot more control over those in C2. Or you have to write a custom css file.

  • Is your image url good? Make sure you can load your image in a browser from your url before you try to load it in C2.

    Also, make sure you have permissions to use the image. C2 will not load images that are marked in the metadata as not for public use.

  • And why does C2 use peer-to-peer? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing">

    Because that was the way Scirra designed it. If I were a betting man, I would wager that C3 will offer more dedicated server support.

    Ok, thank you. I am going to do research on these topics and I hope to be able to implement a browser emulator on my web server. Also thank you for all the information and the tutorials, they are very helpful. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    Look for open source solutions first. Like:

  • gumshoe2029 Thx a lot for your new answer

    As I said earlier, the free Scirra's signaling server is unstable (probably because there are now too many construct 2 users and it can't always handle it) and sometimes it doesn't work for a long time :-/ (I had some issues when testing tutorial projects, etc... and I read some forum threads where others construct 2 users were having issues with their multiplayer games because of that too) so I don't want to depend on it ^^

    It's a very important project to me and I really need it to work at all times, so I'm absolutely sure I need my own signalling server to do that.

    My primary goal is not to avoid backend programming at all costs. I'm really glad Construct 2 allows me to do that most of the time so I can focus on gamedesign, etc... but if I have to code a few things to get what I need I will, I just need to learn how to do it ^^

    I'm going to take you up on that offer, I hope your tutorials will help me ^^

    For starters, look up tutorials on setting up "EC2" for AWS. I would recommend Linux, but you can use a Windows server if you really want.

    The truth is that it is a bit sad and disheartening, not having a simple news of Construct 3

    Yea :-/
