  • Hey Squid,

    Glad you liked the idea... I thought it was a good idea too tbh :)

    I've haven't actually done anything with this project since my last post but I'd still like to finish it off.

    Next few weeks I'll be working away on the night shifts again so It'll be a good opportunity to pass the time and get this finished.

    I'll update this thread with any developments.

    Oh and re. the Web-Node kit I'm not sure you can do this via the Construct export function but if you can somehow specify command line arguments to the compiled .exe then I'm sure it can be done. This is as a screensaver file (.scr) is solely an executable that's passed a flag (ie. /S = screensaver mode /C = config button menu /p = preview mode)

    Still I'll have a ganders at that too if I get time..

    Cheers,

    Daniel

  • Hello to anyone watching this thread,

    To identify if your Construct2 project is running in the 'ScreenSaver' Mode you can simply append the Project URL (inside the ScreenSaver configuration) with HTTP query string and then evaluate that in your project.

    For example.. in the configuration form of the screensaver set the URL to something like;

    example.com/index.html

    (the ?ThisIsInScreenSaverMode being the important bit)

    And then within your Construct2 project evaluate the Browser expression > Query String = "?ThisIsInScreenSaverMode"

    Greg I hope this helps you :)

    Also I've been working on a number of other features such as enable GPU Rendering, the IE emulation mode (for compatibility) etc so hopefully will have an updated version soon for (at least Greg) to play with :)

    Cheers,

    Daniel

  • Hi Greg,

    Yes I think it should be possible...

    I just quickly tried passing a custom User-Agent String with URL in my code which would have been ideal but it seems it's really inconsistent - even me visiting whatsmyuseragent.com in Chrome 5 times returns different values?! :S

    Still let me have a think and I'll see what I can come up with.

    Cheers,

    Daniel

    Word!

  • Hello all,

    Well I wanted make a screen saver capable of rendering my Construct2 creations so I thought I'd give C# a dabble!

    I've kinda got the result I was looking for, it's a bit slow and the blasted mouse events aren't working but hey, if someone will make use of it maybe I'll take another look but atm it is provided very much 'AS IS' !

    Link;

    dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5480026/ScreenSaver.zip

    Instructions;

    *Configure the screensaver with the URL to your hosted project

    *The Screensaver starts in Demo Mode (ie. key and mouse(not working) events exit the application - As a screensaver should.

    *Toggle CapsLock on to 'Interact' with your project (ie. not exit on key/mouse etc etc blah blah)

    Hope someone makes use of it.. I might post up the .NET solution if anyone wants to make it better.

    Cheers,

    Daniel

    Set your Sprite Opacity to 0

    Event > Cursor is over "sprite"

    Action > Sprite Opacity = "100"

  • My application also crashes on Windows 8 using this function however you can get around the unsightly crash by setting your executable to Windows 7 (or lower) compatibility mode.

    If your planning to distribute your 'desktop' program to Windows 8 clients you could always create a SHIM for the Windows application compatibility database to handle this too.
