    Thanks

  • Works OK for me using the latest version.

    If possible post your .cap so we can see how you've set up your version and to see if it crashes on other machines.

  • Right click > Include Event Sheet > Layout 1 (or any other event sheet)

    Will include all the events for Layout 1 - If it's not Layout 1 simply select the Layout Event Sheet you want to include.

    Hope that helps

  • Here's a really basic one I created when I first found Construct.

    Will need the latest unstable version to open it

  • Looking back at your post newt I don't think this will improve your method or if it's exactly what you are trying to achieve but I'll post it anyway.

    Uses a 40mb of VRAM because I knew nothing about power of 2 textures when I made the original game. But the framerate doesn't seem to suffer for me and my computer is far from top of the line.

    Had to remake it as it was made in the last stable version, 0.99.62 or something like that, so it was quite broken

  • I always forget to check this thread.

    unfortunately, in a pc change the source code is gone

    and this was made when I was just learning to program

    so it will stay with the current bugs

    there is a user named Minor though, that says he's used it in every project of his, and that it causes him no problems

    he offered to post a tutorial or example of how to use it without problems, I think I'll take him up on that offer, because this is the most asked about plugin I've made, and I won't have time to rewrite it anytime soon

    edit: and thanks

    I can do this if you like lucid. Like I've said I've never had any problems but maybe I'm just doing anything too fancy with the plugin. Don't know how I'd do it maybe a layout for different things the plugin can do.

    Wow Lighting reply

    Yes i've seen Minor around... i did learn alot from his SkullKoBan (forum/viewtopic.php?t=6655) tutorial / .cap as it uses the SpriteFont plugin. I'll keep looking for further developments than... thanks again!

    Ah good to know someone found SkullKoBan useful

  • I did a similar thing for my old test game

    Subscribe to Construct videos now

    although my world was constantly rotating.

    I used normal platform movement for jumping and disabled moving left & right. And as catch22 said my world was broken up into chunks. The main green grass didn't rotate, the fences rotated, the background rotated and the clouds rotated all seperate of each other.

  • Nice to see you found a free alternative.

    Will sign up later and have a poke around see how it all works.

  • No it isn't Photoshopped I don't have it

    Best strategy is move straight down to the bottom of the screen and just move left and right.

    For a code you could do something simple like multiply the time survived by a large number:

    eg

    92 * 123456789 = 11358024588

  • 92

  • Best is currently 71.

    Reminds me of the Meteor Shower section of the Amiga game Deluxe Galaga.

  • Hi guys,

    you are right with the name, I shouldn't name it Scirra Games. But unfortunately that doesn't matter now, because ning changed their rules and from next month they will provide only service with subscription which I might consider to pay if there were more people involved, but at the moment we have 7 or 8 members so website will be closed soon.

    Cheers to everyone who signed up and I apologise Construct devs if my naming convention was inappropriate.

    cheers

    Thats a shame. I know I signed up but I haven't posted anything yet and looks like I won't have the oppertunity.

    Have you considered a free Blogger account or Wordpress. Instead of letting people posting their projects you could post about them yourself.

    I think this is the only part of the Construct Community that is lacking really. The Dev's are great and listen to bugs, suggestions and work really hard on new versions. The help provided by forum members is superb with multiple answers to questions and speedy replies.

    But the support for each others Construct Games/projects is lacking. Feedback on games is almost non-existant with most games getting only a few replies. I know you can't force people to rate, play, download and give feedback, but it wouldn't hurt.

    Sorry for the little rant - But as a Community I think we could improve here

  • I'm not the best for giving advice on the difficulty of these games as 9 times out of 10 I'm shockingly crap at them, and I'm shockingly crap at this too.

    So without the difficulty feedback.

      Game moves very smoothly. Easy to tell when I'm jumping. I like the weapons - The only time I felt I was doing well was when I had the Lazer Gun thingy. Hard to tell at the moment if I'd been hit - Maybe a small visual effect, sound effect when they are added - Flash red perhaps. I know theres a health bar but with jumping(badly), dodging (badly) and shooting (badly) I couldn't really tell when I was hit. Which then again was probably most of the time.

    Like I said probably not much help but I'm really bad at these types of games.

    Keep it up man. Hope you get some feedback from someone good at these type of shooters.

    But the latest unstable release is 0.9.91, is it an SVN release?

    No it's a special "Minor Only" release. Man it's great making a game in Construct for iphone, Android, Flash, Linux, Mac, Amstrad CPC, Nokia Ngage, Spectrum, 3DO and Atari 2600.

    Just kidding idiot me put the fullstop in the wrong place

    It was made in 0.99.9

  • But, see, that still has the same problem. Since all my buttons are directly next to each other, mousing from one to another still causes both buttons to stay highlighted.

    Ah you never mentioned the buttons where right next to each other, I always work to find the easiest way to do something, then if it causes a problem I change it. Since my buttons where never placed next to each other, my .cap worked perfectly

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1646976/buttons.cap

    This will work when they are next to each other, miles apart or overlapping.
