  • Hi,

    I am looking for some help with the Spriter plugin. I have followed the instructions on how to install it in to the correct folder. I have dragged in to my project a .SCML file and I've made a layout and event sheet for my Spriter objects but I can't seem to get them to show in the Construct 2 editor or when I run my game.

  • Hi,

    I wasn't too sure where to post this.

    I am using the Spriter plugin I found and downloaded it from here https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75748&start=0

    For some reason I cannot get my sprite to show though. I can't see it in the Construct 2 editor and I can't see it when I run my game either. I followed the instructions on saving it in Spriter using the other save options and made a new event sheet and layout to place my Spriter objects, I have dragged and dropped the .SCML file on to my Spriter layout too. The only event I see in the event sheet is an 'Initialize' event.

  • Hi Guys,

    I am looking for some help on how to create a login and register system to work with my Construct 2 mobile application. This system will be exactly like most modern apps on your mobile today that require you to signup and login.

    I have webspace and the ability to setup a mySQL database. The database for now will hold email, full name and password.

    I have no idea about AJAX and ASP.NET, I do however have very basic knowledge of PHP scripting.

    I am looking for users to be able to sign up with the following information, full name, email address and a password. I then want a unique token sent to the email address they signed up with to confirm it is a legitimate and working email address. Once the email address is verified via a unique token that is emailed to them I then want the ability for a 'back end' system where an admin can log in and be able to see all the users that have signed up and have the ability to click on a name to either ban/kick a user.

    If I could get any information on where to start with this, I have no idea how to program in ASP.NET, I did read somewhere that there are a bunch of supported languages for ASP.NET (JavaScript, C#, Visual Basic), I am happy to put the time in to learn this but just want to know where to start as most of the tutorials I've seen only cover this kind of subject for a website, I am looking to do this specifically for mobile devices.

  • I have been looking at the AJAX object as well and I am wondering if there is any good tutorials or even anything I can read up on about how to work on a login/signup system for my mobile application.

    I have web space and all the tools in my CPanel for mySQL database etc.

  • Try Construct 3

  • The safezone option does seem to work nicely. I've found a tutorial about it here from another Construct 2 user scirra.com/tutorials/1126/m ... le-devices.

    Looking at his screen shots even on the big screen devices it still looks great. My only issue is for an app that needs specific sizes, viewport calculations and anchoring seems to be the way to go but I would have no idea about how to do all that, I am still relatively new to Construct 2 and mobile development.

  • Thanks for the info — These options seem very straight forward but what if you run in to the problem of let's say having a top menu bar with an icon in that menu bar in the near left hand corner of the screen. If I place that icon in the near left hand corner then it will show on the big screen devices but not on the small screen devices. How do you work around that?

    Thanks again for the articles too!

  • Ok, I will design my graphics at a 1280 x 720 resolution and use those settings.

  • —

    When you say 16:9 and fullscreen do you mean any 16:9 aspect ratio like 1280 x 720?

    The scale outer method, does this show the hidden parts of the canvas, would I need some sort of 'safe zone' on my layout and I could center most of my objects within that safe zone?

    The only thing slowing me down on this right now is what canvas size I need, and what size canvas I should be creating my graphics at.

  • Well I have bought the Ultimate Login System from the Construct 2 Marketplace. I am currently designing my UI in Photoshop but I was really struggling on a base resolution to start creating my UI and also a base resolution to start my project at that will be suitable for all mobile devices.

    I'll post back here though as I progress

    I'll probably post back to ask for some help too haha

    I have started my app project at 1280 x 720 in portrait mode. I am also setting my canvas size in Photoshop at this resolution as well so I can start creating my graphics.

  • I am looking to make a property app for mobile devices (pretty much a real estate app) can this be done with Construct 2?

    If so, how would I manage my UI elements to support multiple screen devices?

    My UI has all the generic things, hamburger menu, snackbar for bread crumb trail, etc. I want elements to animate like expanding and sliding menus. I haven't developed something like this in Construct 2 before as most of my projects have been for games. Just wondering if anyone has used Construct 2 for this kind of thing and what would be your approach to support multiple screen resolutions for mobile devices, would you design your UI at a set resolution?

    Thanks.

    Hi

    Where are you struggling ? On what part ? Did you get to setup the Database from the setup.php file ?

    Hey,

    All I have done so far is only uploaded the files inside the PHP folder to my server (not to sure if I have done that right either, I'm new at this). Sorry to be a pain. I've uploaded the files to my server using 'File Manager' in my cPanel. The files/folders are in the home directory, I've made a folder for 'admin' and put all the admin files inside there along with a folder for the 'theme' with all the theme folders inside there. I've made a 'lib' folder too and put all the files that was in the lib folder in there.

    I can PM you so you can get access and talk me through it? I have no clue what I am doing even following your instructions.

    Thanks.

  • I've run into a small problem. The modulo operator doesn't seem to be working for me. I am comparing two values but my first value is X % (128/Y) = 0, I am still getting back a remainder which is giving me a decimal number and not a whole number. My order of operations is done using () so the division is done first and then the modulo which should bring me back a whole number.

    I am trying to use this to subtract 1 from a global value which is my gap length between my tiles.

    Here is a shot of the event sheet: http://i.imgur.com/pOkAedJ.png

    Here is the value of gap length in the debugger, I am not getting any gaps within my tiles either (my mouse cursor is over the gap length value box): http://i.imgur.com/cickRyD.png

    Anyone see where the problem is?

  • Here is my progress after learning about the For Each loop (big thanks to Magistross)

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cipvzeay0a8oef/2016-03-18_00-04-29.mp4?dl=0

    I am now going to be adding the various heights to the floor, once that has been done I will be working on a 'tile sorter' which will check neighboring tiles and generate the correct tiles next to each other.

    I'm feeling very pleased with the results so far though and feel like some solid progress has been made. I am wondering if I continue to use the For Each loop for my tile checks this would work on a 'per tile' basis?
