  • You can also use the forum search feature, it will show Arcade games.

  • I've hit another problem. I'm trying to run a Node-webkit game that someone's sent me, but every time I unzip it, the game.exe file disappears.

    Turning off my anti-virus seemed to fix this, but I can't be sure.

  • Xionor I don't quite have the know-how to do all that. I'll definitely reinstall C2 and if I encounter the issue again, remember everything that happened leading up to it.

  • Xionor OK, I'll try it. However I've always had this same antivirus and it would be worrying if it just deleted a critical C2 file.

    (Plus, it's a much bigger possibility that it's just a bug in C2)

  • shinkan nope. After exporting, the entire project.exe is gone.

    Xionor I very much doubt that disabling antivirus will fix it. Running as administrator didn't fix it.

    Due to the fact that export also doesn't work, and reinstalling fixes it, my theory is that some important node-webkit files have gone missing or been deleted.

  • I had the same issue in this topic.

    It was fixed by restarting my computer and reinstalling C2.

    However, I've just encountered

    this related issue again, which is a problem.

  • Interesting - if I set the angle of motion of the star to '90' on creation, the issue is fixed.

    You'd think it would be 90 already, right?

    Unfortunately I can't provide a capx as it happens only occasionally and it's not capx specific.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Set 'preview browser' to 'Node-Webkit'

    Observed result:

    Expected result:

    Node-webkit preview should run.

    I've looked in the background processes for nw processes but I don't see anything. The only way to get around this problem is to reinstall C2 after a restart. Restarting the computer without reinstalling C2 doesn't work.

  • Yep, this has been happening to me for a while now.

    Very frustrating.

  • Tokinsom Are you suggesting I manually save every object position and variable to a dictionary/webstorage every time I want to save the game? That's a whole lot of effort for no good reason.

    Why do you say the built-in save feature is not reliable? I've used it and it seems to work fine, apart from the aforementioned issue.

  • Read the beginner's tutorial, read the manual, have a look at he examples included within C2. Then just start making a simple game! Practice is the best way to learn. If you get stuck, search the forums!

    Best wishes in your C2 journey ;)

  • NotionGames aww, you got rid of the narration! I liked that ;)

  • Hey all!

    I've been implementing a checkpoint system using the save/load system. While the system is awesome, it's a bit problematic that it doesn't give a more fine-grained control over what's saved and what isn't.

    For example, I'm trying to have my background music go uninterrupted between respawns. However, the save/load action returns the audio to the same position that it was in when saving, which is awkward sounding and strange.

    The only way to get around this at the moment is to have an object with 'no save' behavior, and having instance variables on that object to keep track of playback time and then replaying the audio at the correct position upon respawn.

    This is just one example - I'm sure many of you will agree that a finer control of what is saved and what isn't would be very helpful.

    What do you think?

  • Weird! Could be a graphics driver issue. Obviously it's not logical that this is happening. Maybe it's forcing webGL when you're using effects, but reverting to canvas2D when it's not?

    There's an easy way to find out, just have a text object set to display the 'renderer' system expression.
