  • Bertconstanty - It doesn't work with the C3 runtime yet. Unfortunately, I don't have an ETA for when I can work on the C3 runtime version yet.

    I'm currently thinking about switching to Construct 3 (+new runtime).

    Spriter is a must for my bigger projects and I would really appreciate if you guys could work together with Scirra in order to get something "more official" going in the future. Maybe Scirra might be interested in doing some sort of marketing campaign, promoting both Spriter 2 and official support within Construct 3 (like in the old Construct 2 days).

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Hi Ashley.

    Just wanted to ask if you could add "restart construct 3" buttons to dialogs that ask for it? In normal browsers this isn't necessary, since you can just reload the page but in NW.js, we're pretty much forced to restart the application as a whole.

    NW.js has a built-in restart feature which you can execute by using (can be tested in the console):

    chrome.runtime.reload()

    Would very much appreciate this feature in future releases, cheers!

  • Is there any chance that you (or Armaldio) will be updating this addon to work with minify option in C2? :)

    Armaldio considers this addon to be finished (initial goal was to have a functioning C2 release only). Sorry probably won't be updated anytime soon.

  • Here is the idea: construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-605

    (Anyone interested in this can feel free to invest their spare votes.)

  • If you say that it's possible, I guess it might be worth opening up a request in the ideas website. This isn't really a high priority feature for me so I'd rather wait instead of calling for help from 3rd parties for now.

    Thx for the info!

  • Hi!

    I've been wondering if it would be possible to add native color picker support into Construct 3? I couldn't find that setting inside the existing form plugins so I assume it's not a thing yet.

    Construct 3 itself already uses it and it seems to work in pretty much every browser, on desktop and mobile. Just in case, this color picker is what I mean. I'd imagine if it would be possible to implement it, it would come with "On color picked", "On color picker closed" and expressions in order to fetch the actual results in RGB or something like that.

    Anyway I though it might be useful for games, which offer things like changing the outfit color of the main character and similar.

    I'm not aware of any downsides but if there is a reason against using it, feel free to post it here.

  • Problem description

    Construct 2 crashes when double-clicking the edit button for Sprites. (Multiple image editor instances are trying to be opened at once.)

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Create Empty Project

    2. Add a Sprite object (close image editor)

    3. Double-Click on "edit" found in the Sprite properties under "Animations"

    4. Notice an error message followed by an appcrash

    Observed result

    Construct 2 gets confused when double or "spam" clicking on an edit button that opens the image editor.

    Expected result

    Since double-clicking is pretty much a habit for most Windows users, Construct 2 should prevent every following click after the first one (e.g. fast click buffer).

    System details

    Construct 2 R265 on Windows 7 SP1

  • Someone from the Construct Community Discord gave me an easy solution.

    1. Add trigger event (e.g. on start of layout)
    2. Add the browser plugin
    3. Execute the following JS code:
      4. "$('html,body').css('background','rgba(0,0,0,0)');"

    Cheers!

  • Open your Construct 2 installed directory like this.

    > %PROGRAMFILES%\Construct 2\exporters\html5\templates

    Open export-nwjs.html if you want change anythink for NWJS export.

    Edit what you want and save.

    When you export NWJS it will using your edited file.

    You can change preview-nwjs.html file for preview.

    While this is one solution, I'd prefer to do it per-project instead of applying it for all projects.

  • Hi, I've been experimenting around with NWjs and its native-like application features. Inspired by some classic applications, I would like to create a non-traditionally sized click through window.

    While the NWjs side of things in order to achieve this is done, I can't get Construct 2 to behave right. Despite setting all my layers to "transparent" and switching "clear background" on/off, C2 always sets the HTML background to black instead of transparent.

    My question is: How can I set the background color to transparent, without manually editing it after export? (The CSS code for this can be found inside the index.html file.)

    Observed/Expected Results:

  • If any Construct 2 users would like to make use of gamepad rumble, feel free to visit my topic on how to implement it. It's fairly simple and requires no custom plugins.

  • I've tried to reproduce this issue with the provided example in nw.js v0.30.0; nw.js v0.32.0; nw.js v0.33.3; nw.js v0.34.0 (beta) and could not reproduce.

    Here are my steps:

    1. Export project using NW.js
    2. Toggle Internal Sounds Playback
    3. Unload and preload multiple times
    4. Toggle Internal Sounds Playback (repeat with previous step)

    I also did some experiments myself to check if something goes wrong with memory management of audio files but I got no results with that either, everything works as intended with internal audio files.

    If anyone has a better, more compact example project for reproduction, I'd appreciate if you could share it here. If only bigger projects are affected, it might be worth sending them privately to Ashley so that he can look into it but I doubt that the size of a project has anything to do with this.

  • How would I put a Paypal Button in my Construct Project?

    1. Create a Paypal Donation Link
    2. Search for a Paypal button template or create one yourself (2nd option is recommended)
    3. Add a sprite and apply the selected image
    4. Add "on click/tap" event and open donation URL using the browser plugin

    I don't know all details on how to create a Paypal donation link and what the requirements are, so you'll have to figure that out on your own. Shouldn't be that difficult though, a lot of content creators on the Internet use it.

  • TetroniMike could you or anyone else who already reproduced this issue please give me the affected NW.js versions. Info about your OS would also be appreciated (e.g. Win7).

    I'll check out if something can be done directly using workarounds or report it to them if it's an internal NWjs issue. Please note that I'll only try to reproduce this potential memory leak using sounds that are included in the project, since Ashley already pointed out that playing external sounds as described isn't really supported.
