  • Thanks for the quick response but I don't understand what "Set the font size in relation to the scale" means. Can you explain further?

    Just to let you know I just want to have readable text on an iPhone and iPad.

  • Using r146.

    I just cannot see how text is scaled and after searching the forums I'm not sure this is possible. The tutorials say set the scale of a layer to 0 but I have tried that and many different values and they have no effect whatsoever.

    I have also set the Parallax of the layer to 0,0.

    Can someone tell me if scaling text is possible like on a HUD or am I chasing my tail here?

  • 0plus1 Thanks for the advice, I may go back to it when I get a chance.

  • 0plus1 I am not using any plugins at all so I am more than a little lost.

    I hit a wall with Ejecta, no-one had an answer for me. I asked the C2 guys and Ashley advised me to go with CocoonJS as that was supported - that is what I have done but I would like to have the option of using it as I read good things about it.

  • Anyone??

  • I am trying to find an answer for this too - anyone?

  • I have built my project with Ludei's Cloud Compilation service but I want this app to be iPad only.

    I set this up in XCode as Targeted Device Family and so on but after delivering the binary to Apple it says the app is for iPod/iPhone and iPad.

    Does something is Ludei's compilation service make it for all devices? Can I change this somehow?

  • Here is my error from XCode, perhaps someone can help with it.

    And the relevant lines in c2runtime.js...

  • So you have the touch object in your project now and not the mouse object. Correct?

    Yes exactly, at first I added the mouse object to test on the PC and (once I found buttons did not work with CocoonJS) I created sprites for each button using touch.

  • I don't think buttons work with CocoonJS. I was told to use touch sprites. Maybe it's the same with Ejecta?

    Yes I am using touch sprites.

  • After throwing the towel in as I could not get my project to export properly with CocoonJS I am having issues with Ejecta.

    My project loads but touch does not work - buttons have no response. I had some code I had to hash-out to get it going:

    14725        var instanceProto = pluginProto.Instance.prototype;

    14726        instanceProto.onCreate = function()

    14727        {

    14728                 var self = this;

    14729                 if (!this.runtime.isEjecta)

    14730                 {

    14731                         jQuery(document).mousemove(

    14732                                 function(info) {

    14733                                         self.onMouseMove(info);

    14734                                 }

    14735                         );

    14736                         jQuery(document).mousedown(

    14737                                 function(info) {

    14738                                         self.onMouseDown(info);

    14739                                 }

    14740                         );

    14741                         jQuery(document).mouseup(

    14742                                 function(info) {

    14743                                         self.onMouseUp(info);

    14744                                 }

    14745                         );

    14746                         jQuery(document).dblclick(

    14747                                 function(info) {

    14748                                         self.onDoubleClick(info);

    14749                                 }

    14750                         );

    14751                         var wheelevent = function(info) {

    14752                                                                self.onWheel(info);

    14753                                                         };

    14754                         document.addEventListener("mousewheel", wheelevent, false);

    14755                         document.addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", wheelevent, false);

    14756                 }

    14757        };

    This final export process is doing my head in, been working on it for 3 days now - I thought this part would be no problem. <img src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Yeah, I would take out the mouse code for sure, that seems to be the issue. Might as well turn off WebGL as well. I'm not sure it mattered if it was on or off in C2, when I tested it.

    Okay some progress, I hashed out that code then the project loads up.

    Now my issue is that touch does not work - my game loads and gives the player a few buttons to select options, none of them work.

    Here is my log output - looks pretty clean.

  • Does you app have or use the mouse object?

    Did you use the non WebGL version of the batch file? I'm not sure there is WebGL support yet.

    It has the mouse object - only for testing on the PC I think before the touch was implemented.

    Yes I used the non WebGL version of the batch file but my project has WebGL on.

    Think I should hash the mouse part of the code out? And export with WebGL off?

  • After switching to Ejecta I am getting an error in XCode and cannot get around it.

    I followed the tutorial here https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/627/how-to-export-to-ios-with-ejecta

    My build succeeds but the Ejecta splash screen comes up and then just a black screen.

    Here is my XCode log:

    I had a look at line 14731 in c2runtime.js - here is the function:

    14726        instanceProto.onCreate = function()

    14727        {

    14738                                         self.onMouseDown(info);

    14745                         );

    14746                         jQuery(document).dblclick(

    14747                                 function(info) {

    14748                                         self.onDoubleClick(info);

    14749                                 }

    14750                         );

    14751                         var wheelevent = function(info) {

    14752                                                                self.onWheel(info);

    14753                                                         };

    Any ideas what could be up here?

  • Try Construct 3

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Sounds like you haven't copied the index.js file to the APP folder or you haven't run the (EjectaXporter_2d.bat) fnr to reaplace all the objects in the c2runtime.js file

    I have exactly the same error:

    XCode says "No Issues" but I just get a black screen after the Ejecta startup screen.

    My log says:

    ReferenceError: Can't find variable: jQuery at line 14733 in c2runtime.js

    I copied index.js to my App folder and I ran the batch file - just as the tutorial tells me here: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/627/how-to-export-to-ios-with-ejecta

    Any ideas?
