  • When I last really tried Vista - which was some time ago - I wasn't keen on it. The interface and all is nice and snazzy and new, and you can turn off the annoying UAC, but even then I found even trivial file operations (copy/paste a 1kb text file) taking upwards of 30 seconds. It also seemed to permanently be accessing the hard drive, which I know is by design and it may be indexing all drives, but it never stopped and overall I just felt the whole experience was slow and frustrating. Context menus, folders etc. all seemed to take an age to appear.

    Perhaps things are all much better now - I don't know - but I'm happy with XP.

  • Use an external .wav file, and use the Autoplay file action. Or, add the file as a resource, and play it using the Autoplay Resource action.

  • Man that is awesome!

  • We have plans to expand the object bar significantly in future releases, so things like this are definitely on the agenda. In future the layer bar object list will be entirely moved to the object bar.

    (Moved post for you)

  • You can enable the attribute you've added on some objects, then test for it in object parameters (such as on collision with myattribute). You can also pass it to some plugins (such as RTS behavior - navigate around myattribute). This could be useful if you want to separate out different types of solid object, for example.

  • Nice update. Some excellent new features in there.

    Could you send your .cap to ? I'll see if I can do anything about it. Alternatively, you can try the old delete-stuff-till-it-works approach.

  • [quote:a6qq8pw5]This is one of our biggest releases ever, with the most changes - exercise usual caution if you have projects you are worried about (back them up, or wait a few days to ensure there arent any new bugs).

    Sorry, theres not a lot that can be done - I think you've learnt the hard way about backups! .cap files have never been backwards compatible, only forwards - there are usually subtle under-the-hood file format changes and we do some jiggery pokery to make old files automatically import. Still, that message could be friendlier...

  • Must be a bug in the UI library. I'll follow it up with the developers.

  • 0.97 introduces a 'qarp' (quadratic interpolation) expression which is like 'lerp' (linear interpolation) but for quadratic curves. Included is a demo showing how you can easily set up nice curves using the expression. The red dots are drag and drop.

    I think I got the formula off Drasa or someone, who pasted in its equivalent in lerps to the forum

  • Cecil: that's not meant to happen, try deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Construct\ folder in the registry and start up Construct again.

  • I think you'll have to put the Light (which draws the shadows) on layer 3, so it doesn't draw over the casters. You'll need a sprite with the white spot to do the lighting on the top layer.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Why are you trying to use mask? It's for cutting holes in things. I think you want to put on Multiply for lighting - and turn off transparency on that layer for it to work.
