  • To avoid wasting loads of memory, all instances of an object type share the same set of animations and animation frames.

    Loading a URL permanently overwrites the animation frame it's loaded in to.

    If you want to keep around the original, load the URL in to a separate placeholder object.

  • The engine doesn't support that internally though, so I doubt it's a simple solution. That would probably be a pretty complicated overhaul.

  • The same signalling server is used for both C2 and C3, and it's still actively supported and will be for the foreseeable future.

    I would guess you're having unrelated connectivity issues. Try changing the room name in case someone else is in the room as host who you can't connect to.

  • LaurenceBedford - it's not clear that your posts are actually related to this thread. I saw you asking questions about Cordova adaptive icons, which have an unrelated issue involving a Cordova bug. If that's the issue, it's nothing to do with this thread.

  • If you want to move to a point over a fixed time, the Tween behavior is more appropriate.

    If you want to move to a point with a maximum speed, the Move To behavior is more appropriate.

  • As noted, speech recognition is not supported in Safari.

    Since Apple ban all other browser engines on iOS, all other browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Edge are just skins over Safari. So there is no difference in support between iOS browsers. Speech recognition is just not supported on iOS right now I'm afraid. It's something Apple will need to address.

  • It's out of the question to change the default since it would be a wide-ranging breaking change.

    Further, I think this is more complicated than stated - there is currently no UI to arrange the order, and there is also the question of if an object belongs to multiple families, what is the ordering between families? There is no way to arrange that order either, and I'm not sure how that could even be managed in the editor.

    Another option is to use all the effects on the object instead of the family, if that can be workable.

  • We can't go back to exactly what it used to do. The old approach was simply broken, and people kept running in to the brokenness, and ending up making forum posts, filing issues and contacting support.

    Previous Construct releases are still available - which is specifically done for cases like this where there is some kind of unexpected issue. So if you go back to r197.2 you can carry on using it like it was before, at least in the short term while we figure out what to do about this.

    Considering a permanent change will cause permanent confusion, even years down the line, I would still prefer to use a workaround if one is feasible. That should only cause temporary disruption, and then should be a non-issue years down the line. So before taking any further action it would be useful to know: can you use keytool to rename a key password and continue publishing? Once you have the tool, it should only be one or two lines per keystore - not a lot of work at all.

  • Sorry, deprecated plugins are on track to be removed, and we specifically don't want new uses of them, since it will make it harder and more disruptive when we come to remove it.

  • Hmm, interesting to know, thanks. I wish smart TVs updated their software more recently. My LG TV still runs Chrome 38, which is about 6 years old now...

  • Can you try using keytool to change the key password? I would really prefer to avoid having to change the UI back - we got lots of constant confused users previously, and adding to the support burden really makes a difference to us as a small company with limited resources. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but I'd prefer to try to find any kind of feasible workaround first before we go and change back the Construct UI and end up confusing everyone going through key signing again.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • As for your question, I don't need C2 runtime, it's my employer who does :)

    Out of curiosity, what's their reasoning for this? As noted we intend to retire that next year.
