  • Well a plug would give C2 a leg up if it didn't rely on webgl.

    The question is how slow would it be?

    Lucid's link actually ran pretty good on my FF3.6.

  • If your testing for "solid", then telling it not to test for solid on a layer wont do. Its either all in, or all out when comparing an attribute.

    However you can test if an object is on a layer, and then set the collision mode for those objects to none.

  • Thanks. An expanded tutorial really was needed, so thumbs up.

  • What has the internet come to when IE works and you have to add special workarounds for Firefox and Chrome??!! :S

    Heh

    Yeah it only took em like six years to add proper png support, and now they're ahead of everyone else, and not shoving silverlight down our throats.

    Isn't this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

  • Kyatric

    Well I mean a full fledged non proprietary plug.

    Perhaps with Java, but that's even more limiting. Or some one could maybe make a plug for FireFox, but sol for other browsers.

  • To bad you cant just make some browser plugins to play sounds.

  • I think that's one of Rich's plugs, a developer who's no longer around, so the source may never be available. However its a fairly simple plug, and you can probably figure out the basics by reading the dev forum, picking, for each, etc.

  • Or... work around of the week.

    Imported frames IE "sprite load animation frame from file" generate a collision mask. Even if said frames have no alpha, and use "magic pink" instead.

    How is this useful?

    Images like this:

    <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/666516/terrain.png" border="0" />

    Can be imported and used as an obstacle mask for rts, solid etc.

    Why should you care?

    The image manipulator object does not have options for an alpha channel, and while "magic pink" does work for making an alpha, a new mask is not made unless its imported.

  • > about png 8bit > my mistake, first time i tried it didnt work by dragging image to stage, and other png did, now it works too, so it works!, its a good way to save on filesize!

    It won't save on filesize - Construct 2 converts everything you import to 32-bit PNG.

    The question is then, do browsers care?

    Its not like you can't switch them in the export.

  • Unfortunately it looks like the issue is with Construct itself, so a plug probably wont help here.

    I'd suggest making a request on the crowdfunding site, but again the issue is most likely on the Construct side, so that would require some input from Ash in some way.

  • Jayjay Yep pretty much, but it's more about the signal than volume.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Yes everyone now knows that the hash for your email is fd97776e49637bd4c1504eafc006b690.
