The fact that this is episodic annoys me, they're pulling the same string as Sonic 4, they're doing this for money rather then gameplay.

It's Ubisoft, what do you expect?

Ugh, I hate fake corporate sites like this one.

I think wanted is the appropriate word here. I'd be surprised if anyone outside of Ubisoft ever sees these tools. And the new Rayman game they're talking about is console only, more the pity.

Any guesses as to the age of the OP?

I'd say 12-13 tops.

Got to love the enthusiasm, but it needs to be tempered with a large amount of realism.

You see so many posts like this on Dev sites.

Krush.

Given a few years he might hopefully become a constructive member of these forums.

And as for Operating Systems... http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Operating_System_Design

Mono's Miguel de Icaza has suggested something along the lines of UI toolkits being created with game engines (albeit 3D ones), according to issue 83 of Linux User and Developer anyway, so I think that's an interesting area of overlap.

Congratulations on being some of the last 0.5% of Windows 2000 users. Sadly supporting really old operating systems is really tough for us developers, since often useful/simple/cool features in newer operating systems aren't supported that far back. And a figure like 0.5% makes it easy enough just to say "we won't do it".

Windows XP is my physical Windows OS. As I prefer running Linux as my main OS, rebooting all the time just to run Construct is something I'm none too keen on doing. And having Linux as a virtual OS under Windows has its own problems - not least of which is VirtualBox not running well with my combo of XP and hardware and screwing up networking.

I only run Virtual!2K to try out old apps on and test compatibility. Really should use XP to do that properly now I guess, but my budget ain't stretching far at all right now.

What does it actually say?

"The procedure entry point_aligned_malloc could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll".

This is with Construct installed (0.99.82), along with the VC runtime.

Not sure if it's some VirtualBox issue or not (and I can't verify it without a physical Win2K box), but Construct 0.99.82 falls over and pops up an error message relating to malloc.

Ashley: School?

I make in the school a presentation about construct and use a Windows 2000 pc. * i havent admin permission. -.- *

You need the directx dll etc. and the vcredist. The vcredist work only for Windows 2000 with SP4

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

And thanks for the clarification, Ashley.

Before I go wail on Oracle about VirtualBox not supporting Construct under virtual!Win2K, what I'd like to know is... does Construct run on Win2K anyway?

Thanks!

Looks an interesting link. Thanks!

Why would somebody do that to an open-source project as awesome as Construct!?

Liji is someone who believes Construct is an illegal version of MMF. He was (as Deadeye stated) the asswipe behind this malware.

Do you mean something different to the existing 'Include event sheet'?

I have heard though that there's a hot new feature in v0.99.8 which should make this ordeal a lot easier (something about copying events from one .cap to another).

Yes, I do.

Something like #include for Construct would be nice...
