Yes, I did try it. I told XAudio to play from a resource, but nothing happened.

This thread by thomasmahler made me wonder.

Can OGG files be stored as a binary resource?

And the answer appears to be "no", which is a pity. Is this really so?

Just "filename.ogg" it seems. Thanks for pointing that out.

In other words, they need to be re-written?

Using 0.98.7.

As in, an executable created with Construct looks for any OGG files used by the project in the absolute directory the project was created in.

C:\Documents and Settings\Stuart\My Documents\My Code\Construct is the directory where I keep all my Construct projects and related files (PNGs, OGGs, MP3s etc etc).

So:

I loaded up a test project and exported it to an executable in another directory.

Next I renamed the Construct directory under My Code to something else.

Then I attempted to run the executable. It came up with an "Unexpected error" and terminated.

When I renamed the Construct directory back and re-ran the executable, it worked.

Note that as I only use OGGs for sound I have not tested this with other sound formats.

I am aware the priority of looking for OGGs (at least) is the executable directory then the project home directory, but I guess the real bug here is that if it can not be found in either location it shouldn't crash as it does - exit gracefully or run with no sound, I guess?

In the project list, why am I not simply able to right-click an event and delete it? I can right click layouts and delete the layouts, but I can't delete events here. Yikes. Why do I have to go to the event sheet manager for that?

This does seem a rather peculiar omission now that you mention it. I'd never really paid it much heed before now. Hmmm. Perhaps the interface needs going over looking for similar inconsistencies...

Can't remember where I first heard about Construct, but the first time I looked at it (maybe 12-18 months ago), I couldn't be bothered to actually learn about it. So it stayed unused and eventually uninstalled. Cropped up again because I was reading about Game Editor, and part of my searching to do with that came up with Construct. So here I am.

Till the next build, when some important and silly things are fixed. Shouldn't be long.

Sensible idea! Is the next release purely bug fixes this time around?

I'm not sure I follow why a Sonic game would be so different from any other platformer...

Would Deadeye's platformer tutorials be of any use?

Yeah, do point your students this way too!

Sounds rather useful, yes!
