I don't wanna

No, really... I've rewritten them all four times now. I don't want to keep doing that. I'll wait until v1.0.

I rewrite the final one you did every time a new construct is released.

It's a good way to see what's been changed, and what to do to fix it.

A lot of deadeye's platform tutorials should still be helpful to you, although I think it's time he updated them to work in the latest version of Construct .

Personally, most of the time I would create my rooms on a single layout.

If you have a visible screen size of say 640x480, and you want 100 rooms, that's only 10x10 640x480 screens in one layout.

Then you can either scroll along with the player, scroll to the next screen when you walk off the edge, or (and this is the one you'd want if you were entering doors) you would just update the camera position to the part of the layout that holds your next screen.

There's plenty of examples of these ideas around the forum.

Don't worry.

After a bit more research I can see that it's not.

Maybe something they should consider for future versions?

Anyway, for the project in question, I'll use C# so that I can embed 7-zip into the exe.

I had a quick look earlier today before I went out, but couldn't see much information on it.

I'd just like to know if the ZIP object that's included with Construct uses 7Zip.

I need to use 7Zip for compatibility with another program, so I'm hoping that Construct already uses it to save me having to fart about with accessing 7Zip via command line.

Thanks mate.

I forgot to mention I was exporting as an application runtime, rather than DirectX.

Cheers.

Can anyone confirm this?

Unless I'm missing something obvious, text that's aligned to the centre in Construct ends up left-aligned in the compiled app.

If anyone can confirm this as a bug, feel free to log it as a bug on the tracker, because I don't remember my account info over there, and don't have time right now to look it up.

I'm using the latest stable version of Construct 0.99.62

Thanks Deadeye.

I'll download it and see what info I can get from dragged files.

Cheers.

Ok, didn't have time to finish it this weekend, so I'm going to upload the original "Part 1" again.

This time it's on my website, so it's not going anywhere (unless I do )

No idea anyone?

Is it possible to catch Drag and Drops from outside an application?

For instance, you drag and drop a bunch of files from a Windows folder window and your app catches the names of the files dragged onto it.

Also, while I remember, is it possible to have your app window "stay on top" of other windows?

Cheers,

Krush.

Yes, I'm about half way to finishing the optimised tutorial, and I hope to have both tutorials in one program rather than releasing the second as a standalone.

Unfortunately, I'm quite busy at the moment, but I should have some time this weekend to finish it, and have it uploaded Monday or Tuesday.
