Wine works perfectly. Wine for OSX also works perfectly. The games might crash on exit, but big deal.

If it's crashing on exit, it's not working perfectly.

Seconded, chances are it wasn't installed correctly.

Awesome, glad you guys like the idea! Agreed that folk who are interested could start on things now, or finish up stuff they're working on already. Even if it ends up not being an official showreel, it'll still be great to have something with current examples in. Could be a new one each year around this time, see how things develop and change over the course of 12 months.

I've edited my first post to credit you for the original montage video, since the idea to do one was yours to begin with almost a year ago

I think the deadline should be at least a few months away. I know quite a few users who are working on some really impressive stuff that would look great added to a showreel and would deserve the chance to submit something.

A few months I think would be fair, and it might then coincide with v1.0 (with luck).

Ashley, David, any official opinion on this? Don't want to step on any toes if you guys already have something planned.

First, if I remember correctly, for an external file in the same folder I use:

AppPath + "file.txt"

right?

Second, are there any limits to what extension I can use (eg. only .txt)?

Finally, what format do I put organize the file data in? I know for .ini you have to use

"[Heading]

Name=Value"

but what do I use for the List Object?

AppPath & "file.txt"

And you can use any extension, make up your own etc. from what I can tell you can do that with practically any file construct can recognize and they'll still work.

Hmm, last time I had a play around with that jump sustain, it worked fine. Have you tried increasing the amount?

yea for sure!, i and i know a whole bunch of other users have a whole bunch awesome of things that are just lying around that would be perfect for this.

That's the sort of thing I was hoping for!

You could always give them more organized names which would make them easier to find until/if you get your wish.

So you've probably all seen the construct montage video on youtube that was done almost a year ago by hero_bash from this very forum.

Which showed some really impressive stuff back then, but clearly is showing it's age now. So how about we think of having an official one? All credit to hero_bash of course, as I'm simply updating his idea of a montage.

Here's my suggestion.

----------------------------

Decide on a date a few months from now where all entries have to be ready by. Then anyone can submit a creation of their own. At which point after the deadline, they're all voted on and the X highest voted submissions are put together into a complete video that really shows off the abilities of construct as it is today.

Submissions

Submissions can be anything, games, demo's, fancy effect usage or other impressive feature of construct that can be seen clearly in a visual form. Anything that looks impressive and has come from construct.

Submissions can either be a short executable, set up to play automatically. OR a recorded video. The latter should be recorded at a high resolution (so the final completed video can be viewed in HD format and not look blurry or mismatched between the video's). In either cases, no sound would be required as a track could be used over the entire video.

Rules and such can be worked out later if anyone is up for this, this is just an idea/suggestion right now. But it might give a few people something to aim for, and gets to show off construct, while the users get to participate and vote on what gets included.

So what do people think? Reckon we should try do something like this?

There's already another group!

Yeah like I said in the first post, it's more awesome than the group! Can't be a fan of a group hehe.

Just re-read the original post. Does the controller work ok in other games? Have you tested it? Maybe it's just broken or there's a loose wire. Is the plug thing plugged? Try turning it off and on again? It probably wont help, but you'll feel satisfied you've tried everything.

Then I guess I'll be on my way over to Stencyl... there is no way I'd ever join Facebook.

I was talked into rejoining facebook, least you can do is suffer with me! lol.

More awesome than the group, because it has a picture, and nobody uses groups anymore.

If you don't become a fan, you're automatically a Stencyl user.
