  • If I had to guess I'd say it is possible to add what you want. If I were to do it though, I would need to first understand the subject. I really have no idea about noise and it has never been something which I found particularly interesting.

    If there wasn't anything else for me to do, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. But I already have a bunch of other things waiting to be done.

    So I guess you will need to re-invent the wheel? It would probably be faster than waiting for me to figure out all that stuff.

  • Have you tried writing a script in C3 and use DOMParser? You still need to do some coding, but it's all kept in C3.

    I'm sure extracting data from HTML like that will be much more convenient than working with regular expressions and raw text.

    Either way I think you are going to need some coding because C3 really doesn't have anything built for this specific task.

  • I am not super familiar with PHP, but if you need to do DOM parsing, you are better of using a library. Avoid rolling your own regular expressions like the plague, it will only cause you trouble in the future.

    Looking around I found this PHP DOM manipulation library github.com/ivopetkov/html5-dom-document-php/, have never used it, but it looks promising and has a bunch of stars in github. And it seems to have documentation, which is always a plus.

    Even if you are using a library, the problem with scraping is that it depends on the layout you are trying to get data from, so if that changes, you need to update your code. Because of that reason, in the past I found that it is better to keep your queries just specific enough to get what you want, in the case the layout changes a little bit, but not too much, you might get away without changing anything on your side.

    What does this has to do with C3?

  • This is a regression bug introduced in the latest beta, will be fixed in the next beta.

  • Here is a very contrived example showing DrawingCanvas's Save Image action to save the state of the canvas, then uses the On Saved Image trigger plus the Saved Image URL expression to set the saved image into an empty Sprite instance.

    For the case that you are describing, I think what you would need to do is keep track of the url of the saved image on the trigger, so you can retrieve it later on, outside of the trigger.

  • If you were able to set depth to more than 100, that was definitely a bug. Not being able to do it is the correct behaviour.

    I don't think there is any particular reason for the limit being at 100, it seems like it was just set as a sensible limit. Obviously it can not be infinite as that could eventually lead to running out of memory.

    The thing with the depth property is that each additional increment is essentially adding a whole extra sheet. If you are using relatively small sheets, let's say 10x10 for example, that is fine. In that case each depth increment would be adding an extra sheet with 10 rows and 10 columns, which would add up to a total of 100 new cells. If your sheets are larger though, each increment could potentially be incrementing the total cell count dramatically.

    The limit for width and height is currently set at 1000, in the case of using a sheet of 1000x1000, each depth increment would be a million extra cells, which could rack up memory pretty quickly if left unlimited.

  • Just checked this to be sure, and seems that 100 depth has been the limit since the feature was implemented. So I am not really sure how you were ever able to do more than that.

  • Can you file an issue in our tracker?

  • Thanks for filing the issue.

  • Just recently I realised the problem you are having with the total time marker and with dragging keyframes, I was surprised that neither of those things were doing what I thought they should be doing!

    What OS and Browser are you using? Normally we develop in Windows Desktop running Chrome, so the scrollbars are pretty chunky.

    I don't think there is an easy workaround for small objects, you can select the instance in the layout by clicking on it's corresponding track in the Timeline Bar, but the changes need to be made on the instance itself, either by modifying it with the various handles or through the Properties bar, that's just how C3 works.

    Can you explain what you had in mind for the MoveTo behaviour + Timeline, I am imagining an expression, but please explain.

    I'll go look at our error tracking specifically for timeline errors, normally we pay attention to the big offenders and the small ones slip through the cracks.

  • More often than not there is no right answers on how to implement a certain feature. The templates are meant to give a hint for beginners as to how a certain type of game might be implemented, but they are not the only way to go about it.
