Well You could always download a fotn from 1001fonts.com and add it in the game, tought idk if other people are gonna download it to

The one in the pic is Arial, can i use any of the standard fonts that come with xp .

Is there any way to improve or change the look of the text in C2?

example:

I can get round round it by making my own buttons and menu objects, but it just adds to the games overheads.

"What OS + service pack are you using?

If you switch the preview mode from HTTP to File in project properties, does it work?

If i do this, it runs ok!

If you hit Ctrl+Shift+J in the empty browser window (or F12 in IE), are there any errors?"

No errors, just opens Chrome 'inspect element' option.

System: Chrome, Windows XP SP3.

Hi

I just downloaded r48, made a quick test game and when i ran it all i could see was a white screen.

The previous build worked ok.....Help. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Please, upload now.

Try the link again, it should work now.

The particle explosions are awsome, not seen this sort of example done with Construct before. I even ran the layout till all the cards had gone just to see the effect, then had another go.

Where do do get this crazy stuff from. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Re ROJOhounds solution.

If you add a 'wait' event to layout 1's event 5, it seems to run a lot smoother.

Just tried it with 8 direction sprite and it doesn't work!

one thing to note.

i put the combo box in a disabled group, everything worked until the group was activated, then the drop down list went crazy.....it filled the screen from top to bottom with the name of the second item?........then sprite stopped moving. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

It would be awesome for there to be a full, completed game out there for people to see just what CC is capable of, especially one as interesting as this.

Although the number of people asking for the .cap will probably increase exponentially <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Nice work chrisbrobs :)

Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks ROJOhound

Layout 1........5 events and it works...WOW !!

This must be some sort of World record involving the least amount of events ever used for this problem ? (Im gonna Google it)

Layout 2.......This is exactly what i was looking for, and i think it's worth having the the extra events to achieve the smooth effects.

Thanks again.

Oh, thats bad. Being have to create/destroy for every selection makes it useless. I'll try smth else.

Thank you for your help.

You can do it this way, without having to destroy anything :

Combo box

Hope this works.
