  • It's already in.

    You have the audio.preload action that you can throw at the start of layout of your program.

    Make sure to not give the hand back to the user before everything is loaded (i.e. custom loading layout be sure to check the comments there is EXACTLY the solution you need) and you're good to go.

  • Nope you don't need to PM it, attach it to a forum post, or use dropbox and post a public link.

  • It depends a lot on how you've implemented things so far, and posting (attaching to the message) your capx could help.

    One way would be that the name of the object is in a text instance variable that you modify.

    In an array you can keep track of all the names and UIDs of objects you've modified.

  • It would be indeed easier if you would post (attach) the capx of your current project with your message so we could understand better what you are looking to achieve exactly.

    For the background, are you sure your layout size can handle the 9000 pixels of your background ?

  • if Scirra internationalize their support for another languages, the problem of always relying on someone to keep the board working will always exist.

    Exactly.

    And that's why since the website existed it's always and only been an English-only board and other language communities have always been left in the hands of the people speaking these other languages.

    Some made external forums, some made Facebook groups. And people looking for those always end up finding it in the end. Even if it is after having come round those forums.

    It would be nice indeed to have international boards on Scirra's forums for the users.

    But from Scirra's perspective, it could quickly become a moderation nightmare that they don't want to (understandably)/don't have the resources to deal with.

    You proposes yourself for a Brazilian board today, good.

    But what happens when tomorrow you move on to another website/tool/whatever ?

    Scirra is left with a brazilian board they have no way to moderate nor support, and probably would have to shut down anyway.

    So, for the time being, better not make one in the first place, and let communities make their own websites/groups/whatever on the side and deal with support/moderation on their own.

    If Scirra finds a good way to handle such international boards, I'm confident they will do, as they are aware of your suggestion/request (you're not the first to bring it up).

    Nevertheless, in the current state of things, it's likely not going to happen.

  • And what does happen the day you don't want/can't handle the moderation job anymore ?

    At least, with English forums, even if all moderators go, Scirra boys still can understand/handle it.

    Not the same with a foreign language they don't speak, and still they would be responsible for what is posted in this part.

    If you really want to, join the already existing community of your language and be an engine for their development there. Either acting as moderator, providing tutorials and support, etc...

    Or make a new website/community, better organised/developed, anything to make the community work better.

    But understand it's not something that can be easily achieved on Scirra's forums.

    (I'm not a native English speaker as well, I get your point, but I get where Scirra is standing as well)

  • eskimojoe: You are bumping a year old thread from someone who hasn't posted in those forums in a year.

    You're right on the principle IMO, but witch hunting never was a solution.

    DUTOIT: As mentioned in the sticky post "Read before using this forum"

    [quote:dbc7gf4q]Anyone who engages in deals/working arrangements etc DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.

    [...]

    Use entirely at your own risk. We also will not moderate, support or assist with problems on this forum, or verify accuracy of posted information.

    Thank you for not reporting posts from this forums, it's entirely up to the users to use and browse at their own risks.

  • Some of your answers in the blog article Ashley wrote a month ago

    [quote:2w7btudl]How will it be released?

    [...]

    Additionally, given the scope of the feature and the ongoing running costs, we are planning to introduce a low-cost subscription for the full version of the multiplayer feature upon its final release. This is planned to support extended features, including player logins and data storage (e.g. for players to accumulate inventory, achievements, ranks or experience points in a multiplayer game), leaderboards, location-based matchmaking, and possibly relay servers to help connect users who are behind extremely restrictive NAT and would otherwise be unable to connect. We do hope to support a basic but useful version for existing users with a license. This is still under consideration and is subject to change, but please be aware our priority during the beta is to test it is efficient and robust, and that we may make adjustments to the available features after the beta.

  • bremen: The list is up to date as can be.

    Since the change of forum, there is an issue with the bbcode that I'm waiting on Tom to resolve before resuming the updates.

    You can find the not yet listed plugins in the monthly "What you may have missed" topics.

    Only two months missing isn't that much I think but thank you for your concern.

  • There is a "Best practices" manual article (which also links to the "Performance tips" article).

    Then, for more insight Ashley often posts technical blog articles and used to post them in the general blog section as well (some old articles are still worth).

    I'm not sure how yet another sticky would help when the articles are already available in relevant sections.

  • DragonFall Project

    My entry for the 2014 CyberJam

    Play the game

    As someone coming from the Western sector, you're now considered the scum of the Earth after the loss of the Second Nuclear World War.

    Nevertheless, you moved with your family, with the hope of providing a better future for them.

    As a former paratrooper, you're soon involved in the "DragonFall", an event of strange nature where living humans willingly throw themselves in an often lethal freefall.

    Your goal is to survive for the length of the fall and don't get it by a laser ray, mines or limits of the freefall zone.

    Survive the fall and you might get closer to providing a healthy life to your family.

    Simply move your character with the arrow keys.

    Good luck !
