  • 1. .jar files are java compiled byte-code. It has no interfacing with Construct as far as I know.

    Anyway, I think you could open it in binary, but I don't think that's what you want.

    2. I'm not sure to understand your question. Are you searching for the expression AppPath in System ? (System -> Get application directory)

  • Jayjay, don't answer spammers posts ^^

    For moderators, last message in page 1 needs moderation.

  • The bigger link catches more the eye. I'd still have filled its background with some light green to really make it stand out though ;) But I'm picky :P

    Dear Tom,

    I would like to suggest a reorganisation concerning Construct 2's forum section.

    Construct 2 general has been taken over by a lot of "help & support" type of topics. Maybe it is time for those topics to have their own sub-forum, alongside "bugs".

    Moving those topics might help clear the general discussion section.

    Following the same pattern as CC's section.

    In the long term, extensions should also have their own sub-forum. It might not be a necessity as of now, only two topics are concerned. But in the mid to long term it might come in handy hopefully.

    Also I think this "post your tests" topic should be stickied. This might lead the newcomers and ppl actually messing with C2 to bring some "positive" flow other than "help & support".

    orking on the site and other Scirra related things, there's a lot going on behind the scenes at the moment!

    Okay, now you have my attention and curiosity.

    You've either said too much or not enough. Anyway, what's going on behind the scene ? :)

    Keep up the good work ;)

    EDIT: Also when reporting a post, on validation of my reason message I get this error:

    Error
The email failed to send. Please contact the Forum Administrator with the error message below.

Server Error Message:-

The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 No such user here

    And I don't think the post is being reported.

  • You mean some post-it over the code and/or layout ?

    Could be a good idea indeed.

  • Well, the k3d render library lucid posted about seems the good way to start. It's indeed not relying on webGL, and it renders pretty nicely in my FF5.

    I don't know, though, if the library can run alongside jquery, and how that would affect C2's exported projects.

  • I personnaly use the image editor The Gimp.

    There are other editors out there (paint.net, photoshop, much more...)

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • The "see-thru" effect is the purpose of "additive".

    Transparency in images is done by adding an alpha layer to them. The .png format allows you to export images with such transparency.

    You can get more infos by searching for the keyword "alpha transparency" in a search engine.

  • I don't see any "You have X PMs"? Does it appear only when I receive one?

    Yes.

  • Suggestion: Make the "You have X PMs" message a little more visible.

    I think it is in a zone of the screen (the logout) which users tend to forget about. And as the display of the message is pretty much the same as the logout link, we don't tend to notice it very much.

    Maybe add a little candy like shadow css, or some background filling to catch the eye.

    I've sent a PM to Zack0Wack0 two days ago, he's been twice on the forum since (checking the last activity) but the PM I sent him hasn't been read yet.

    This leads me to believe he hasn't noticed the "You got mail" link yet. (I haven't had noticed it right away either the first time I received a PM)

  • Pretty much how tulamide said.

    When you test LOS1, you put no other condition. So LOS1 should react to any object (whatever layer it is on).

    When you test LOS2, you add another condition, being "Is on layer" (See Tulamide's post). This way, LOS2 will only react to objects on its same layer.

    LOS2 needs to be on a different layer than S1, and S2 needs to be on the same layer.

    If you're still stuck, consider posting a .cap with the setup you described that will help give you back the proper code.

  • A plugin could be made indeed, but the problem is WebGL represents a possible security hole. Indeed, as browsers get access to low level routines on the client's graphic card to render 3D, it gives possibility for hackers to read GC's memory (take screenshots of what is displayed on your screen if you will).

    Historicly, Graphic Cards drivers didn't need to care about security measure in the past. With WebGL, there will be a need for new design of thess drivers.

    As a result, Microsoft has no plan to support WebGL and will focus on silverlight as far as 3D is concerned (even if I guess they will have to deal with the the same security constraints as WebGL). Moreover, "experts" advise for now to disable webgl support in chrome and firefox until the implementation is secured (once again, like websocket).

    So working on a 3D plugin for C2 now could be quite a loss of time and energy. It might be safer to wait for a proper support by the browsers, and then getting hands and heads around such a plugin.

    Again, such a plugin wouldn't be supported on IE (and possibly safari in the long term).

  • I liked. The animation and effects are pretty nice.

    It reminded me of good old platformers style with a lot of energy displayed.

    Pretty cool, keep up the good work.
