  • Beautiful art style. As someone also working on a game that takes place in the city, I'm really jealous of your backgrounds. Do you have any gameplay footage yet?

  • <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gOF3ja1x_K8/UZ_Yt8J0EcI/AAAAAAAACU8/xLosFNiHyhM/s1600/Screenshot+5-24-13.jpg" border="0" />

    Its been forever since I've been able to work on anything for my Superhero game. The schedule is getting so hectic that I'm going to have to squeeze in what I can when I can. So I decided to start trying to bang out some art assets as my art warm ups before I start other projects. I also got a little bit smarter about using Construct 2 and turned some stuff into tiles and playing with reusing other assets and adjusting colors.

  • lucid Clearing Chrome's cache worked perfectly. Not sure what the problem was, but that fixed it.

    Still having the problem with the image files not loading with the scml file. Just so I'm clear on installation of the plugin (and I'm really sorry if you've covered this some place else):

    You download the zip file called "scml".

    Then, you extract the folder "scml" into the "plugins" folder inside Construct 2's install directory.

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't wait to start working in Spriter. I've been brushing up on skeletal animation all week.

  • Weird. I'm getting the same error that Vsquared was getting, even with the updated scml. Also, when I try to look at the example file (the animated monster) it doesn't show up at all in Chrome, but works fine with Firefox.

    I've also noticed that when I try to drag the monster example into Construct 2, that none of the images show up. I don't think the sprites are loaded into the folders either.

    Not sure if any of that is giving any hints as to what's wrong or if its something I'm doing. Any help is appreciated. I'm really looking forward to diving into spriter.

  • It worked! Thanks! I saw a tutorial on here that talks about editing your exported html file to change some things. I'm going to read that over tonight. I'll let you know when I get the Construct 2 project finished and loaded up to the blog. Thanks again for you help.

    Almost there! So I found some blog post where a guy put an iframe at the bottom of his posts section. Following that, I put the iframe above </header> and it works! I think its the same concept that you were talking about, I just don't know enough HTML to get it into the right spot. Of course, it still loads up the page inside of the iframe when I press that button (like you pointed out), but at least its working.

    Right now I'm trying to get it centered horizontally on the page. I tried align="middle" and it did nothing so I will do some more research on that later. I also have a black border showing up along the top and left of the iframe, but I think that's a margins thing.

    If you have any thoughts on the alignment or border, let me know. If not, thanks again for joining in on my incredible headache.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • Hmmmm. Couldn't find any of the "<div class='navbar section' id='navbar'><div class='widget HTML' id='HTML5'>" anywhere so I just tried it with a fresh start on blogger. Putting it in the absolute beginning gave me a format error so I tried pluging it in at different areas of the code. It didn't appear anywhere. Weird.

  • Actually, if you have a second to skim over something I would appreciate it.

    When I first started this, I was able to create an extra "header" widget in blogger and put my iframe in it. The problem I had was that the iframe was showing up behind my header description and couldn't be interacted with.

    Looking at these tutorials, do you think its possible to ignore the widgets, place the code for the iframe directly into the html, and then set it to "float" above the actual blog?

    If you look for "CSS Positioning Code" you'll see where they talk about it: Floating Content in Iframe

    I also found that if you set the "left" property to 50% that it will center in the page: Center Iframe

    I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks.

  • Didn't seem to work. It put the code at the top of the blog. You can see it at my site:

    Need Your Disease

    If you want, we can throw in the towel on this. You've spent a lot of time on this and it might just not be possible in blogger. Let me know what you think.

  • Here is the HTML code that I'm pulling from blogger. It has a section where you can upload new "templates". You just get the code from some site and then paste it into this area. The differences I'm made so far is just adding the ability to add extra widgets and I deleted the Header widget. The widget that I inserted inside Blogger's interface is called Construct2.

    HTML with Open Widgets

    If you think it would help to see how their interface works, I can add you as a user of the blog to see what I have going on in there. You seem trustworthy enough and I have all of the original code saved to my computer so I can fix any problems that may come up. Thanks again.

  • E Bear ,

    Hmmmmmm. That didn't really seem to do anything. The way its loading up now (super slow on my work computer) seems like the iframe is behind the body of the draft and then everything slides down to make room for it. Clicking on the red block does nothing.

    In the version you created, did you just import the iframe in the code without going through the widget? Maybe I can just delete the widget I have in the blogger tool and just put the iframe in through code?

    I realize that I'm going to owe you a big favor, but draw the line at a kidney ;-)

  • So I found the hunk of code that reads:

    #layout .region-inner {

            min-width: 0;

            width: auto;

          }

          ]]>

        </b:template-skin>

    </head>

    Am I putting the CSS code after the line that reads "</head>" or am i putting it after "width: auto;"?

    Also, the iframe code you gave me is the same as I put inside the widget in blogger. Blogger uses blocks to arrange the different things you want to put in there. I created an html block in blogger and already had the iframe code in there. Does your version bypass the need for that blogger widget or are you referencing that one?

    I only ask because I wasn't able to find div class='widget-content'> and <div class='clear'></div>
