  • When it comes to UI decisions like this, what's your thoughts on adding like a boolean tick box in C3's settings, so that people can choose what they like, with the default being "keep the X on tabs" so that general users will not be affected?

    Is that fair to do, or is it one of those "what if everyone asked for tick boxes for things, then the settings window will be polluted with tick boxes" kind of situations?

    I'm a fan of more customisation, especially if it saves people time or prevents people from wasting time. I'm unaffected by the tab closing stuff, but was curious.

  • Ayy, uhm, no expectations, but was this forgotten in the latest beta?

  • Yeah using C3 in NWJS has been an unpredictable mess whenever I've tried to use it - And believe me, I've tried to get it stable and working. But I constantly dealt with losing save data (silent crashes often happened, even on fresh new Win10 install), having to delete my Appdata and reinstall plugins over and over again, etc.

    I have had the smoothest experience by using C3 in Chrome. My project is 100% NWJS based, so I test using Remote Preview and the Remote Preview Tool (Found here).

    Not a single silent crash or anything when using Chrome.

  • Where did you get "construct3-win64-c77-stable" from?

    Does c77 mean r77? If so, you're on a verrrry old version of C3, as the current latest stable is currently r276.2

  • Thank you Ashley, I really appreciate it!!

    Perhaps I should have just simply asked from the start, considering that it seemed like a "feature that simply needs to be exposed".

  • It's like, so reachable, yet so out of reach haha...

    Like, perhaps I could convert the plugin from C2 to C3 and figure out how to fix it if it's broken and everything. But then I'm thinking "All of this, for 1 variable to be exposed for the Video plugin", a crucial variable that I require for my project, yeah, but... what if the Video plugin got an update/fix in future, then my plugin would be borked and I'd have to maintain it, all just to have control over playback rate lol.

    I understand I can't just download the current C3 Video plugin and try to add the lines in for playbackRate either.

    I also know I could post as a suggestion, but seems like few people would upvote something like this. And also, checking the suggestion topic, I guess it's soon to be renewed to 22H1, as it's still currently on 21H2.

    I'm kinda like... what do I do?

    I want to politely request to Scirra if this would be a quick task to add in to the Video plugin, but then it's the whole predicament of "Is this a minor addition?", and if everyone starts spamming the forum for their small requests, then problems happen again.

    All this headache to make speedy videos lol. Hmm.

  • Ahh I follow - Thank you for the information and resources, I greatly appreciate it!!

  • 2025?

    I also haven't used my discount, and mine also expires in 2025, which sounds correct. I might use mine in a year or two!

  • Is this only when previewing, or is it taking 2 minutes to load when exported and opening it?

  • Great theme - I've used this for years and it is very well designed, easy on the eyes, and very efficient with spacing.

  • Perhaps it's my lack of understanding of Javascript, but I can't get this to work - Infact I can't get any of the video properties to change, including "Volume" or "currentTime". 

    let inst = runtime.objects.Video.getFirstInstance();
inst.x = 200;
inst.currentTime = 0;

    If I do that, I see the Video get moved to X=200 which is good and proves it is picking the Video object fine, but I can't seem to change any properties of the video (I've also tried inst.Volume = 0 ).

    I should really re-read Ashley's in-depth Javascript tutorial to understand this better, but as I was so close with successfully setting the X position of the Video object, it must mean I am REALLY close to being able to set the playbackRate.

    My next method to try and figure this out, is to try and do something with the Audio plugin, as I remember reading about the "audioContext" stuff.

    Could it be that Video is not scriptable as of now in C3? If so, is that the same for many plugins? Do the devs of C3 need to expose each and every property for each plugin? I ask, as I want to try to understand if this is more "Scripting unlocks almost 100% freedom" or "Scripting requires the C3 devs to implement what you need".

  • I almost could see myself doing some event sheet view stuff on my phone in portrait mode.

    I just wish they could add a quick and dirty "drag events" for touch devices. Maybe like the leftmost 32 pixels acts as a "drag event block" to touch input, and touching anywhere else on an event block could behave as it currently does.

    Besides that, and after switching to a keyboard without auto-correct, the event sheet view is actually really usable on a phone!
