Hello, I am trying to export a map created with a tilemap object, to export I use "NWjs write file", so I export the map in a txt.

I'm using NWjs to preview.

Then to load that txt in a tilemap I do this with the tilemap: "Load tilemap from JSON" but I can not load the map, that is, the map on screen does not change when I load it, it just does not happen nothing.

What am I doing wrong?.

EDIT:

OK, it should be done this way.

I'm fine with paying for updates, and I would stay subscribed just to support them, but I'd like to have the feeling that I could use the software in it's current state even if I'd stop paying.

What you mention gives power to the user instead of stripping them of control and expecting a fee here and forever after.

It is not a problem of Scirra if you can not edit your project, that is a problem that you have for not paying the subscription. I guess that's how Scirra focuses it. It does not matter if you can not edit, all you have to do is pay. That's what I hope will change in the future. If Scirra includes other payment options, you will not be doing that for you to edit, it would do so because the subscription system does not work as they wish.

If users behave like scirra: Do not do tutorials if scirra does not pay you. Do not help the forum if scirra does not pay you. Do not create plugins if Scirra doesn't not paying you...

Problem Description

In the editor, the behaviors tabs open automatically even though it was closed.

Attach a Capx

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60803633/test.capx

Description of Capx

The capx shows a blue screen sprite.

The sprite is assigned two behaviors.

In the section "behaviors" accesses "Platform" and closes its tab to hide the information of the behavior platform.

Select the blank in the editor.

Select the sprite again.

Now the platform behavior tab appears open even though it was closed.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Select the sprite
• Close the tab of platform behavior
• Deselect the sprite
• Select the sprite
• See the tab of the platform behavior, it´s open

Observed Result

The behaviors tabs open automatically when the sprite containing them is selected

Expected Result

The tabs should remain closed until the user decides to open them

Hi, I'm going straight to the point:

• I created a map with a tilemap object.
• I need to export that map to import it later.

The question is, how do I export the map in JSON ?.

I think I should export it in JSON and later import it using AJAX.

I'm right?.

EDIT:

Ok to export use:

Tilemap -> Download the JSON data with filename "tilemap.json"

Later I imported the file to directory "Files" and I load it like this:

AJAX -> Request tilemap.json (tag "level1")

AJAX On "level1" completed -> Tilemap Load tilemap from JSON "tilemap.json"

But this does not work, the map is not loaded on the editor screen, the tilemap object is empty and the level I created has not been loaded.

OK!

this:

AJAX On "level1" completed -> Tilemap Load tilemap from JSON "tilemap.json"

replaced with this

AJAX On "level1" completed -> Tilemap Load tilemap from JSON AJAX.LastData

Solved.

The problem with that idea though is that you would indeed still be milking them, since you don't pay to keep the server running anymore, yet you still have access to it. At some point there wouldn't be money to pay for the cloud server anymore without a loss because nobody would be paying annually, yet their server would possibly need upgrades because of a larger user-base that would require a bigger server capacity and other things.

If you are a corporation with other products that are profitable, then yes it's possible but if you're a company with a one time fee product, then there's no steady income to make such a business model possible.

You may not have access to the cloud anymore, but you can still download your stuff and work offline as far as I have understood.

No, they have already said several times, you can not edit if you are not subscribed. For some reason Scirra loves dependencies, now you depend on being subscribed to edit your project.

All they need to do is drop the being locked out of your project after twelve month and it would be fine.

I mentioned somewhere else on these forums that I have a suite of components for UI dev in VS which is a twelve month sub type system. But if you don't renew the sub you can't get updates, additions. or bug fixes - you do however get to keep and use the components forever after that. Additionally you can renew your sub at any time you want - even years later - at a reduced price.

I can renew it now if I want, although I haven't done so for nearly two years, because there is nothing new added that I need.

This way you are not milking them by expecting never ending work done to the tools, and they are not milking you by expecting you to keep paying to use the tools.

Much fairer system I think.

I would be happy with this type of payment.

How recent was your last build? You used this plugin in combination with:

THIS: https://github.com/appodeal/appodeal-construct2-plugin

or

THIS: cranberrygame_CordovaChartboost_1.0.27 ???

Also new UPDATE: Managed to get Cranberry Chartboost working but no ads displayed.

See results on OP post.

I use the official C2 plugin from appodeal's website.

To me this works me perfectly with XDK

I tested this as well and I'm getting the same thing... Free <2 seconds and Licensed about 7 seconds.

yeah I can understand, it's slow to respond. A number of times I open 2 versions of C2 because I don't really know if I double clicked the icon to run it or not. So when nothing happens, I try again. Then there are 2 versions up... it's just annoyance though..

Yes, that's why I always run it from the ENTER key, so I'm sure.

Strange.

Installed latest build r243 x64 and moved my license so it would launch the free version. It started in < 2 secs.

Moved license back into C2 installation folder and launched. It too approx 6 seconds.

I have no explanation for this, but it isn't something I can't live with - it's just a little strange !

My opinion is that it should be the license authentication algorithm.

the Mnk

As michael said, your license folder should be at the C2 root folder and not inside a custom folder. I think that is the reason why your C2 takes 2 seconds+ looking for the license file, it can't find it.

Ok, a part of my problem has been solved, the reason being that it had the executable in "win7 compatibility" mode and this seems to greatly reduce the execution speed of the program.

But the former question does remain.

The start time of C2 increases greatly when you activate it.

Just try it as I said before.

> I have always put the license file in the C2 root folder, didn't know you could tell it to find it somewhere else.

>

> Does it help if you do that?

>

I have the license in C: / C2license

I have tried to put it in the C2 installation folder but that has no effect for me.
