Hey guys,
I am relatively new to Construct 2 and I am really enjoying it. It reminds me a lot of the oldschool RPG Makers and the Javascript Plug in feature makes it quite adaptable.
The only issue I have with the software is that I cannot preview the layout <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
I get the Oops! Google Chrome could not find localhost:5000 error and first thought F it I will use my server but that is tedious. It means I have to upload the files via Filezilla everytime I want to see if the most minute detail works.
Possible Solutions?
1. I tried manually selecting chrome.exe since I thought maybe Construct cant find it in the %appdata% folder. I cant find chrome.exe in the file browser so I just made a shortcut to the desktop and used that as my "custom browser". It still opens my "main" chrome, not the shortcut and (no new window) and I still have the error.
2. My home network is a bit complicated and that may be the problem but on the other hand dosent construct use some Apache server to run it locally? So I am on the fence about this one because I think it should run locally right? Also I am not running any web servers on my computer since that was a possible solution I saw.
3. Use WAMP (no slow file transfers) or my server <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
Sorry if this topic has been adressed somewhere else but I couldnt find a solution using Google search and these forums.
EDIT I also get a timeout if I use Firefox and also IE. So I am guessing it is due to some network funk. Ill just use WAMP then.
