Is there a way to open a layout of the same project in a new window? This will be like a registration to a game. You have the main layout of the lobby where everyone is in the room. There will be a button that can be clicked on in which clicking the button will open up a new window for a separate layout and the player can then click another button to register for that game and will be added to a list to show all registered players for that game.

I also think that this is a good idea as far as having a live chat for the members to help each other out by use of a chat room instead of using a 3rd party app. for example using (skype, yahoo, ect.) If there are enough people interested I have already implemented a very basic chat room that I will be using for my site and games. As I said it is very basic right now as far as basic text, graphical interface, and so on. I could also implement one for the users of C2 here that are interested in this. I am slowly learning C2 and a chat was one of the things that I was in need of for my projects. As I said I have a basic chat that I set up following the multiplayer tutorial, nothing fancy as of yet, can not choose fonts, no emotions, no host options, no file transfers as of yet but can work on those things. Maybe someone with a little more experience could help me set this up as well if you want. I can set this up 3 different ways as well, to where you can register on my main site and be put into a "C2" user group and be logged into the chat, allow an open entry into chat like the C2 tutorial just type in your nick and enter, or set up basically a sub-domain and a whole new registration for only users of C2 here can get to by a link in this form thread or some other way. Give me your feedback and we can go from there to see if I work on implementing this.

Hi all Im looking for a way to create an AI Bot that is continuously in a chat room so that the room is all ways online and open, but also be able to have assigned people as host once they join the room. I am not wanting the room to be open only when a person joins it as host, and am wanting only specific people that join the room to be able to be the host and have host abilities. Any help on this is appreciated.

You have to lock the layer that you do not want touched and then create a new layer to work on in the foreground to cover up the last layer. if you want the top layer to be clear or see through then you would have to use css to obtain that.

You can also set up your own free hosting for a website and for online testing of your games which is needed if you do any game for the web. thus then you would also have a place to host any of your images. There are many free hosting services out there to use. One that I have used.

I have been working on this for a few days now. I can get a drop down list created with tem1, item2. ect. When I try to add a link to any item they all carry to the same link and not the separate links that I have the items set to. Also am wanting to know how to have the links open in a separate (new, or a pop up window with minimum navigation).

So example would be a drop down list.

I click on Item 1 and it would open in a new browser window to that address.

I click on item 2 and it would open within a pop up window with minimal navigation.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I am sure that this has come up before, but I may be overlooking it. I have also been reading on various subjects that may cover this as well but my not be grasping it. I have been working with the webcam.capx example and have come across a couple of issues that I am trying to resolve. I have tried to use this example and modify it for my personal usage without this working correctly and then have used just the regular capx and it still does the same. The two issues I am having with this when trying to run it either originally or with my modified version are the following.

1) When loading the page it is giving an infinite number of "Cam 0" with no items listed, and or peoples cams that have joined in the camera source list.

2) So the second part of this is also mentioned in #1. The camera source list is not showing any or any other cams or people after joining, basically not updating on join, still only showing the same infinite number of "Cam 0"

I can join the page it is set on and so can anyone else but the same thing shows, and upon pushing "Ask" for ask to view it does work, but only for your own cam and not giving a selection of which cam to see.

Has anyone else encountered this problem as well? How do I go about fixing these issues? Your help is greatly appreciated.

[quote:3otbbe3a]yeah sorry Kyatric but my game of mine is getting me exhausted & tired because I'm doing all the work alone, and I got that "Impatient" problem thing, since I was waiting for replies to my tutorial. Very Sorry , forgive for my mistakes

I am also in the same boat as you as far as working alone. I do post a reply here or there to help people out when I can with limited experience with C2. I have also posted for help and have gotten negative replies, but I dont complain about it. As mentioned before, it could be the way you ask, the tone you set in asking, a repetitive topic, or you haven't searched, read, or studied hard enough before asking. As far as the other side of negative answers, well another side of this is that some people will not help, they hold themselves to a higher standard, ( I am not meaning everyone) but there are a few, thinking that you are here, you, should have read and studied and know what they do, right away.

[quote:3otbbe3a] What Kyatric said. Here's more experience for you then, something new you've learnt thanks to this.

Don't overdo yourself, working on something to exhaustion doesn't allow you to see things clearly.

So just grant you some rest and let some time go by. Especially since you don't HAVE TO deliver, you don't have a due date or a deadline, so there is "nothing important" at stake here.

As for the part about working alone, don't forget a lot of people in this forum do the same, so you're not alone in that boat.

Just be sure to try to have another activity on the side to allow you to vent frustration in a meaningful way.

Making games is tiring and nerve wrecking, you have to learn to manage this as you go by. This lesson will help you in every day's life as well.

Experience in working alone makes your knowledge richer. As far as exhaustion, well I stay that way. I work a full time job 5 to 6 days a week, and any chance outside of that I am on here working on my project. I do take a break here and there for about 20 to 30 min. to clear my head and then get back to it. Believe me it helps a lot. As said if your not experienced then you are not working on a project for someone, this means there is no "set deadline" take your time make sure its right, don't kill yourself over it. I'm in my mid 40's starting game programming and I can almost guarantee I have a lot less time than you do, not only hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, but probably life wise as well . But then again I can say that at this stage of my life I know how to handle things a little different than many others.

Maybe consider trying to get a team together if you feel working alone you either cant handle or is too much for you. But in that aspect, your whole team has to be on the same page, and is there going to be $ that needs to be paid ? You really need to sit back and weigh all the differences all the way around. I have asked to put together a team a couple of times within this forum, I did have a couple of replies but it never came together. I pretty much gave up C2 for a while until they came out with multiplayer ( my main goal was multiplayer, but also others), now I am back and as active as I can be. I have scince aked for a team again but no replies. I have started to contract out a few services (meaning pay for them) but I do 90% of it all on my own.

On another point I'm also looking at stats. Forum post, reputation ect. I have been on here for around 2 years or so, the comparison between you and I is a big difference. Is it that you have gotten lazy and not wanting to do the research or work on your own, and want it handed to you. By the stats you should not complain about lack of help you should all ready have enough experience, reading, researching ect. without having to come back in and complain there is a lack of help.

everyone

Im sry if I carry on and on, but think any reply or explanation needs some type of good reply not just a line or two which really dose no good.

This is a bump for the edit I made in the original post. The edit as follows "OK, So I strayed away from here for quite a while since at the time mutliplayer on C2 was daunting. I was kinda looking at other options. Being that they have now introduced multiplayer to C2 it has given me new light. I have also slowly started to work on an extensively modified chat / game room system. As of right now I am currently working on this myself, but this is why the edit on this post. I am hoping to bring this post back to life and maybe get a couple of people on board. As stated I am working on the chat system now. I am looking forward to getting the games started up as soon as possible, looking at mainly the classic card games to start with, and maybe a couple of smaller, I guess you could say platformers, or puzzle games.

Again, Anyone interested in this project, wanting to join, or wanting more information, Please contact me."

My mistake I am only pulling a user name from another php script program via the database records. The script itself has its own security and all of my C2 files will also be within this protected directory of the script. But I still dont want to request and pass even a username (no password) back and forth from the database into C2 without it being protected in some way. In looking around I found this plug in AJAXRSA for C2 , which may or may not be the best or of course the only way to protect it but it should work for at least the start of what im doing if not just for testing purposes for now untill I research a better way. The link to this plug-in is here, if anyone else is interested.

http://www.payondev.fr/projet/ajaxrsa/index.html

This plugin will allow you to encrypt data with RSA algorythm in an Ajax request (client side) and decrypt in PHP (server side)

although I have been on this site for quite a while I am still new to programming games etc. with very little knowledge of programming. I'm in a similar situation right now trying to pass information back and forth to a data base from construct 2. in reading up on everything it seems like ajax is the best way to do this. the only problem I have with this is a security issue when it comes to passing usernames and passwords on my side of things. but in reading up on everything there is another add on I think its called a JAX RSA that might help as far as security and encoding usernames and passwords ect.
