...or should anywhere on my computer be fine?

I ask because I tried to export, was notified that I didn't have NW.js, followed the link, downloaded and installed it, and am now still receiving the same notification about needing to install it. I've gone to where it's installed and it runs fine (or seems to), and all the tutorials and manual entries that mention it pretty much assume that it's as easy as installing it- no one mentions a specific install destination or any other conditions that might effect it. I feel like it's something really obvious and I'm just spacing on it, but I can't think what it might be. (and yes- I've restarted the computer.)

Good call- I had a program called 'bytefence' and an install of Chromium, neither of which were supposed to be there. I got rid of them and ran an anti-virus program, and since then I've been able to save to single files. Thanks ^_^

Ok; that makes perfect sense. I hadn't considered using other sprites as a way to define the wrap. Thank you for your help; this should be useful for a number of things beyond screen wrapping.

[quote:2cxg0zfk][quote:2cxg0zfk]Update: I have no idea if this is related, but I have noticed that the autosave function is appending an additional '.capx' suffix each time it saves. I glanced up at my project just now and realized that the window bar said I was working on "myproject.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.capx.autosave".

Again, no idea if that's related to my saving issue, but it seemed like it might be. Also, I have tried reinstalling Construct 2, but it does not seem to have accomplished anything.

Further Update: I have purchased a license and have stopped experiencing the problem. Works for me

...Correction: it worked one time, and has since resumed the error described above.

I think I get that much of it; but surely there is some way to get an object governed by the physics behavior which exits one side of the screen to enter on the other side moving at the same speed and angle as it had left. But I if I understand you, what you're saying is that there's no shortcut to get that effect, and if I want that to happen I'll actually have to set up a function to do it myself rather than be lazy and use Scirra's fancy pre-packaged screen wrap?

Being the lazy dude I am, I was hoping to avoid having to do that; but I'm not all that surprised to hear it. Either way this is going to go way faster than coding it by hand. Thanks for the help. ^_^

PS: My first instinct is to have sprites whose center hits the edge reassign their position to the corresponding position on the opposite edge; is that how you'd go about it, or is there a better way?

Well, yeah; but what if I actually want the wrap behavior, but on an object whose movements are governed by the physics behavior? It seems like there should be a way to do that, but being quite new to this I have no idea what it might be.

I'm working on a basic 'asteroids' clone, and I've hit a snag with the wrap behavior. When the ship (I'm only as far as the ship and its movement mechanics atm) crosses the edge, it comes to a complete stop- advancing as normal across the edge and onto the other side of the screen from there if you keep holding the accelerator. This seems to be because I'm using the Physics behavior for my movement; I've noticed that using 'custom movement' like they do in the demo works fine. All the same, I wonder if there's a way to use the physics behavior with wrap without losing all momentum at the edge of the screen.

PS: sorry, but I can't include a .capx of the project. I'm currently trying to resolve a problem I'm having where Construct 2 refuses to save to that format.

Problem Description

When attempting to save a project as a .capx file, I receive this error message:

Error saving project 'New project' - the project has NOT been saved to disk. We apologize for any loss of work. Please report this issue to Scirra!

Message: Failed to move .caproj.tmp to .caproj!

File:\\?\C:\Users\Sarrin\AppData\Local\Temp\cap2QQ1Z3\New project.caproj.tmp

Attach a Capx

Unable to comply due to the nature of the problem.

Description of Capx

This Capx fails to exist.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Select 'Save as single file' from file menu
• Name file and specify destination
• Receive error message

Observed Result

Failure to save file, accompanied by the above error message.

Expected Result

Ideally, a .capx would be created rather than an error message.

Affected Browsers

• All/None

Operating System and Service Pack

Windows 7 Pro SP1

Construct 2 Version ID

Release 227 (64-bit)

Oh, I was going to if the problem happened again today; I just figured I'd post here to point out the similarity, as my searches suggest no one has been complaining of that specific error message recently. I understand if that doesn't help though; I'll avoid drawing such parallels in the future and treat each problem as brand new.

So, I was about to post a new thread but I noticed this one. I'm not sure it's exactly the same problem; the drive I'm trying to save to is local, but the error message I'm getting is identical.
