Thanks.

I tried to use the same zip tool and renaming it to c3p and the C3 did not recognize the file. I am zipping the files using the winrar now. Do you have a Mac to test the zip tool I used?

Edited: I renamed the file to c3p and I got the same error when I tried to open it in the C3 program.

The file doesn't look recoverable I'm afraid. But if you saved to DropBox, can't you recover previous versions of the file in the version history?

It is the only version of this project I have.

I sent you a message right now. I got the files unzipped using the default mac zip tool. Could you please tell me what I need to do to open these files in the C3 program?

Just right click it and select "Download" in the open dialog.

Thanks. I sent you the file through the WeTransfer. Please, let me know if is possible to recover it or not. I really hope you will have good news to me.

Edited: I know you are a really (really) busy person and because of that I want to thank you in advance for any effort of you to recover this file.

If you send me the project () I can try to recover it. I may not be able to though. Don't you keep backups of important digital work? If not, you may have learned this particular lesson the hard way...

I always save the projects also in the dropbox. It's the 1st time I leave the project in the local browser because it takes a lot of time to be saved in the cloud. I would intend to check the project and publish this before download a final version. It was my mistake but it never happened in the C2.

Ashley I think he saved "local browser". So in order for you to check it, he might need to know how to find the file when saved to local?

Exactly. Do I have access to this file?

That sounds serious! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad"> That's why I never use save to local browser. Did you try to open the project in a previous version of Construct?

Here you can find older versions of construct.

https://www.construct.net/mt/make-games/releases

Do you have any other backup of the file?

No. This is the only copy of the project I have. I saved this file yesterday so I believe that I cannot open it using the previous versions. I am really concerned about this because I know that I will lose this client if I do not deliver this project today. Do you know if I have access to the local browser file?

Last night I finished and saved my project in the local browser and when I tried to open it today I got this message:

Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project.

I need to deliver this project today to my client and I don't know what to do. Please, Scirra, tell me that I can open it to publish the HTML5 files! Please!

Hey korbaach

I hope you are doing well! Is it possible to upload the CAPX again? I would like to suggest you to upload all the examples you did to a repository. They are very useful mainly to learn about.

Thanks in advance.

Added to TODO, sorry that I could not convert them recently.

No problem. I can wait. Thanks for doing this.

The project is entirely my own, though it is a port of a flash-based version written by another teacher.

It is set up in two parts:

1. A Construct 2 client - This exists on the user's device, and runs a big Construct 2 project. The C2 project makes AJAX requests to the server.

2. A php server running a mysql database - This consists of an Apache server which runs php scripts that I wrote. The php scripts contain database calls to the mysql database. All user information is stored on the database.

This method also works in mobile apps. I used to include ad requests to my own ad server. All you have to do in C3 is make a GET or POST request to the server from the C3 project via AJAX.

I will give it a try, but I think it will be almost impossible according with my knowledge

[quote:1vmgm48f]As far as getting started goes, I will try to put this in another reply.
Thank you! I will really appreciate that.

Check out the following URL for examples of this:

http://simbucket.com/chemthinkserver/ch ... ex.html?as

In order to do it, you will need a webserver with a database. Most web hosting companies offer a php/mysql package for fairly low cost. I recommend not saving the images themselves in the database. Rather, store them as a file, then store the filename/URL in the database.

Nice cjbruce

Thanks for the indication. I will check it. I am a Hostgator client.

Is this project yours? Do you know if I can use this method in the mobile apps? Do you have a tutorial about this? I don't know how to start to use this solution.

I intend to create an app with several interactive activities for children. For this I will use some layouts each one for a activity and each should load a image/graphic from a database. The problem is I never create a game that use a db until today and I believe that is better to use a db instead importing text and images to the C3, isn't? So I will need know the basic procedures: which DB to use, how to create this connection (Need I to use a plugin? Can I use a DB in app for mobile devices or just for web?) Could someone help me giving some information about this?

Thanks in advanced
