  • ah that's awesome! ok sweet. Thanks so much for this. Sorry I got side tracked with some other stuff and I guess I didn't check notify me for the thread!

    I don't need to do this much but I could definitely see sending people to a particular area could have it's advantages like my catalog of products vs going through the front door all the time.

    Thanks!

  • So if we have a website that has a construct game on it. is there any way to point to a particular part of it by clicking a unique URL? like imagine you shared a link to your game online but you want one person to jump right into a particular part of the game rather than always going ot the main menu?

    Thanks,

    Caleb

  • OK I don't know what happened but somehow my browser was set to block popups so of course emails and urls were not opening.. very weird as i never opted in, but i did a browser reset to purge some old files and boom.. it's back!

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • So I have some links to open something in a new tab and this works fine for PC browsers.. but when i click these same buttons on a mobile browser, a new tab doesn't appear and of course no change of focus to the other tab occurs since no tab opens.

    Is there some special thing needed for mobile browsers?

    I also noticed that clicking the "contact" button which opens email also doesn't work.. i could have sworn this was working before..

  • i figured but i still wanted to confirm. the whole local storage thing is one of those things i manage to get working but it's always a little touch and go to get things working perfectly.

  • ok cool this makes a lot of sense and sounds simple enough to do by just removing some files.. but do you know if this data is separate from the "local storage" data that would be saved regarding preferences / high scores?

  • I'm making constant updates to my game/site.. i have a version display at the front.

    8bitwidgets.com (ver 033 is the latest)

    however users might still be on version 017 while i'm up to 033.. i just want to force it to update.

    maybe a button i could put in my settings like "reset / force update" in my settings?

    I wouldn't mind if they download the game each time they visit by default. just not sure if any of these options are possible.

    Also though I do use local storage to save high score so ideally that not be lost each time.. not sure if the data is the same.

  • bah, ok now that's just embarrassing. lol. thanks Ashley :)

  • what?! omg.. thank you!

    has that been in there long? That seems new to me.. not saying i haven't been in that recently but i usually would just change the screen size for a new project.

  • I know I can manually change <body style="background-color:black;"> after exporting, but I wonder if there is a way i could get that pushed into the index.html during export so i just don't have to keep doing that?

  • Hi there, so I was noticing how a web game freezes till you come back. this is fine, but i don't like how my game behaves upon return. I thought it would be nice to perhaps have it do a fade from black upon return..

    I have a FPS / filter event sheet that works well when you first come to the site, but because of the jerk in cpu between tabs this temporarily breaks the effect and giving it a fade from black when you click the tab again to return would be cool.

    I just don't know what to call that moment in the game.. is it the browser "offline" events?

  • actually it seems it was the filters that were doing the most damage to performance.. so i've setup a check against FPS in Construct.. if it's below a certain number.. to disable all of those filters and that seems to bump up the performance to be acceptable.. so that's great.. thanks everyone for the insight and suggestions!
