  • OK, nevermind, I found it in the browser settings, You just need to set up a download and the URI as "CanvasSnapshot". The save dialog from node-webkit is not needed.

  • Hello,

    My best guess was to use the "on screenshot" trigger for the "open save dialog" from the node-webkit plugin, but it never gives me a chance to specify what to save in the c2 event editor, only what MIME type it should filter.

    It opens up the save dialog from my screenshot popup window, but when i input a filename and click save , no file is saved.

    Is it possible to save .png screenshot files from node-webkit's save dialog?

    Thanks in advance. :)

  • Rather than removing the blocks, I think dig-dug actually drew the tunnels over the dirt textures.

    Would save you from drawing thousands of tiles, Just make your dirt in one layer, and have your player and ready made tunnels in another layer so it draws on top of the dirt.

    When the player moves off a tunnel tile have it draw another tunnel tile in the direction the player is facing.Then you will have a digging effect, and you wont need as many collision sensors. Just have the collision sensor on the player and monsters to make sure they are on the tunnel tiles. When the monsters are over the diet tiles either have them draw more tunnels in front of them (dig), or turn into the "ghost eyes" as they are floating under the dirt like the arcade game.

    TL;DR, paint tunnels OVER the dirt, do not remove the dirt...

    Hope that makes sense :D

  • BluePhaze, sorry for the delayed reply,

    1to1 may have changed, but about 5 years ago they where a complete nightmare to deal with.

    If your payment lapses, they will give you a 1-2 day warning before they pull your site down which is somewhat understandable.

    What sucks, is that they make a special effort to make a webpage on your domain that advertises your competitors sites, or offensive products.

    I did one of the sites for a Church group, and they made a bunch of links to BSDM toy sites (torture devices, leather clothes, sexy yet sensible edible underwear).

    The other site that lapsed was a gate company, and they listed all of their competition.

    I leave the billing stuff up to the client to avoid complications. Some people do not answer their email every day or even every week. The church group got terrorized f1rst, and then before I could get all of my clients moved over to another host they nailed the gate company.

    Once you pay them off, and your penalty fee, it takes them 4-5 days to change your domain back.

    Their tech support is non-english speaking most of the time, and trying to get email, or webchat help is like putting a help message in a bottle ,and throwing it into the sea.

    Put that up there with over sold servers, and major amounts of downtime, it is really not worth it. Their tactic are those of terrorists, and pirates.

    Extorting people like this is just the tip of the ice-burg. You will go through layers, and layers of 'scumbaggerie' if you choose to deal with these degenerates.

  • Thank you Ashley, Letting me know that I can send Scirra an email is very reassuring.

    The scope of my next project requires that I buy a business licence, I do not plan on even using the support Email.

    The manual is great, and the documentation is outstanding. The product it top notch.

    I just needed to know that I could actually ask, if Google, and the forum search fails me.

    You guys might have another business licence sale in coming week, your time replying to me was not wasted here.

    Thank you very much. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Very cool! Thanks for your effort.

  • Yeah, Dropbox and Ubuntu 1 are free. I don't know what I was thinking.

  • I am not saying anything bad about the forums.

    I have been very happy with this forum , and the help.

    I am asking about if I get any other type of support with a business licence over a personal licence.

    Do we get official responses? Do we get a higher level of support?

    I think it is pretty cool that the non-licensed people get help too.

    I just feel that they are giving the non-licenced people more support because they do not have their money yet. They do not get anything else out of helping me, they already have my money.

  • Does the Business license come with any heightened support?

    I just signed a pretty big contract last night. I am torn between using C2 and Torque 2D for this project.

    It would be a lot faster for me to just use C2, But I am afraid of hitting some unforeseen wall, and not getting the help I need to complete this on time.

    If I make the jump between personal and Business licence would I get some other type of support? Like maybe I can actually submit a support ticket to Scirra if I hit a dead end?

    I think the extra fee for the licence would be worth it, if I got responses from a Scirra representative.

    Most of the questions I have are if features actually exists. I am not asking to be spoon fed the information. Simple yes/no, and a keyword to search for is all I usually need.

    Playing forum games to get information is what I expect from some half baked GNU project, not a commercial software package.

    As a licence holder, I am pretty upset to see non-licensed people getting official responses before licensed people.

  • There are lots of third party products that can do this for you very easily - many of them have auto upload to hosting sites to make it easy to share your screenshots.

    Oh! automatic upload, that is a great addition. Thank you for the suggestion

    Do you think Scirra will want to do some sort of cloud storage too?

    It would totally kill the "How do I upload images to the forums" post.

    I love how ideas can grow on forums. Just plant a little seed and watch it grow.

  • Sorry for the delay, I must have closed my browser without hitting post the other day.
