R0J0hound thanks again for the details, no worries I understand that it may be impossible to keep working on updates for free (it never ends i guess!)

But if you ever think of making plugins then please do! Sometimes there are no other ways to do certain types of things (floodfill in my case) I wish I could do programming, alas i'm just a graphics guy

So i'll always prefer finding a plugin for something, even if it doesn't work 100%, instead of finding nothing at all hehe.

Thanks again for the tips (my workaround would be using a top sprite to hide the edges, and the canvas object under it, so the pixels will not show, already tested)

I wish C2 supported vector objects, I guess it would have made this simple interaction so much easier!

Thanks again!

R0J0hound it works! Thank you, you're a genius ^^

Even though the coloring is not perfect on the edges (uncolored pixels showing up,) I think I can find a workaround, unless you have any tips, thanks again! ^^

Hey R0J0hound

thanks for your reply,

Unfortunately doesn't work with filled colors either for me (but works for a friend, weird, and his capx gives me the same result: no coloring,)

The simple capx:

reinstalled the graphics card driver to latest, verified Chrome version to latest etc (tried turning off Intel Virtualization but was told it's unrelated) so i don't understand the problem (I also reinstalled the canvas plugin again just in case)

No Idea how I can fix that, what would you do?

Otherwise I'd think of other techniques, but it would add more work, so if I can make the Canvas plugin work, that would save me a lot of time and energy, thanks again for any suggestion!

Hey R0J0hound

First thank you for all your efforts for making Canvas and helping here.

I am trying to do a simple "fill area with color" much like the MS Paint bucket coloring or Photoshop.

• I have a problem where I can't use floodfill with color on a canvas object, it freezes the preview. and I have to quit the chrome window.

• Tested many times on blanc projects: the only thing that works so far is fill canvas with color, but then all the object is colored as square or rectangle etc.

• I'm on R 244, Win7 - 64bit, but a friend using Win 10 - 64 bit can create the floodfill with color interaction, yet if he sends me his capx, it still doesn't work for me.

Is there something I can do? Also is there another way to fill areas with color other than using Canvas? I am thinking of other ways but my C2 knowledge is limited and it's been a while I didn't use it, but I like thinking of problems to solve...

If anyone has a suggestion for making a simple area color fill (like the color bucket of MS Paint) then please feel free to share ideas

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi linkman2004

Edit: problem fixed, didn't notice it was for Construct Classic and not C2.

I am trying the Magicam plugin on R190 stable, and I have this error message:

Before that, I tried on beta 187 and same thing, am I doing something wrong? (Placed the "Plugin" folder inside the usual plugins folder for C2)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

I think it may depend on the complexity of the visual style (and the illustration skill,) the time needed for producing one character, and the artist's hourly rate, and of course the artist's experience (an experienced artist may ask for a higher rate than someone with less experience.)

But it also depends on your budget and whether the artist can adapt to your budget or not. If they can and you're satisfied with their production then it's great, if not then you could look for another artist.

Also, question: are you looking for an artist or did you already find one?

Hi federer365

I've sent you an email, looking forward to helping you with this project.

imothep85 then you certainly mean Sprite Fonts, just go to the tutorials section and search for Sprite Fonts, you'll find a lot of help

Hi imothep85

What do you mean by "bitmap"? You realize it's a format of image, right?

Hi guys,

The Grid plugin or the C2 original Grid cannot be used like the visual guide lines, I also had to create my own transparent background guide lines as images and add them to the layout view, other times I place an image reference for the correct positions, and put the sprites on top of it with a lower opacity, once all the sprites are in place I just delete the image reference.

But all of this is frustrating because it's additional unproductive work, a basic guide lines without snapping could already be a huge update, I would really appreciate something like that, also would be great if it's available inside the animation /sprite image editing mode.

Bass_X thanks for the kind mension,

Unfortunately, and as I explained to A0Nasser in PM, I no longer have time for any other project, not even my own side projects, and I suspect it will take me quite a while in mid term. In any case I will contact you both if I ever become free.

Thanks again!

Bass_X thanks,

Infact right now I am very busy working on three projects, but we can get in touch via email, I'll send you a PM.
