Thanks Eren that worked :) Appreciate the help

kochiwilliam From my experience it depends on what type of game / app you want to use construct to make, as well as your preferred platform to deploy. It also depends on how much free time you have improving your programming skills. (If I had more spare time and less hobbies I know I'd be better off learning either unity / unreal to make games).

I used to use klik & play, games factory, mmf and fusion products. When I found C2 I loved the improvements it has on the event sheet side of things. It was way more intuitive and almost a seamless transition form the click team products. Trying to go back to the Click product now is a chore as i am so uses to how C2 displays its visual events and feel its so much friendlier. (Click team are updating the events in their upcoming software to a more similar style to construct)

I've had a full version of C2 for several years now and tried C3 free edition. I would update to C3 now that there is a desktop version if the plugin's from c2 were all supported. Plugins gave great freedom in C2 and allowed me to create many game ideas / projects quickly. They are now the reason I am stuck with a half broken C2 product with no real support as I cannot move my projects into C3.

With regards to your question on how powerful C3 can be. I've found this to be hit / miss depending on what you want to do.

Do you plan on creating PC or mobile games? And do you have a genre in particular?

Problem description

Changing an image from a URL and keeping the existing image size does not work when on a mobile device, despite working fine on a PC.

Example CAPX:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am9ctVZP5a3jielBeF29gFEi1iM0Rw

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a file chooser object / sprite image.

2. Allow the user to pick and image and then on 'file chooser change' update the image from the URL data, keeping the existing image size.

3. The sprite updates with the new image, keeping the size restricted to stay in the current layout (On the example)

Observed result

On a PC this works fine

On a mobile device the image opens as if the image size is the same / goes outside of the original image size

Expected result

Image should have resized to match the existing image (And keep within the layout boundary)

System details

Construct 2 R265 on Windows 10

Anyone know any solutions?

Bump to see if someone can reply / point me in the right direction. I've asked a couple of times and it seems this no longer works in C2.

My problem is that I cannot upgrade to C3 to finish my projects as I use plugins on them which are not supported on C3. A real problem which is keeping me using the C2 setup....

Ashley is there a solution?

Hi,

I have a couple of applications I've built that allow a nice GUI, which exports text box fields and variable data into both excel and word format. I currently use the AJAX plugin to load in either a word or excel .xml file, carry out a find and replace to update the information contained. Then use either the browser plugin (preferred) or NW.js to download the updated file.

Limitations on this method are that I am unable to input pictures into the created documents. I created a work around for the excel outputs, put if its possible I'd like a plugin so that i can develop further and have a more efficient solution.

There are a couple of directions I've been pointed at, but they are outside of my comfort zone to learn / implement.

Anyone that is interested give me a PM / reply back and we can look at in more details.

Cheers,

I still get the same problem if I build to html and upload. If its in nwjs it pulls the data correct. If I try in chrome it fails.
