The people who visit w3shools I can guarantee are more related than other available statistics in terms of users who'll actually dedicate time to playing online games.

Also, here's another one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_shar ... b_browsers http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-brow ... 807-201406

Which shows a similar percentage. Double, I grant that, but shows that, simply, the majority of users do NOT use Internet Explorer.

I still don't understand why going through the trouble of supporting Internet Explorer will actually result in any gain in terms of a computer gaming audience, but that's just me. I'll do it my way, and you can do it yours. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Beaverlicious newt what they said.

ggibson1 rho Market share? "most people do not bother switching browsers"? Here are actual usage statistics: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Perhaps if you are marketing some sort of useful application, yeah. But absolutely making sure there is IE support in a game? I'm extremely skeptical. The majority of people who don't switch are either the technologically inept (usually older folks) who wouldn't play your game anyway, let alone even know what online multiplayer games are, or are stuck on computers locked to one browser (and thus somewhere where they won't be playing games nearly as often). Even the schools I went to (highschool, and now college) installed at LEAST Firefox if not Chrome on the computers there. Even the crappy laptop I use while I'm at my scheduling job. Chrome.

I understand browser applications that companies use. My father works in IT, and the browser applications are limited to support under a specific version Internet Explorer. I get that. But this isn't nearly as applicable to video games, which you won't find the IT dept. installing.

"Should of been" actually makes no sense, and is incorrect. I think it comes from people trying to say "should've been" (and while should've I believe isn't an official word/contraction, it should be, and people use it like one) because if you've got an accent or aren't pronouncing it properly, those "similar phrases" come into play, like the aforementioned "should of been." Typing it is even worse, but understandable. Sometimes people type like they talk, and hence these slang forms come along.

At least, that's my take on it. I don't know for sure, but it makes sense to me.

Tl:dr, "should have been" is the most correct English phrase.

So, any ideas? Ashley maybe? Should I make a feature request? I cannot imagine it would be that difficult. I see this as a feature with many uses were we to allow users to load many other kinds of files rather than just simple graphics.

Is there any way that we can use the file chooser plugin in order to load an audio file into a game and play said audio file using the audio plugin? I would like to create something of an audio visualizer, and so I need access to the effects in the plugin. I am willing to figure out a way to filter results to only the audio playable on a particular platform, but this is the only way to even create a visualizer program in Construct 2, so the requirement is non-negotiable.

Alternatively, I would be interested in a plugin that does this and has an analyzer akin to the audio plugin that comes with C2.

Even if you don't know, I would still appreciate a point in the right direction.

Thanks!

people are usually unaware how easy it is to get all their assets from simple html5 page. And they usually do everything to promote their stuff.

shinkan If someone is intent on illegally using someone else's work, they are going to, whether it is yours or another developer's. Just look at GBA game asset rips. They're everywhere! Providing a game demo where people may be able to rip your assets in particular is not going to change anything. They aren't going to decide to not buy assets just because they can illegally use them because they most likely would not have bought them in the first place.

If you see someone using your work, you can request that they provide proof that have purchased some sort of license for your content. If they refuse, or can't, that's what lawyers are for.

What if multiple users are allowed to flag posts, but by at least 5 posts, said post/thread automatically is hidden goes into a que until moderator approval. That way, some of us who are more diligent in reporting can have an impact without having to wait for moderators. That or grant this small privilege of forcing thread approval to a select few users. They'd be like Mods but with but one small power, and easily manageable.

There have been a few times where I've seen like 15 of these threads all in a row, watching them as they are posted by using the "new posts" search function, and all I can do it stare. [edit] And report, obviously.

use the right tool for the right job, and use what you know best to achieve what you want. And do not be afraid to switch tools if it makes sense and saves you frustration.

These X vs Y vs Z comparisons have proven themselves to be a bit pointless and fruitless.

Rayek Thank you, I will be saving this quote for the future. I can never quite understand why people take it upon themselves to compare these engines. They are all built in some way that exceeds the strength of the others in that area and thus must be treated as so.

Please see:

These are probably projects that need to be re-compiled using the latest C2 and then reuploaded.

Edit: Ashley can probably clarify.

Suggestions: format your body of text; use forum code to make it look more interesting to the eye, and combine sentences into paragraphs. Do not use line breaks unless needed to separate different kinds of information.

[quote:3tly0wt0]Yeah, Action Gamemaster izze good game. However, it needs more cats and it needs to be moved in the main game so it can be longer.

Right now, when I click your forum post, I see one large body of text. Many readers will simply leave the page as they don't want to have to sort through all of that text.

Also use a few screenshots. Maybe some art. Something to give your reader other than one large block of text.

Aphrodite I realized I never replied. Thanks for tip. I will await a fix. : )
