  • Hi. I want to add different templates for spawned enemies to have different shapes like V or a straight line or a circle in a sidescrolling game.

    I found a template that uses invisible spawn points for random enemy spawning but nothing for shapes yet.

    So the basic idea is to add spawnpoint_circle in a circle shape and then spawn enemies for all points and then add spawnpoint_line to the layout and select randomly between the different kinds of spawnpoints to start spawning your enemies in a shape. Or is there another/better way to do this?

  • I use AJAX to load Textfiles with the lang strings and tokenat loops to put the strings in an array or dictionary.

    Textfile looks like this:

    English.txt

    YESButton=Yes

    German.txt

    YESButton=Ja

    and then I use the data in the array/dictionary to SetText on Startup.

  • Hi. Ads are still not working and showing an error when I preview it.

    Same for the multiple languages in the store. But I got a few new hints how it might work and I will have to test them.

    I created a new topic for the ads here:

  • Hi! I exported my app from Construct 2 and installed the Ad SDK for Visual Studio but when I preview the app I get this error:

    APPHOST9623: "ms-appx://xxxxxxx-soft.xxxappname/Microsoft.Advertising.JavaScript/ad.js" konnte von der App aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht aufgelöst werden: DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.

    I tried to enable the ad SDK (was disabled by default) in Visual Studio but it shows the same error. Even when I move the "Show Banner" action on the second layout the error appears immediately when the preview in visual studio starts.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    PS: Is it possible to use the same banner sizes from PC/Tablet on Mobile since you cant add 2 PubCenter objects for mobile and pc/tablet (they have different banner sizes).

  • Thanks. I created the ad and entered the values and enabled the ad sdk in visual studio but its still not working and showing the error. I asked on the Microsoft help forums but they told me to ask in the scirra forums because its exported with Construct 2.

  • Hi. Is it possible to use the Microsoft tools for Windows apps to see detailed stats about your apps/games from the Windows store?

  • Microsoft Advertising SDK is installed and I entered the two values for the pubcenter plugin but it shows the "data not available" error. Any ideas what could be wrong?

    I moved the on start of layout > show banner to the second layout but immediately when I preview my app it shows the error:

    APPHOST9623: "ms-appx://xxx-xxxxxxxxxx/Microsoft.Advertising.JavaScript/ad.js" konnte von der App aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht aufgelöst werden: DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.

    And I checked again and you are right, you cant add a second PubCenter plugin. But Banner sizes are different for mobile so it would be really useful to be able to use more than one ad ID from pubcenter to show different ads on PC and mobile. Or can I just show the (wrong sized) pc banners on a phone?

  • anyone else tried this or is it possible to fix/add this Ashley?

    Thanks for the link. I created the banner in the dev Center. I will look again and try to find if "Microsoft Advertising libraries" are installed in Visual Studio.

  • Hi! Visual Studio seems to work now (just Ads dont show up) but I am still looking for any hints how to set the language to English and German and let the app appear with the proper localized name in the store. Any ideas how to do this for Win10 Universal apps?

  • Hi. Is it possible to add the pubcenter plugin twice and add the IDs for mobile and tablet/pc in each of them?

    I tried to preview my export in Visual Studio but I get this error:

    APPHOST9623: "ms-appx://xxxxxxx-soft.xxxappname/Microsoft.Advertising.JavaScript/ad.js" konnte von der App aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht aufgelöst werden: DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE.

    any ideas how to fix this?

  • It seems there are still some audio issues in Edge with the latest stable build r216. Sounds work fine so far but the music is not playing in most cases (with and without preloading on a layout before). Has anyone else still problems with music in Edge?

  • Hi. Does anyone know if or how "optgroup" can be used for Dropdown lists in Construct 2?

    Example HTML: 

    <optgroup label="** SPECIAL EVENT **">
<option value="Special Racing League">Special Racing League</option>
</optgroup>[/code:2d88ndyk]
