  • Do you want to scrape data into variable, or literally have the app open a web link.

    If its the latter, you just need a browser control and use Goto URL.

    If its the former, I'm not sure. I don't think that AJAX will return URL data.

    it's to get info from website.

    Ex:

    I need schedule of something from site

    So I need to get:

    time

    place

    price

    So they would be retrieved as 3 columns (time, place, price) and as many rows as listed on the site

    then I would present them in the app more "aesthetically"

  • is it even possible in construct?

    i just want to make an app that gets info from website for personal use (convenience/laziness) so I won't have to open my browser, go to website, press buttons, etc. I only just have to open my app instead

  • I'm talking about removing background color of spritesheets (limited to 256 colors), not the high resolution or 3D models.

    What I meant by "sprites" are the retro type graphics like Mario Bros or Pokemon GameBoy sprites, not the sprite object type in C2.

    What I used to do was use Photoshop's Indexed color mode and select the spritesheet color as the last (bottomright box) so Photoshop will know that color is the background color. I know how to do it in GIMP too (using Alpha) but I was just asking for a lightweight software that's easy on memory

    Already tried clippingmagic before I posted here.

    Edit:

    I'll try to post a screenshot of what exactly I'm talking about (in Photoshop) later.

  • TheDom

    not exactly helpful suggestion. Of course I already did that. Even typing "software" among the search keywords brings me websites not software and these websites are for removing backgrounds of pictures of people, things, etc, I tried them and they leave blurry around the edges of 24 bit sprites.

    I need something like Photoshop's indexed color option that recognizes 1 color as background color then remove it in one go.

    GIMP is also still too memory-hugging.

    I need a quick software because this (removing background from sprites) is the only function I need.

  • That tutorial is just basic, I already know that. Can you help me? I'm trying to use a timer (or I think I need to use a timer) but I can't quite get the gist of the logic/flow of the algorithm I need for this situation.

    Do I need a timer to calculate a double tap (and not use the built-in double tap condition)?

  • How do I do this ?

    hold tap on WalkButtonObject

    -> player walks continuously until I release the hold on WalkButtonObject

    Double tap (but second tap is hold) on WalkButtonObject

    -> player runs continously until I release the hold on WalkButtonObject

    I'm kind of new to using touch but I have spent the last 2 days trying all the Touch conditions and still can't get it to work. Sorry I had to ask now, getting desperate already

  • Hi, I am using sprites (the game graphics, not the object type in C2) and I was wondering what is a good lightweight freeware that can be used to quickly remove sprite background then save as png (with transparent background)? I use photoshop/GIMP but it's too heavy on memory. I also want a program instead of website because I usually work on a pc that's offline.

    Are there any suggestions for programs to do this specific task that's easy on the memory and free to use?

    At first read, I understood your post as referring to running the "command prompt" that's why I asked what code to input into DOS. Now, after reading it again, I get it now that you're referring to "Run".

    Sorry for that and thanks for suggestions.

    I deleted all files in all 3 folders but it doesn't show the sprite graphic in original size. I'll try the other options now.

  • Thanks for the suggestions and help, everyone. As of the moment, I cut it into pieces but I kept a copy of the original whole sprite

    how do you do the run command you're suggesting?

  • I got it to work (at times) although it takes a while and it lags (when it did load successfully).

    I have a question:

    There is always a message appearing in firefox mobile that says

    "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."

    Script: http:/[insert my LAN adress here]:50000/Sprite_plugin.js:79

    [] Don't ask me again.

    Stop script Continue

    Edit:

    Tried it again and the "Sprite plugin 79" is replaced by "common prelude js 48" or "eveng js 2031"

    No idea what they mean

    Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't. What is the 79 there supposed to mean?

  • Is anyone seeing the sprite object properly (original size) in the layout? Am I the only one with this problem (pic in first post)?
