On that note, a useful tool right now for everyone searching the forums for links and such. The wayback machine, like google cache, except you can choose the date of the snapshot. Interesting to see how the website looked back in 2008, lol.

I think this one is already known, right?

Anyway, an "add image to post" would be awesome after uploading an image.

WebWiz -> PHPBB -> Custom

Custom? But why? Don't get me wrong, it's cool to do your custom stuff. I often do that myself, but sometimes it seems to be a case of "reinventing the wheel". Often you will have to solve problems that are already solved in established products.

I can agree with you, construct is very nice to pick up. But...

all you have to do is include the layout layer and walla

It´s voilà... you really made me laugh >:D

You call the function after you requested the file via AJAX, but AJAX might take a moment to complete. So you call the function before the arrays are loaded. Put the function fall below "Load from JSON string" inside the On "INV" completed.

Well, here´s my attempt. You do have to fake some stuff, and that usually comes with tradeoffs. So if you want a globe just like google earth, you won´t get around using something like threejs. If you are ok with the tradeoffs, you can fake it. Now I don´t know what you intend to create, but if it´s not crucial, you should consider changing it to something that works fine in 2D and doesn´t require too much faking or third party libraries, it will safe you a lot of headaches.

I think what you want to do isn´t really all that doable with native construct, since construct is simply not a 3D engine. I mean it is possible with css/javascript, but at that it doesn´t run all that effective.

The closest solution might actually be what you did

A layer with a map image, with a Bulge effect, not so high on the scale as quality gets degraded no matter the image resolution; A layer on top with a white circle. "Source in" on the the bottom layer and "Destination in" on the top layer. This "works" to some extent but it never quite feels like a globe when moving it around with the mouse, it just feels like moving a map around inside a circle

You actually got me curious about that idea, I might give it a shot. I think there might be some tricks I can use (in terms of design/art) to help faciliate a better perception of a globe and not a circle. I´ll post here if I got something. :)

You gotta upload the image though :) After upload it shows something like

Copy that ID and insert it like this

[*img=4127]

Hmm, ohhh I misread that a little, instead of using "for each X element" use "for each X,Y element". If that doesn´t solve it... hard to tell what´s wrong without seeing the rest of the code/project.

The custom movement behavior has a "push out of solid". What´s exactly the case? Slow push out/instant push out, is it supposed to overlap in the first place or do you want to prevent that completely?

Possible, yeah. But it´s one hell of a task, if you don´t have a dedicated team and already good knowledge about construct/networking I´d steer away from that idea.
