  For a large project I would suggest saving it as a folder project and then using GitHub as source control. Using GitHub is typically used for teams, but even if you're a solo developer, it provides great tools like reviewing and reverting changes that can be really handy. It also acts as a cloud save service which means you can easily work on multiple devices and also acts as an additional cloud backup to help keep your work safe. And of course if you want to get anyone else involved, it's already set up for collaboration.

  I still don't see why you can't just send a message. Send what the alias would be when someone joins. That sounds like problem solved to me.

  You can do this with the Windows WebView2 export option, which I'd recommend as NW.js is now deprecated. Start with the Camera input example, add the File System object, and you should be able to then save a snap to a folder like "<documents>" (see the File System documentation).

  If you add object type (touch) to the multiplayer addon example, you will get a red screen error unconditionally.

  I tried this in both the latest stable release and latest beta release and it seemed to work fine for me.

  This is very common when people try to report issues to the forum like this, and it's why we've designed a bug report process and set of guidelines to make sure we can properly investigate reports, so please file an issue here following the guidelines.

  I'm afraid it's not possible to help with reports like this. If you run in to a problem please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.

  The message says the addon was made by Exit Games, so that would be who you need to contact for support with that addon. Wherever you got the addon from, go back there and ask them for support.

  It should work - it's what the built-in addons do. Can you share a sample addon demonstrating the problem? It would be best to file an issue if it's not working as expected.

  The error message is "out of memory". It could well be that you've designed your project to use too much memory - see Memory usage.

  I don't see why you have to put that information in the alias. You could just send it as a message instead.

  Going by the email address in your profile, it looks like you emailed us on four occasions since December. In all four cases it appears we already responded. In the most recent case you emailed us on a Saturday; in the UK where we are based usually no businesses are open and running on Saturdays or Sundays, and we responded today (Monday), the first working day since you sent your message.

  Your .c3addon file is not set up correctly: Construct expects to find addon.json in the root of the zip file, but it looks like everything is within a subfolder inside the zip. So as the error message says Construct is not finding addon.json.

  Please contact the addon developer for support with that.

  The SDK isn't designed to handle editor DOM customization. That is a huge can of worms that will cause all sorts of major complications.
