  • I created an webapp (just website on my server) which runs fine on Xbox One Internet Explorer and supports Gamepad.

    It has a few issues with ultrafast triggering on some events.

    It would be great to be able to create fully supported Xbox One Apps/Games.

  • I did not use Intel XDK yet. Did anyone already use it and does Windows 8 work on Windows Phone? (8.1)

  • Ads for Winphone 8.1 (universal) would be great. Any ideas?

  • Problem Description

    I imported an .wav file to create a example for the black screen issue (maybe audio problem again?) -

    It worked fine in r197 but with r198 it crashes everytime.

  • I will try if I can reproduce it in a new project.

    I opened the java console in Chrome and found this when the screen was black:

  • Hi. I added a signal on loader layout complete but it does not seem to get triggered. o.O

    I added a blank condition and "On Signal" as first action and put the part for downloading update as subevent but nothing happens.

    Any suggestion how to change it so it refreshes after loading an update and contines to the next page if no update is available? I did not use signals before maybe I made a mistake.

  • Is it possible that it is a problem with the Audio plugin again? All I changed/added was a new layout and audio.

    It happens regularly on Chrome PC and Safari on iOS for me.

  • Thank you very much. In another case the error said it needs to be converted with str() or int(). Since it was a different message I forgot to use the str() command.

  • Thank you for your suggestion.

    I will try to change it for the next update.

  • Hi. I noticed that my loader layout is stuck and shows "downloading update" when you open it for the first time or after clearing your cache. If you hit F5 after a while it continues and shows the main menu without the "downloading update" message again. Is the first run triggering the "downloading update" condition? But why does it seem to be stuck forever? If a "real" update is downloaded it restarts after a moment (Refresh). Does anyone else have this problem?

    Here is my code from the loader layout, maybe something is broken there?

  • Hi. There was a problem with black screens not long ago but it was fixed (black-blank-screen-on-ios-safari-and-ie_t124081). But it seems it is back in r197 (or a different kind of the same issue)

    I added a new layout after the loader layout with just 4 simple actions.

    1. On Start of Layout: Play Audio

    2. On Touch > Go to Layout Mainmenu

    3. On Gamepad Button: Go to Layout Mainmenu (now the app knows there is a gamepad and shows gamepad buttons on the menu)

    4. Stop Audio on 2 and 3.

    But now several people and myself had a black screen with the music playing. After many (really many) reloads and clearing cache it sometimes works. But most times its just black.

  • Hi. I am looking for something similar to simulate a click. I dont need to register if something was clicked, I need to let the app click on an object even if the user did not click.

    I need this for my latest "The Escapists Companion App" when running on Xbox One (snapped in Internet Explorer). There is a Searchbox where you can search for crafting recipes but when I use "Set Focus" to the input object it only puts the cursor there but does not show the onscreen keyboard until you press the A button on your gamepad. So I need to simulate pressing the A Button/clicking on the input object to show up the onscreen keyboard to let the users search immediately when they Hit the X Button (used to set focus right now).

    Is this possible?

  • Hi! After trying some things I think I found a solution. There may be many ways to improve it but it works for now.

    I added a Dictionary object to remove duplicates (full text search in array finds the word in itemname, parts, description and would show multiple buttons for the same item). If anyone knows a better/faster way to do this I would be glad to hear about it.

    Maybe someone else can need this for a future project. Here is the code:

  • Nice, is it possible to post a capx or see it in an online demo?
