  • Hi. I am working on a new app for the game "The Escapists". It's like the GalCiv3 companion App but with a few new features like collecting currency to unlock extras. Its still an very early alpha and most features are missing but new content will be added soon.

    I am currently looking for ideas how to collect currency (minigame? for reading other entries in the app? for each visit?) to unlock hints and extras.

    You can find the current alpha here: http://escapists.bl4cksh33p.de

  • If that is the case I hope it will be in C3 then.

  • Hi. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to check on what layout the player is without the need to add a global variable to store the layout name in.

    Like this: X CurrentLayout="Titlescreen" >> Show BackButton

    (X = inverted)

    This would automatically show the "back" button on all layouts which are not the title screen. Would be much faster and easier for some tasks.

    /edit: oops! Just found the layout name in System > Compare two values in the System category. So never mind.

    I have this on a global event sheet included in all layouts now and it works fine:

  • Hi. The view Grid and snap to grid features are very useful but it would be great if you could add (global) guidelines which are shown as colored line to always know where some elements are or which regions are free to use. Maybe with a ruler on top and on the left side where pixels are shown and if you click you can add a new guideline and make it global or change settings via rightclick maybe?

  • Hi. After closing C2 Steam says its still running but I cant find it in my task manager to kill the process. I need to "kill" Steam to exit because C2 is stuck.

    It happens almost everytime I close C2 but I get no error from C2. But I can not restart it because Steam thinks its already running.

    How can I kill the C2 process? How is it called?

  • Chrome on iOS does not work.

  • Problem Description

    I rightclicked to close all tabs but this one (launch page of project) (maybe doublerightclicked by accident) and then I got this error:

    ---------------------------

    Construct 2 Check failure

    ---------------------------

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    Last clicked tab is NULL

    Condition: last_clicked_tabwnd != NULL

    File: MainFrm.cpp

    Line: 1924

    Function: void __cdecl CMainFrame::OnCloseAllButTab(void)

    Build: release 196.2 (64-bit) checked

    Component: Construct 2 IDE

    (Last Win32 error: 0)

    If I try to run C2 again Steam says its already running but I cant find it in my task manager. And when I try to close Steam it says I need to close C2 first.

    Whats the name of C2 in Task Manager usually?

  • Thanks for the update! It works on iOS Safari now but in PC Internet Explorer is still stuck when the loading screen has finished.

    Can anyone else test it with IE please? > http://galciv3.bl4cksh33p.de

  • Just tried it and I can't open it. It says it was saved with r196.

  • I hope it can be fixed soon. :/

    Can I just disable beta updates in Steam to get the latest stable build back and load the project even if I edited some lines with r196?

  • Nice! Hope we can see more of it soon.

  • Problem Description

    I don't know if this is just a local problem because I have only one iOS Device here, but after updating to r196 and uploading my app again it just shows a black/blank screen. I deleted all browser data on my iPhone but its still showing a black screen. It works fine on PC (Chrome+Firefox) but IE shows only the loading page and is stuck there.

    I did only change one line of code on a layout which is not loaded at startup (fixed a setX). So the only differenc is the export from r196 on the affected layout. Is there something broken?

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    Observed Result

    The screen stays black or is stuck at loading screen.

    Expected Result

    should load next layout to show intro (first run) or newspage.

  • Awesome! I wish I could make graphics like some of you do.

    Beaverlicious its a new turn based 4X strategy game from Stardock and the successor of Galactic Civilizations II, one of the best 4X games I know (with great AI).

    I published a few updates today and made many improvements. More content will be added in the next few days.

    I made already some other apps with C2 like "ESORA" (ESO Research Assistant). C2 is not just great for games.
