  • Just a quick question for those who tried this and Q3D as well. Does making simple 3D games is easier with Babylon3D than with Q3D? I heard that the latter made it very complicated, even more so than using a 3D engine.

    Babylon is more confusing for me since it has a different way of working with the 3d models, as simplicity and speed of scene assemble, Q3D takes the crown, however, performance wise, Babylon3D wins.

    The only "complicated" aspect of Babylon3D from my point of view, is that you need to build your entire game(models,scene etc) basically in Maya or Blender, then export that scene and call each object in C2. The update 0.3 made me more confused, i was thinking will be more like Q3D, but no, its the same as 0.2 just you can add C2 sprites, to act as placeholders, and use the C2 behaviors. Hopefully by the time of V1.0, there will be tutorials covering everything also.

    Cause ATM i have no idea what im doing.

    when i was saying simplicity wise, i was comparing the Q3D and Babylon3D with the simplicity and the way we do things in C2, Babylon takes away that simplicity, since you have to do some extra work in a 3D external editor (Maya,etc). However if you plan on doing a 3D game, you will end up modeling, so if your already modeling, i guess you can also create the entire scenes, adding the characters, walls etc there, and then export everything and load in C2 by doing that it has a sort of Simplicity by itself also, since you wont need to load every 3d object like you do with Q3D, but load directly the scene, going back to comparing it with Q3D way, and C2 way, its not like that. By the time, il play more in Babylon and learn some Maya interface, im pretty sure il be moving to Babylon for 3D, atm im still using Q3D, however are parts that i dont like about it, from modeling exporting, to manipulating meshes (which we all know its a pain unless you know what you are doing). So id give also the Crown in end to Babylon3D, plus i think i said it since i first tried Babylon, the loading and resource usage CPU/RAM/GPU wise, its not even comparable with Q3D i mean B3D is blazing fast.

  • i think so, if the canvas can be transparent, then yea.

  • You can play the game on the following link : Updated Beta V1.3. Or Click the above image.

    For mobile (Android - ARM) gameplay BottleFlip Beta V1.2 Its a bit intensive at beginning of stage 1, il do some optimization on next update.

    Power & Angle meter added, few color changing effects for each level, more furniture pieces.

    Added a few graphic elements to the loading layout and menu layout.

    New in game GUI

    Edited : v1.2.1 available, optimized the memory usage, drop'd down from initial 58 mb to 13 mb now, approx download 230kb from initial 1.3mb. mobile version updated also, reduced the screen size, from 1920x1080 to 854x480 for faster processing, before was running on 20fps, now can be seen on android 40-45 fps after first 2 seconds, android was tested on Galaxy A3 android 4.1+, while on desktop platform, shouldn't drop under 60 fps, unless its a very old one.

    Edited : v1.4 almost completed, for those who want to know when the coins are going to come in, here it is.... it has arrived

    Edited: V1.3 made it available, i switched the v.1.4 goals to v.1.3 since i worked that before the achievements, now remains to add the achievements, and after that to add the localstorage and other hud elements(i.e reset button,pause etc)

    Short Edit on V.1.3 : New slightly improved physics, reset game button added, back to menu button added, (there is a known bug where you buy a new bottle then go back to menu and the items locks back to initial status, thats why the reset button comes in place, until i fully implement the store.), Achievements options are added, however they are not working, they are there just for placeholders.

    If you played the game when it had the save feature and you are using Chrome, Clear Hosted App Data and Media Cache from Browser History - keep in mind doing so, it might cause all the games data you played on other websites to be lost, facebook games etc.

    No, just opened it.

    is that the Planet system example? i got a clear_Color error from long way back to R237 i think on that example, but for me it was because of the 1st condition being unable to clone the material for the "Sun" object.

  • I use the last r240 beta version of c2 and meet this error even if i use your examples. How to fix that? Thanks.

    did, you modified the plugin on that line? on my end the q3d examples work perfectly.

  • you could try combining the strawhat samurai fighting style with it, its basically 1vs1 combat but more intuitive hope you make it trough.

    as long as you make your own graphics and you dont really follow the exact graphics of the original, but make it so they look the same but they are not, you dont have to worry about the license, however, i seen lots of bleach games types using the original graphics, that can only mean one thing, that is the bleach creators, are giving away cheap licenses, or atleast affordable till you get big enough and you can pay it in full.

    well you need internet for downloading them in first place, ........bummer >..> i usually play casual games, tetris like, flappy bird types etc.

  • good approach, but if its already so weirdish, i wold'v taken out the back button when u over grab, and just close it as triggered when back button was pressed.

  • RTS can be done sure, here is a tutorial i found on forum RTS Tutorial, there is also a RTS example in C2 itself check it out when you press file>new>project list example. The good part with C2 is that you can virtually do almost any 2d game with it. However you might face development problems, while you clutter your event system and forget what things do if you plan in building something as large and complex as Dwarfs Fortress is. Happy Development !!

  • The PC's run fine for more than 3 years and I've never had this problem till now.

    So, the entire 3 years and more, you had the computer for ... Was Windows 8.1 installed on it?

    Also, is your Windows 8.1 with a official Microsoft license? Is Construct2 the free version or the Licensed Version? things might occur differently when software's are not the official latest release, but outdated ones.

    Are you using the standalone Construct2 downloaded from official Scirra site or the Steam version? What Construct2 Version are you using?

    The lockup thing didn't happened before, and from 3.5 millions downloads this is the first time i see this appearing in forum, im just curious about all elements, since all this elements matter into pinning down the mysterious problem.

    If all the answers to the above questions are Right(meaning=you had windows 8.1 since it was released in 2014 on this computer u are using now and never C2 did this, every software is licensed on ur computer and its not a torrented version that might cause this problem, C2 is not the steam version since the problem it can be caused by the steam playtrough feature, Construct2 version is not older then R239 since that is the official stable release.) then i have no real response to fix your issue, but instead i suggest you file this problem into a report at the Bug's Section

    If some or part of the software's you are using (windows/C2/other software you use in same time while you are working in C2) are not licensed or are from torrent downloads then i suggest get the official version of them, cause in that situation no one really can help with a official response, and you might be subject to sanctions for breaching licensing terms.

    I'm not saying you are doing something wrong or illegal, just being thorough, so me or a more experience user in this matter(more experienced users, moderators, C2 creators) can provide you with a perfect response and fix this issue that might affect us all, as well the future updates and future users of the C2 product.

    Hope you read all the above, also i hope if you found why is the problem with the lockup happening, to reply here or in the Bug's Section so the issue to be patched in the future updates. Thanks.

  • [quote:3ml9xpol]try disable ur auto update windows feature... u will see ur windows 8.1 its going to work fine for you.

    Why do you think this will work?

    because i experienced the same thing you described. and i had always this process called, windows auto update thing in task manager, and when the cpu wold spike on it or increase by 20% stuff wold start crumbling no alt+tab no ctrl+alt+delete nothing. after i researched the matter of the process a bit turned it off. and no more issues for me. and same as you i have a pretty decent new computer... built it with new cutting edge parts last year so it shouldn't happen, i wold understand if wold use the old rig, but on the new one no.

    Edit: im responding purely from my experience based on your description, as you, i own a windows 8.1 license. and for me the problem was from the auto update.

    Edit2: i should'v first ask you if the problem started from u installing the windows 8.1 on ur machine, that wold make it much easier to understand my response.

  • its not C2 its a new Trojan type of malware that lurks around internet, i got something similar also on my laptop(i wont say exactly what i did on it, but its not using C2) .. its called Windows 8 or 8.1 cant remember properly....

    just joking with the Trojan ... its a windows 8 and 8.1 problem.

    try disable ur auto update windows feature... u will see ur windows 8.1 its going to work fine for you.

    its one of windows 8.1 bug that made Microsoft skip windows 9 and went for 10 directly.

    Edited: if the windows auto update its off... then u might caught a real Trojan and now im not joking. C2 doesn't do that to ur computer lol.

  • looks great

  • Hi, Tom or Ashley not sure which should i call in on this, but i noticed, that scirra store doesn't have a capx download for the sellers own assets, for example, i want to download a game of my own so i can re-work it a bit, since i lost the original capx, but outside the generate code i cant download the versions of it.

    i dont know if this is a issue or that was mentioned before. but its a addition for store to be much faster? like adding a download button in the version area for each version, so we dont have to generate more codes for the files we need?

      Version
        capx1---Download
        capx2 ---Download
        capxN---Download

    if the request is in the wrong section im sorry, i dont know where to post it im confused since its not a real important issue or bug, but more of a feedback based request type of post, that in my opinion it wold make things much smooth and look/feel more normal.

  • Can confirm there is an issue when disabling the solid behavior while being on it (the issue being that you stay on it)

    https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjkoCSebIn9Ji1Aq6dwwy51jvSAG

    I have done a 1 event capx showing it if it can help focusing on the bug

    Step1: move with the arrow keys, you can jump if you want with the up arrow but stay between the walls

    Step2: stay on the ground, press space, all platform will turn transparent, and will lose their solid behavior, you can pass through the walls but you'll still be on the floor

    Step3: jump to see you are falling through

    C2 version 293, windows 10 x64, occurs on opera as well

    i know its not a normal fix and should not work like this, as i patched it, however its working on my side.

    patched bug the bug is due to the fact, and i might be mistaken, but C2 i think it checks for overlapping points at offset by 1 pixel, so u suddenly disabling it, it wont change the fact in C2 "eyes" u still on the platform since detection is still present. so in order to patch it, i pushed the player 1 pixel up, and gravity platform takes the obvious action.
