Asset extraction is possible with any game, but I do understand the notion of not wanting to have your graphics and sounds just sit there for any "noob" to grab.

I did use Enigma Virtual Box in the past (Windows only I think), which is a free program for the purpose of creating portable applications for software that usually doesn't support this (would have to be installed).

It results in one single executable file and works flawlessly as far as I can tell. Your assets won't be visible to the user and they aren't temporarily being extracted to the hdd either.

Admittedly I didn't research this for safety and it might be a bad idea for other reasons. All I can say is that I didn't get any complaints related to this so far.

Once you realise that pirates aren't your key demographic it becomes less relevant to most developers.

In other words thats income you wouldn't receive anyway.

So true! I think the concern here lies more with the openly available assets in general though.

PixelRebirth, thanks a lot for this plugin, great job!

I recently integrated Spil API into my game and found a small problem with the "Submit Awards":

runtime.js

    Acts.prototype.awardSubmit = function (type) {
        if (self.apiReady &&
            typeof self.API! == 'undefined' &&
            typeof self.API ["Award"]! == 'undefined' &&
            typeof self.API ["Award"] ["submit"] === 'function') {
            self.API ["Award"] ["submit"] ({award: type});
        }
    };[/code:2no18w6b]
this code gives a negative message "Award submitted with no value" in Test Tool.

I use a usual [b]Browser - Execute javascript[/b]:
[code:2no18w6b]"Var award = {award: 'award5'};
   
    // Submit the player's score
    GameAPI.Award.submit (award); "[/code:2no18w6b]
and it works fine but I don't understand why the similar code doesn't work into [b]runtime.js[/b], nevertheless "submit Score" works great.

[b]PixelRebirth[/b], in what could be the problem?

I haven't been involved with the development of this plugin for a while now and "submit Score" as well as "submit Awards" are functionalities that have been introduced more recently. I'm afraid you might have to consult with Spilgames about any issues that come up.

I'm not sure they have someone active here on the forums, so be sure to check out their documentation or contact their support directly.

When I was younger I used to play this game a lot

It´s free and called D.O.V.E! Mainly liked it cause of the possibility to change the weapon to backshooting

Haha, I did some of the more mediocre pixel art in this game back in the day. Nice to be reminded.

There is a sequel called DoveZ by the way, picked up a retail copy in the discount bin years ago. That one does have a consistent art style and is also worth checking out.

I totally love In The Hunt. IREM just did some amazing lookin games that were just spectacular to play. The switch from space to underwater combat was also a very cool variation.

is Dialogs.getValue not working?

That should actually work fine. Do you have a particular example where it doesn't work?

Oh, I can see what's happening there.

Javascript popups basically halt the game, so when you chain them together like this, everything happens in the same tick and the ID will not update properly.

I will see what I can do about this. For now you could add a wait action before you open the next dialog. That way the ID will update and the conditions properly trigger.

Thanks for share this plugin!

I am having an issue when I click on OK or CANCEL buttons at a CONFIRM type action, both result in a CONFIRMED condition!

I am using C2 r200!

Thanks!

Just checked for myself in a clean project and it worked fine.

Are you sure there isn't anything else going on with your events that causes this?

I guess the latest version of the API has achievements. http://www.spilgames.com/documentation/html5/award/

Any chance of getting that added to the plugin .

Unfortunately I'm not going to develop this plugin any further. Anyone is welcome to add functionalities of course.

You could add an array to the zones (container), which stores the enemy information (position, type...) on startup.

Now when a zone is entered, you can spawn the enemies from the array. Simple as that.

There might be some inconvenience because you cannot spawn objects by name, but that is something you have to work around in C2 quite regularly (there is a plugin I think it's called "nickname" that can help with that too).

Thank you for these effects! There is some very useful stuff that has been missing from C2. Great work!
