  • Everyone would have switched to Unity or GMS if it were that easy. Thing is...how many of us can create games of the same calibur using them? If you don't know C# or JS then it will be years before you can even begin making decent games in Unity. Even then I find the workflow to be completely bonkers in comparison. Seriously - go check out how to create and animate a simple sprite-based game character. As for GM...it's an incredibly buggy and obtuse piece of software if you ask me. I am truly baffled by how popular it is.

    Frankly I (and a large portion of the community it seems) would be happy with a single native windows desktop exporter, and have no problem waiting for other native exporters down the road. This whole multi-platform craze is ridiculous and every engine out there is focusing far too much on it instead of features to make better games. HTML5 will likely never reach its full potential on consoles and mobiles anyway so forget about it already. Ya tried it, it didn't work, move on.

    Ahem..anyway..starred.

  • What the hell. Maybe it's a driver issue then? The effect was working fine in my game for over 6 months then all of a sudden it breaks and absolutely nothing I've tried fixes it. I've wasted hours!

    UPDATE: Drivers were up to date. I discovered the bug only happens while previewing the game; the exported game is fine. This is exactly what I'm seeing:

  • Problem Description

    The color replace effect is only working properly on certain frames of my sprite object despite every frame having the exact same colors. It isn't working on some tiled background objects either. I think it might be something related to the tolerance parameter because some palettes I'm trying to use do modify the sprite's colors a tiny bit. Also if I put the tolerance to, say, 100, then the colors aren't what I want but at least they work with every frame. This bug only occurs during preview, by the way.

    Attach a Capx

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105 ... orBug.capx

    Description of Capx

    Contains 1 sprite object w/ Replace Color effect that plays a new animation each second to demonstrate the bug.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    Just preview the layout and watch.

    Observed Result

    The object's red color is only replaced by green on certain animations/frames.

    Expected Result

    The object's red color should be replaced by green for all animation/frames.

    Affected Browsers

    Tried on NW, Chrome, and FireFox.

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 8.1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    Tested on 200-204.2 / Capx was built in 203.

  • People are still attempting mobile games with HTML5 / C2? Huh.

  • 1) Overlapping at offset is a very important feature.

    3) Events are read top-to-bottom and event order is more important than a lot of people think. Perhaps that's the real issue?

    Proper bug reports should be made.

  • I thought it was common knowledge that things work a little differently on export. So technically we've all been doing the bug report. For a long time.

  • Geez. You might just want to consider smaller areas if not for performance gains. I've seen and made many large megaman / metroid type areas before and 10% was too far out lol.

    On that note...faster scrolling while dragging is definitely needed, and being able to "find" objects like in Unity would be great as well. (select object > press F > camera pans to object)

  • Y'know if we quit using behaviors and taught people to use events to write their own, as it should be, then everyone could do this and much, much more themselves. And learn quite a few things in the process. Juuust saying.

  • Lots of other engines have this feature, or, rather, allow you to write it yourself. You'd have to go very, very far out of your way to do that in C2 though.

    Perhaps it's more difficult to add than we think. It's been a request for over 2 years now and no word from Ashley.

    Either way, it'd definitely come in handy.
