    I managed to reproduce this with 2 clients. One of them updates property. Other leaves and fails to create room then. Please report detailed reproduction steps next time.

    Workaround switching properties back and forth before room creation should work while the issue is being fixed.

    Can you clarify this fix? Switching which properties back and forth?

  • ThePhotons I'm running into the same issue as Badmiracle, with the exact same use case. If I leave the room visible/open, all is fine. If I change open state, I get what Photon is reporting as Error -2, with the message "Invalid type for property isOpen. Expected type System.Boolean but is System.Double."

  • The effect seems to break a bit when an object has its transparency manipulated - is it rendering the alpha properly? When applied to a layer, the edges of objects (sprites, Paster objects, etc.) show up, even though they're either 1) fully transparent or 2) solid black with their blend mode set to additive, which should render as transparent.

  • Welp, they've already approved my C2-based game for XBox One release, and I put their logo in the trailer, so...yeah. That'd be pretty cool.

  • ThePhotons Yeah, I've noticed it's a bit unreliable to just set it to the player with the lowest actorID. I've run into issues with it properly reassigning the master (to a room property) when a player shuts the game down without leaving the room. I'll try 2dgamedev suggestion, that sounds like it might be more reliable.

    ThePhotons is there any kind of timetable for adding the check for the master client to the javascript client?

  • ThePhotons is there a way to check who the master peer is at any time? I noticed the Unity Photon docs have PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient but I don't see an equivalent for C2.

  • &ThePhotons Do you not have a Marco Polo Tutorial for Construct 2? Like you guys have for Unity?

    Im struggling to sync objects created by the master. ( Host ) Any advice?

    Im using pathfinding and getting them to sync is a NIGHTMARE! Thanks in advance.

    How are you tracking which peer is the master/Host? I see that in the Photon docs but I don't see an even/action for it in the C2 plugin. Maybe I missed it? Or did you just create a room property?

  • ThePhotons I will post it once i can get the performance beter. Sending across 50 objects X & Y for the non host to sync is difficult without lag. I might have to add some interpolation to get that smoothed out.

    What would you advise for something like that? Send over X, Y for 30 Plus objects every 1 0r 2 secs?

    Strange thing is using the construct MP plugin i dont have that problem but it doesnt support IOS .

    It's better to send state changes than X/Y coordinates where possible. You mentioned you're using the pathfinding plugin, so doing something like syncing starting x/y, speed, angle, then sending another event when the object reaches the next pathfinding node with those same values, should send a lot less data and get things synced up faster.

  • I have a plan to make a videogame that might possibly get Greenlit - the question is : what possible troubles can I face while getting the .exe generated by NW.js to match Steam Store requirements?

    Thanx a lot!!

    None.

    I'd also like to know that.. even if there was a way to test it on your PC and make it run as it would on an Wii U, it would be perfect. Since Nintendo opened up the dev registration for everyone I became one, but buying a dev kit is just too expensive for me.. I haven't read anything about leasing on their site though.

    No, there's no good way to do this. The Nintendo Web Framework is specific to the Wii U.

    I dont get the secrecy on a question like that. You do need the dev kit to test the game on Wii U hardware. A retail console wont work.

    There isn't any reason for the answer to this question to be considered behind the NOA NDA. There's no connection whatsoever, and the information has been posted publicly by Nintendo.

    So, to answer the original question by bpetersen, Nintendo has a couple of options (posted publicly) for Wii U development kits. There's two models, and the less expensive model can be used for C2 development - the other one is geared more towards Unity or full-fledged 3D game development. The only way to reliably test games is on the development hardware Nintendo provides. They previously offered a leasing program for the development kits, though I'm not sure they still do (and that information is no longer posted publicly), but in all honesty, I wouldn't bother - the NX will be out in less than a year and seems like it will be far more capable in terms of what's possible with C2 on Nintendo platforms. The state of C2 development on Wii U is poor, though this is not the fault of Scirra or C2 (the exact reasons why are, sadly, behind NDA).

    There's information related to using the Nintendo Web Framework (also public) in this Reddit thread that may be of use: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/commen ... ng_for_it/

    And just to be safe, in case the info is covered by Scirra's NDA (it's not covered by mine, but the info is no longer public on Nintendo's developer site), if you just search for "Wii U Dev Kits" you can get more information on the differences between Wii U dev kit models.

  • No, we've asked Microsoft a couple of times now, they are still not responding to us. This is pretty typical of large companies in my experience. Hopefully we will get through eventually.

    Just stopped by here to check the status on this myself. They've already approved my C2-based game for release on XB1, so I'm reaching out to see if the MS reps who helped with that can look into if there's a way to speed up the process and my producer says he knows someone in the tools group to also contact. I'm not under the impression that anyone over there likes the weird holdups either. What's a good way to shoot contacts over to you, the support email?
