Hi @enpu

In the latest beta, I can't seem to be able to select any of the modules or classes in the left column. Also, clicking modules just displays an empty column.

I'm using Windows 10.

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what you mean by this, can you show screenshot of the issue?

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

I'm actually trying to do this now, but can't figure out how to take a screenshot on Win 10 lol.

My keyboard doesn't have a print screen button hahah.

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

Here is a screen of what I see. The index.html file is automatically loaded, and I can't select and open any other files.

I can toggle the modules button to display both modules and classes, but now modules only, like you could previously.

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

Do you need any other info from me on this issue? I haven't had a chance to try on Mac, but something is definitely broken on the Windows beta.

Thank you!

[pstrejczek]

@Ninjadoodle I'm using the beta on Mac (OSX 10.13.6) and have no such problems. Haven't tried on Windows though. I will try tomorrow on my Window 10 machine.

[pstrejczek]

I have tried the beta on my Win10 machine and it works ok. Maybe it is somehow related to the project? @Ninjadoodle have you tried opening some other projects?

[enpu]

@Ninjadoodle This should be now fixed. Can you try new beta-4 version?

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

Sorry, but still the same thing for me - can't select and open any modules or classes.

When I try to create a new project, it fails and tell me 'No html file found from folder.'

Also, now the modules button is gone and I only see a files button. I see all my files when I press it, but can't open them

*** EDIT - when I browse the files and go inside the src folder, I can open them, but not when I see the modules etc by default ***

 

[enpu]

Ah yes, now i'm able to reproduce both issues. They seem to be Windows only. Will fix them asap!

[Wolfsbane]

Aaw, now I want to be able to ctlt+click on the the main.js, and have it open. (It's ok, I'm just spoilt)

Also, I have the same issue as Ninja, I've opened my project, but I'm unable to select the items on the side.

(Pressing the Button asset no longer jumps me to the Button object).

This is in Windows, although I'm not sure if that should be relevant? I've got an ubuntu VM I can kick open to see if it's got the same issue.

The ctrl+click on the art assets opening them in an editor is great! +1.

..and just noticed Enpu is already onto the fix. Cheers!

 

[enpu]

Windows issues should be now fixed on beta-5

Please test and give me feedback, thanks

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

Awesome, works flawlessly now

One thing I've noticed, is that you removed the button with which you could toggle between modules and modules + classes.

Sometimes, when looking at my code, I like displaying only the modules as it's a cleaner way of displaying all my levels etc.

Any chance this could be added back in?

Thank you!!

There were no such view as "modules + classes", it was only modules or classes.

Since modules are exactly same thing as a single JavaScript file, which you can now see from files sidebar, i though that there was really no reason to have a sidebar that only shows modules anymore, because the view would be almost same as the files.

But... in your case when you have multiple projects in same folder with lots of modules, it would actually make sense. So yeah, i will take a look to see how easy would it be to add it back, maybe put it in settings so you can toggle it on and off, because i thinks it's not really useful on most projects and makes it just more complicated and maybe confusing.

 

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

If it's too annoying to add this that I wouldn't worry about it - thank you for the consideration

I just find it a bit cleaner to look at when I have let's say 40 level modules.

[pstrejczek]

I would also vote for bringing back the modules list. I got used to it and it helped a lot with navigating the project.

[Ninjadoodle]

@enpu

I just noticed something else. I have a bunch of modules included in my project and all of them but one, show in the left bar.

For some reason 'objects' is missing ...

game.module(
    'game.mainR1'
)
.require(
    'game.menu',
    'game.objects',
    // ***********
    // * ROUND 1 *
    // ***********
    'game.stage01',
    'game.stage02',
    'game.stage03',
    'game.stage04',
    'game.stage05',
    'game.stage06',
    'game.stage07',
    'game.stage08',
    'game.stage09',
    'game.stage10',
    'game.stage11',
    'game.stage12',
    'game.stage13',
    'game.stage14',
    'game.stage15',
    'game.stage16',
    'game.stage17',
    'game.stage18',
    'game.stage19',
    'game.stage20',
    'game.won',
    // ***********
    // * PLUGINS *
    // ***********
    'plugin.essentials',
    'plugin.instantgames'
)
.body(function() {

// CONFIG
game.config.name = 'Shurizzle - Round 1';
game.config.start = 'Stage01';
game.config.storage.id = 'shurizzleR1';
game.config.system.startScene = 'MainR1';

game.createScene('MainR1', {
    init: function() {
        game.system.setScene('Menu');
    }
});

});

Also, when loading a version of my game with all levels included, it seems to be loading the wrong 'main' file ...

The index for the projects is this ...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Panda 2</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="src/engine/core.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="src/game/config.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="src/game/main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Yes, the project is loading 'mainR1' which only includes a portion of the levels.

Please let me know if you need me to send you a project etc.

Thank you!

I can't reproduce this with the project that you sent. Are you sure you are loading correct html file?

Can you tell me exact steps how to reproduce that issue?

There are files or classes in the sidebar, so are you missing "objects.js" file when viewing files in the sidebar?

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

Nope the file is there when I browse to the src folder. It doesn’t show up in the modules/classes list.

What do you mean by modules list?

[Ninjadoodle]

Hi @enpu

I’m probably using the wrong terminology - I mean in the left column where you see the classes etc. and modules with the little play buttons beside them.

[enpu]

Yeah those are all classes, not modules. So what are you missing there?

[Ninjadoodle]

@enpu Sorry about the confusion  Im missing the objects class, it used to show up before the beta.
