FC-2 Fan Preview launched

[portgoose]

I think that the biggest strength of FC2 is the new capabilities produces by the level editor. The ability to use design pieces in levels is just pure amazingness.

I don't think I'm the only person who wants to congratulate InXile on their excellent work on FC2 so far!

Well, I can't play it. I go to the site, I created a Sparkworks ID, then I just go to that site again when I'm logged in and cannot find an option to play.... o,0 Help pleasE?

[Hero88go]

Squrl, log in with your FC Info <_<

[squrl]

I tired that too, but it says invalid, and not enough characters, because it has to be six...

[squrl]

I also just found out the my sparkworkz and Fantastic contraption user name and password are the same so...
And I AM logged in on Spawkwrokz but on the site it still shows the same page saying I need to log in to sparkworkz and pay for the full game on Fantastic Contraption..

[resetxc]

perhaps this could be an announcement rather than in the dev dish?

[squrl]

Awe, when I saw someone commented, I thought you would have a solution to my problem.

[squrl]

This is dumb. Now I can not even play the original Fantastic Contraption because it says I am not a paid member! Ridiculous if I must say.
Well got to go to bed now. Better be fixed by tomorrow.

Hey, Does FC2 forums and design sharing stuff lag a bunch for you guys too?

[zhyrek]

What happened to multiple build areas?

Awe, when I saw someone commented, I thought you would have a solution to my problem.

Sorry Squrl, I'll look into this tomorrow morning, not at work right now.

Figure 1. Stages of AMAZEMENT

Small problem, you might have done something with the database, changed my password recently, the sparkzworkz account uses my old one.

#1 I will bring up with Sean. We can't get rid of the ads entirely. However bringing them up every time is definitely overkill and I will talk to Sean about it. Obviously the paid version of FC-2 will not have ads, in addition to having a larger game play area.

I don't use adblock, and I don't mind sitting through an ad once. But I don't have the patience to sit through an ad every time I click a link.

No, I totally get you. That link wasn't really directed at you, more for others who want ads to be gone entirely.

Jared

This is great news, I know that i myself would pay a bit more if it meant a bigger screen with no ads

why does the last piece you placed or moved flash?

[Poots]

why does the last piece you placed or moved flash?

The flashing piece is the "selected" piece. You can copy it with "c" and paste it with "v". You can also select multiple pieces and do the same.

[JaredR26]

why does the last piece you placed or moved flash?

Poots is right about the copy and paste, but the real reason that the last piece you placed or moved is auto-selected is because you can use the arrow keys to adjust selected pieces one pixel at a time. I often use that to place or move something and then push it as close as possible to the edge. You can also do this with a joint by selecting it(move it) and then adjusting it with the arrow keys.

Can I get confirmation on whether the levels from the level contest will be included as the current "locked" levels?

I'm not sure which level contest you're referring to?

The locked levels are our unannounced official levels. As far as I know it has nothing to do with any contests. They will all be new FC-2 levels instead of older FC-1 levels.

He's talking about this:

which I think might have been in anticipation of the Prius thing at some point.

Hey Squrl, try to log in again on sparkworkz.com, using your fc info. You had two identical accounts created 1 second apart and I believe it was confusing our new system.
