[Plugin] Windows Phone Updated - New Tutorial!

mertyildiran there's plenty of native wrappers, including closed-source ones like CocoonJS. Malicious script is possible in any language. It would be trivial to capture and report user login credentials using ajax with HTML/JS for example.

If security is a high concern, I suggest going through manually and ensuring it meets your standards. If there's anything in particular that you don't understand then I'd be happy to help.

thehen closed-source systems have terms of use. For example CocoonJS's Terms of Use. But your plugin has not any Terms of Use. Even so we worked on your plugin and we made some analysis. Consequently, your plugin and files in "Project" folder successfully passed from our security criterias. Woefully it was your job or Scirra's job but we did. Scirra should determine some standards for plugin developers. Thanks for your help.

mertyildiran I'm not going to rise to the bait. Feel free to put the plugin through its paces and let me know if you have any issues.

Sorry, do not misunderstand, we aren't making any accusation. These are standard procedures for developing a game. These steps were necessary provide assurance. Please forgive us.

mertyildiran no worries, I'm sure the accusatory tone was just miscommunication. I'm always happy to help if you have any further issues :)

thehen Hey! I've been using your tutorial on exporting Windows Phone 8 Apps and I've seem to hit a snag while trying to wrap everything up. For some reason I'm getting this error message when I convert all of my game's files over to the Project template you included in the Windows Phone 8 Plugin download. i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a572/brandonbmb1/Error_zps7ec16586.png

Do you know of a quick solution?

Masai hmm, that's a weird one. If you could upload the exported project and PM me a link I'll take a proper look.

thehen I'm not really certain as to why but the error suddenly stopped. I didn't make any kind of changes to the Visual Studio file or anything, I just tried to run the emulator a second time after the error and it worked. Since then I've submitted my app and am awaiting certification. :)

Masai cool - best of luck!

Thanks again for the awesome plugin and support!

thehen hello again :)

I have a question about sounds on Windows Phone. Is there any other way to play sound or music at background without using .wav sound files. I want this because we have two x four minutes background musics on our game and this is not playing when the layout has been changed.

Here is the link to view of game: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/true-sky/e04bbcf7-a3b6-43ce-b8cd-9ba1b41a4e2f

And congratulations for Mortar Melon on Windows Phone. You have a great success, awesome.

mertyildiran I can't seem to access the link provided.

Unfortunately .wav is the only way to play audio - I tried every alternative and the XNA method only supports wav.

If you PM me an exported windows phone project (a repro if you can't share the project) then I'll take a look. If you could also post exact repro steps so I know what I'm looking for, that will also help.

Cheers!

Sorry, correct link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/true-sky/e04bbcf7-a3b6-43ce-b8cd-9ba1b41a4e2f

Thanks for reply thehen. Our issue is the size of .xap file jumps 17 mb to 90 mb when used .wav format. 90 mb is not an acceptable size for this game. So how can we place background music for this game.

I will provide a sample wp project for you very soon. Thanks again.

mertyildiran Check out the Converting audio section of my tutorial.

f you get an audio-related error, or there is a visible lag when playing audio, I recommend you convert your channels to mono, change sample rate to 22050 Hz and bit depth to 8. This will reduce audible quality, so play with these values to determine what works best for your game.

These will fix your file size issues and should fix any audio not playing issues.

Oh.. I missed this point, I will try it thanks.
