  • simwhi, thanks for the reply.

    I had thought about creating my own config file!

    But I'd still be interested to see what Ashley thinks. After all, if you just need to recreate the config file anyway, then why have it in the export in the first place?

    Also Tom 's tutorial re submitting to appBackr, doesn't mention anything about this. Does that mean lot's of us have submitted .wgt files, which won't work on Tizen?

  • Ashley, please could you offer some advice.

    I'm hoping to export some projects to Tizen via appBackr, using Tom's "Create WGT File" tutorial!

    However, I wanted to test the apps before submitting to appBackr. So I've also worked through your tutorial, for exporting to Tizen!

    Unfortunately every time I've tried to run the project through the SDK, I receive an error on the C2 generated config file. But If I copy across everything except for the C2 generated config file, the project seems to work!

    Does this indicate a problem with the C2 generated config file, or a bug in the Tizen SDK? Does appBackr, make any changes to the config on their end, is this why it doesn't seem to work initially?

    I'm happy to submit my .wgt files to appBackr! But I wanted to make sure everything is working properly, before I do!

    Thanks for reading this, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

  • Joannesalfa, I agree it would be good to hear a little more information from appbackr about what they can do for us!

    Their terms and conditions are worth reading see here

    Section 5.2 - states that you are granting them a non-exclusive license to distribute your app.

    Section 6.3 - states that you remain the owner of all rights (including intellectual property) to your app.

    Section 3.4 - mentions the commission that appBackr receives for their services.

    I'm most interested in section 3.4. I've read that appBackr charges 10% for their services, but I'm still not completely sure what those services are.

    If we are paying the 10% for appBackr to actively promote our apps, leading to the possibility of many more downloads, then I'd say it's a worthwhile investment. If however, we're charged 10% just for hosting our apps on their website, then this doesn't seem like such a good deal!

    It would be interesting to get some further clarification on these points, appbackr?

  • BAnyBudde, no problem, glad I could help :)

    Sorry but I don't have any experience of using IAP on Tizen yet! I was planning on getting some apps onto the platform, then updating with IAP later!

    Hopefully someone else may be able to advise you!

  • BAnyBudde,

    There's a new tutorial from Ashley How to export to Tizen

    I experienced some problems when using the C2 generated config file though!

    You can create a test project in the SDK, use the config file from that, and it seems to work!

    Hope that helps :)

  • szymek, thanks for the info.

    When I saw the tutorial "Create WGT File", I was really pleased, as it made everything seem so easy!

    It will be a real shame if we all miss out on the chance to enter the Tizen competition, because of this 1 problem :(

    But the deadline is fast approaching, so I really hope they can come up with some further advice soon!

  • Hey everyone,

    Was looking for a bit of advice regarding Tizen builds!

    I've added the changes Ashley suggested (e.g. Browsers 'On back button' & 'Lock orientation') to our apps. But seeing some of your comments, has made me doubt whether these actually work!

    We're using Win 8 machine, and haven't had any luck installing the Tizen SDK yet, so we've been unable to test!

    We know they run pretty well on other platforms, so performance is not too much of an issue! But its important for us to make sure the additions we've made will work, and the apps look right, before submitting to appBackr!

    Can anyone confirm these additions work, Tobye, thehen, szymek, sosensible?

    Thanks for the help :)

  • szymek,

    I strongly believe that C2 has the power to produce the types of games you are talking about!

    However, to achieve this, it needs the right support from others, like Ludei (which is currently lacking)! I just hope that support is improved soon!

  • szymek

    I really enjoy developing in C2, and would like to stick with it if possible! I just hope things improve soon, or we may be forced to look for alternatives.

    However, as Joannesalfa mentioned, that's a little off topic for this thread!

    :)

  • We really sympathise with everyone's frustrations!

    Over the last few months, we've been waiting and hoping that CocoonJS would improve, but still no sign of this yet!

    Version 1.4 was supposed to be the turning point, but everything just seemed to get worse after this update!

    As the only viable option for mobile exports (at the moment), we are left waiting around for Ludei updates and fixes! But (despite a much larger staff base than C2, and recent funding deal for 1.5 million) these are often very slow in coming!

    We love making games, and don't wish to sound mercenary! But (like everyone else) we have bills to pay, and we need to make a regular income! However, due to the problems mentioned above, we feel like we're trapped in a vicious circle and can't move forward!

    We're really hoping the situation changes for the better soon!

  • Fantastic news thehen, the #1 spot, congratulations!

  • jhonnel09,

    You need to create a global variable, to determine whether you music is in its on/off state (i.e. on=0, off=1).

    You can save your variable using WebStorage.

    When your project starts, check to see if the variable is 0 or 1, and use this to determine whether the music should be on or off!

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi wizaerd,

    Afaik, installing a beta will overwrite the version you already have. So unless you have a partition, or you can install on a second machine, it will probably overwrite your stable version.

    Having said that, you could install the beta, and make a copy of your project before opening it. That way you've always got the original to revert to if there are any problems. And if you don't like the new beta, you can just roll back to an older, more stable version.

    Hope that helped.
