  • *bump* - hoping that Scirra wil update the admob plugin, so that it works with the latest update from Intel XDK.

  • — Yu Ho Do you have any news regarding your problem?

  • My problem is the same or similar.

    My problem is: banners and interstitials are not showing.

    I am using the latest version of XDK and Scirra (beta) (downloaded it 1 or 2 days ago).

    I am using the official (Scirra provided) admob plugin.

    It used to work on before, on my other 2 Play Store games.

    Something I have tried, without desired effect: downgraded "CLI" in Intel XDK from 5.x to 4.x.

  • I am looking forward to have a Scirra-made plugin that provides Google Play Game Service achievements and leaderboards to be used in Google Play (so it should be made in a way that Intel XDK recognizes it), that can:

    • display an achievement that is just achieved
    • display list of all achievements the game is offering
    • (save and) display leaderboard

    I once tried the Scirra plugin, but some things (I forgot exactly what it was) did not work as well as the plugin from Cranberrygames.

    So I used Cranberry's plugin, but I am running into problems since the Intel XDK update.

    I dislike being dependent on 3rd party plugins. It is another variable I do not need.

  • I used another layout to display achievements or leaderboards

    This article is about an example of a game being pirated in China. And how the original developer reacted to get the copy off the Chinese market place.

    I was just reading other threads on the same topic and here are some selected highlights <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    • piracy: you would not earn money from the pirates anyway
    • google play is full with reskinned direct clones
    • if other people clone your game, it means you are doing well (hooray for you^^)
    • if anyone (who is capable enough) wants to steal your assets, they will get it

  • hello,

    This topic is meant to be informal about plans from Amazon:

    "Android developers now have the option to be paid by the minute rather than by fees for in-app items."

    http://www.informationweek.com/mobile/m ... id/1321950

    "The company’s announcement states, “Many apps and games that are marked as ‘free’ turn out not to be completely free. They use in-app payments to charge you for special items or to unlock features or levels. In Underground, you will find 100% free versions of popular premium titles.”"

  • Thanks and hi to the lurkers! ^^

  • I am using Cranberry's plugin. I bought his package of plugins.

    Works, except for loading the achievements or leaderboards screen and returning to the game. Image then freezes, but game continues.

  • Here are a few topics on the same subject:

    usman Haq from what I understand: yes, but it decreases the quality and may sometimes be visible without zooming in.

    So I think this you can experiment and see if you are satisfied?

  • TinyPNG is lossy. We won't enable something like that by default, because it degrades the quality of your artwork.

    If you opt-in to PNG-8 format via the Image Format dialog in the image editor, C2 will apply similar tools to bring similar file size savings.

    Ah, I see. Thanks.

  • Has it been ever discussed or explained why C2 does not use TinyPNG or (https://pngquant.org/)?

  • Great news! I hope you will help on the plugin side and Ashley will help with the polish. (Some of the actions in your plugins don't have descriptions)

  • I am having a problem with the "phonegap game" plugin.

    Displaying achievements and leaderboards (Google Play Game Service) works fine,

    but the problem is: when I go back to the game, the game image freezes (the sounds and the actual game continues).

    So the screen is still (not updating anymore), but from the sounds, I can hear the game is still playing. Even touch input is still working.

    (My game is uploaded to the Play Store)

    Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    How can this be solved??

    edit:

    I have tested it on 2 different mobile phones, from 2 different users, with android 4+ and 5+.

    Unfortunately the display also stops refreshing (sound and game itself continues) after leaving the achievement- or leaderboard screen.
