  • Hi Pagr13, I'll make sure to announce here as soon as it is released.

    Regarding your inquiry about server-side app updates, with PlayFab, you have a lot of options and all those mentioned are included and can be used as well.

    However, the easiest and most common is through title data a.k.a game data, which is in the context of Construct 3, is like your own 'constant global variable'.

    For protection, the title data is read-only a.k.a constant, but you can also write/modify it through the server, if you allow it, using Cloud Script.

    Basically, to use this feature, you add the Title Manager object in your project, and get the title data.

    To write your title data, you need to go to your PlayFab console, from your studios and titles list, pick the studio and then the title (game) you want to modify, then go to the Content tab, and it will by default show the title data page, where you can finally begin writing your title data.

    The data structure is similar to writing a Construct 3 dictionary, it is a key-value pair, with the user interface being as user friendly as Construct 3's editor. And to get the value from Construct 3, you run 'Get Title Data' with the keys you want retrieved from the server.

    If you have studio-wide data in mind, there is also something called publisher data a.k.a 'studio data', which is shared among all games under a studio (You can have multiple studios). To use this feature, insert the Publisher object, and use it like the User Data and Title Manager addons.

    You can also use Cloud Script, if you like writing functions in your server to process and retrieve the data manually. And other cool cloud scripting features.

    Although, basically, the title data through the Title Manager is the easiest and most convenient way.

    There is also Mobile Firebase Config, which is specifically made for this feature, but it is a native implementation restricted to Android and iOS.

    Good luck!

  • Hi Pagr13, sorry that has happened to you. In an event of an error, a support email should have been sent to your account to resolve the issue. Have you tried checking your mailbox?

    If there is still an issue, please let me know. Or, you can also send your concern to customer support (support@constructcollection.com).

  • Hi Pagr13, you can use Firebase Remote Config or PlayFab.

  • Hi Pagr13, perhaps checking the official Construct 3 IAP object? If you are in a rush. It currently works well, if you only need the regular features.

    I currently do not have an exact release date yet, because it is still being tested. I don't really want to rush things when it comes to monetization addons, because the stakes are high. However, I will make sure to announce here as soon as it is ready, and rest assured it is currently of highest priority.

  • Pagr13, the subscription feature is based on Google's Billing SDK and Apple's IAP, which are both built-in the OS. No, you do not need additional sign-ins.

    I do need to note that since 2 weeks ago, our existing Mobile Master IAP's Android export currently only works with existing applications, as noted in the prior replies from ours. Due to deprecation of the SDK.

    However, iOS export is still up-to-date.

    A new and improved one, called Mobile Billing, is already in the testing phase, we are working on releasing it soon to replace the Mobile Master IAP, which will have new features included in the Android Billing v3 and iOS 14 Store Kit.

  • Hi Pagr13, I think you mean GDPR, CCPA and COPPA compliances. Yeah, all of the addons have them implemented. These are most commonly required in advertisements and analytics compliance.

    And, all of these compliances are all required in showing advertisements.

    And, for children apps.

  • Hi CGamez, I'll look into it if I can make an early release.

  • Hi everyone, sorry for the delays with the upcoming new addons. We're still currently working on a new website for the collection to better document the new addons and their tutorials. Afterwards, we should be able to finish and release the new addons.

    Also, I would like to announce that we will be removing the website chat payment service and its discount promo, effective September 03, 2021. However, we will still keep the support channel active.

  • Hi khampol, personally I think Microsoft funding PlayFab is a great news since the service is now free for starter games, and there is now a new premium plan that offers scaling, where they only charge you based on your amount of service usage.

    Regarding hosting your own service, there is already a built-in Construct 3 object to do that, called AJAX, where you can connect to your own server, this is all manual though since addons determining the design of servers doesn't make sense, therefore any addon is not necessary for this! Just adding more work, with no benefits. Also, since you are already writing your server-side, might as well use the scripting feature in Construct 3, to save time.

    You can find documentations of these implementations on the web, like NodeJS.

    However, recreating PlayFab features in your own server is incredibly difficult and time consuming, would usually require you a dedicated team to handling that, which is ironically significantly more expensive and time consuming than using any service. Although, if you can narrow down the features, it is possible in barebones.

    I don't think we would be making something like that any time soon. However, we do plan to add more game services like PlayFab, in the collection, in the future.

  • You guys should consider a more convenient way that customers can access updates or even make purchases. If I hadn't found a previously downloaded zip folder from months ago on an old pc with a link of this forum in the support file I would have given up trying to look and that would have been $199 wasted.

    Hi listpull, we only have two platforms that we sell the collection, one is Itch.io and another is the Construct Store. Both of which require creating an account before purchase completion, so I'm sure you already have an account for either of the two. This is a required step since we frequently update the collection because of the volatile nature of some of the addons which require frequent changes.

    If you've forgotten your account, please go to the store you've purchased the collection from and click forgot password. Then, it will make you input your email address so that it can send you the recovery link to your email account.

    If you are using a months old version of the collection, we recommend updating it now! We often update the collection and we cannot assure optimal functionality if you do not use the latest released update of the time.

  • Announcement

    Hi everyone, the latest update of the Mobile IronSource Collection has been whitelisted. You should be able to build again with the Construct 3 Build Service, with the latest IronSource Android and iOS SDK versions including each ad-network SDKs.

  • I've finished the bug report.

    Hey klabundee, don't worry about it. 🙂
