  • Remove all ad plugins from your project.

    Install latest cocoon plugins into C2:

    https://github.com/CocoonIO/cocoon-plug ... master.zip

    Add the cocoon Admob plugin to your c2 project. Fill in the admob ids in the plugin settings. Put your admob events somewhere in your project. Export project. Upload to cocoon.io. Turn on admob in cocoon.io services. Make sure the 'admob native ads for android' is in the plugin settings. Compile apk.

    Thank you !

    Sadly, it still didn't work. Here's what I did:

    1. Removed all ad plugins.

    2. Closed C2.

    3. Installed new Cocoon plugins.

    4. Added Cocoon ads plugin to my project.

    5. added the "Load Banner Ad", "Show Banner Ad" and "Set Banner Position" actions to my "At start of Layout" event on the layout I wanted the ad to show. Set position to 0,0 just to test (don't care where it shows as long as it shows for the test). Used Google's test IDs.

    6. Exported Cordova.

    7. Updated source code in Cocoon project

    8. Activated Ad module, turning on AdMob.

    9. Added the native Admob Android plugin and the one for iOS just in case.

    10. Compiled APK

    11. Uploaded ARM7 version to Google Play store as Beta

    12. Downloaded new update.

    Ads not showing.

    At least I don't get a black screen anymore, but I don't get any ads, either <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Can nobody help?

  • Just as a sidenote: the guide for using Cocoon Ads plugin says I must be using Atomic plugins, but it doesn't say where to put them or how to implement them (in Construct 2? In Cocoon?).

    It may or may not be that, but that's the only thing that seems to not follow the guide by Shatter Box.

  • You won't see the ads on preview, you need to build your game and test it on the Cocoon developer app, you should test with the Admob test Ids too

    Thank you for your reply, !

    However, as you can see, it's not that I'm not seeing the ads, it's that there's an error when trying to launch the game, both on the PC and the APK. I tried running the APK that compiled following these directions and it hangs on the layout which is supposed to load the ad.

    Not sure if the plugin is not running correctly, if I haven't set things up properly... there are two AdMob plugins: one that is included ( said to be working with Intel XDK -which is deprecating its compiler in a couple of weeks) and the Cocoon Ads plugin, which is what I'm using for this example and which gives me the error above on the computer, and a hang on the phone.

    Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong?

    I'm using the test ads as per AdMob's suggestions, and I know they won't show until published to the Play Store.

  • Ok, I know there are guides out there, so don't kill me. Read me first <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> Maybe I made a mistake somewhere.

    I followed this: shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/c ... #cocoonads

    But I get this:

    imgbb.com image hosting

    It did say to install "Atomic Plugins" but... do I do that in the construct 2 side of things, or the Cocoon side of things?

    I have my IDs and everything, but I can't seem to get stuff to work. Everything else is so well documented in Construct 2, except for ad implementation.

    I can't seem to find up to date information on this.

    My product is almost ready to go, and I need to implement the ads before going further with it.

    I already have the google developer account and have been publishing to beta for about a week.

    Please help me? <3

    Thanks!

  • Hey guys,

    random question but I could use some help. I built 2 games so far but they wont go full screen when i test the apk on google developer console. If anyone has successfully published their games, how did you solve this problem???

    Hiya!

    I suggest you use Cocoon.io for that. Export as Cordova from C2, then upload to Cocoon (free for 1 project, I think). Been using that for a while and it works great. Some fiddling to be done but my game is now on Google Play as an open beta

  • Quick Reply to myself: It only happens if I use WebView. Using CocoonJS' Canvas+ it works just as expected.

  • Hello!

    First of all, thank you all for your help so far! My game making experience has never been this good. <3

    Now, my problem:

    I'm making a game exclusively for mobile devices (specifically Android first) and whenever people are playing the game and need to change screens, the game continues and continues to play music. I'm kinda alright with the game continuing as it's an endless runner and "turns" are quick, but the music bothers the hell out of everyone.

    Is there a way to make the layout, or at least the music, stop when the game is not on the screen?

    I tried looking through the manual and previous questions here but haven't been able to find the answer.

    Thanks!

    -Marcos.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • I don't think it will as efficient as your solution when running, 99Instances2Go, but it does save me a couple of days of work.

  • Well, actually... I think I solved it by the simple expedient of replacing the small block with a bigger "tilemap" and making sure it only draws in measurements that result in full blocks being shown. Gotta solve some creating issues with measures, but it does work!

  • 99Instances2Go, noted! Starting from scratch it is, then!

  • 99Instances2Go: Absolutely noted. You are an angel in the form of a meerkat. Thank you so much! I'll try to adapt this to my game.
