  • Any news about Spriter plugin for C3?

  • rayray Hi. I had problems submitting scores a few weeks ago but it seems it was fixed by Microsoft. Getting Leaderboars, submitting scores and getting profile info works fine for me. I use Construct 3 and the latest Visual Studio Community with the Win10 UWP SDK.

    Did you install the Microsoft.Xbox.Live.SDK.WinRT.UWP package and assign it to the store entry?

    I have crashes on startup quite often but restarting the game 1-2 times usually is enough to fix it and the game did only crash when the construct loading icon with the progress bar is shown.

  • rayray No. Seems you need to close the game. Sign in with another profile and then start the game again.

    Using the profile selection most other games use would be nice. But I dont know if this is possible with a plugin update.

  • Hi! Did anyone already use the Xbox Live Leaderboards to make custom boards with multiple pages?

    It was very easy to add the Top10 highscores with GetLeaderboards and limit it to 10.

    But will it download all entries if I use the default value of 0 for number of entries for GetLeaderboard? Or do I still need to use a number like 10 (on screen at once) and use the LeaderboardTotalRows to determine the total amount of entries? Would be nice to see how you solved this since there are no examples how to use the plugin.

    Right now I have 10 entries on a page and want to switch pages with LB/RB. Do I need multiple GetLeaderboard actions for every page and use "Skip to rank" for each page?

    I also use the Flush action on start of layout on the highscore layout and then just "Wait 6 sec" before getting leaderboard data to get the latest numbers.

    Any better solutions for this? Or wait more/less?

  • Hi. I'm still trying to find the option in Visual Studio to keep local storage (and savegames?) when updating a uwp (win10/xbox) game.

    Did anyone find this already and can tell me where I can set it please?

  • Hi. The help states its not available immediately after sign in but you never know if it takes 1 or 10 seconds if internet is slow or anything. Is it possible to add a trigger for "Statistics Available" (or updated)? I use it to display the current highscore of a player on the menu layout and before submitting a highscore an event checks if NewHighscore > GetStatistic(Highscore) to only submit bigger values (does overwrite if lower?). But if the GetStatistic is not ready yet it could return nothing (0 for number?) and submit a lower score and maybe overwrite your higher score.

  • Hi. Just had this issue where I could only select 4 layers in the dropdown on the left but there were many more on the current layout.

    I think it happened when I cloned a text object on a global layer and tried to set it to a layer on the current layout. I tried to reproduce it in a new project for a bug report but I could not reproduce it yet. Did anyone else have this problem? I try to find a way to reproduce to post it as bug.

    Screenshot: left menu shows the 4 layers of the layout which has the original global layer on it.

  • Thank you very much.

    As another workaround I found a preloader sprite anim (circle filling up) just showing as an animated sprite. I want to use it for "Hold button for x Sec to approve".

    But I will need the other examples for other elements of my games.

  • Hi. Did anyone try the new interstitial ads from Pubcenter for Xbox (UWP) already and did it work?

    Any tips for a good implementation and how to use the actions?

    Like do you have to add a close add button or gamepad actions to close it. The plugin actions have no Close/Hide Interstitial action. Only one to hide normal banners. So you dont have to add a close button? But how do you close the ad on Xbox with a controller where you cant click on a close button? I assume the "Hide Ad" action works for interstitial as well even if its not noted in the description, right?

    Some examples would be very helpful.

  • Hi. Only tried my game (endless runner) and FoxyLand so far and could not see any improvements. Dont know if FoxyLand update causes the heavy stuttering or if its a Xbox One X problem but it runs very poorly now (was fine on my old Xbox). But it may be an issue with the last update.

    My endless runner (The very long walk) is still the same with some hickups and slowdowns. I hope this can be improved in the future for UWP games.

    PS: I got my highscores back but sometimes it just returns 0 (but leaderboard shows my correct value). :/

  • Hi. Do you still have your example Aphrodite and Noncentz705 ? The link above is broken.

    Or does anyone have a example for the effect in my last post on page 1?

  • Hi. Got my new Xbox One X and noticed something very strange.

    My leaderboard stats are all reset to 0 when I get them via Xbox live plugin and roaming values from windows store is not set anymore (on Xbox). Any idea why this happens or how to fix it? It’s the same Gamertag as before. 🤔
