BackendFreak, would you get a plugin that handles a spreadsheet (xls or xlsx), importing and exporting data from it to (Construct 2 or 3), and generating print report?

It would be for a job I have in mind ...

I'm adding this onto my TODO list, though I have quite a lot in queue at the moment so this won't be done in the near future I'm afraid. In a meantime you may want to check Rex's CSV related plugins.

<h3>What you buy here?</h3><div class="deshr"></div>

• Cocoon Ads Extra plugin for C2 & C3
• Capx with implementation example

<h3>What is Cocoon Ads Extra?</h3><div class="deshr"></div><p>It's an improved version of Cocoon Ads plugin which works both for C2 and C3. Please read the Features for more details.</p><h3>Features</h3><div class="deshr"></div>

• Compatible with C2 and with C3,
• Works with WebView, WebView+ and Canvas+ (please read "C3 Notes" section below for more details),
• Allows code minification on export (that was not possible with Cocoon plugins till now)
• Built-in Test mode as a plugin property (no need to set up AdMob for tests/development process),

<p> </p><h3>C3 Notes</h3><div class="deshr"></div><p>As mentioned before this plugin works with C3 and also with C3 Canvas+. However you must keep in mind that C3 is still in beta and even though this beta is currently pretty solid it still may give some unexpected results.</p><p>Right now both banners and interstitials works flawlessly with WebView and WebView+. However C3 app with Canvas+ gives me endless screen flickering. I can clearly see the banner and Interstitial are loaded and triggered so I know it works but the entire screen flickers. I believe this will be fixed in the near future yet for now it doesn't work as expected.</p><p>So a quick wrap up: </p>

• C2 works with WebView(+) and Canvas+ flawlessly,
• C3 works flawlessly with WebView(+) but Canvas+ gives flickering for now

Well that's just it, selling a template that uses the plug, but not including the addon is legal.

I don't think there's any verbiage in the agreement that talks about that.

It's a complication that needs to be figured out, especially if a lot more people start addon development, and sales.

I don't see any problem here TBH. If you as a seller make a template using paid plugin then you basically make it only for people who own this plugin and you have to clearly state it in the description. The plugin license is basically required.

Would be awesome if Scirra made dependency feature in Scirra store, that would just combine two items (template and the plugin) in the background, but I'm pretty sure it's the last thing they think of now.

Any Tax implications (uk)?

The amount from the report is after Scirra fee, Paypal fee and some UK tax. I'm not sure what tax is it but it's something that Scirra is obligated to pay IIRC. You are still obligated to pay the income tax in your country according to your local law.

Maybe you don't have to pay it if you're in UK as Scirra pays some UK tax there. I don't know as I'm not from UK, Tom will know more details I guess?

Yeah, but, what about people using paid third party plugs, and selling them as part of templates, or games?

Not sure how this refers to my post but still, if you notice such thing you should report to Scirra support ASAP. It's obviously not legal.

Hey Construct Community!

I'm a fulltime Construct 2/3 developer, that's what I do for a living. Last few months I focused on making C2 and C3 addons, some free and some paid.

Today I'd like to share my Scirra Store income with you and I have several reasons to do so.

First things first, let's see the report.

As you see on the report in August I've earned 234.74 GBP. That's obviously not an amount you can live from for the entire month but that's surely an amount that keeps me motivated to keep on providing new addons to Construct Community and support existing addons.

From this place I'd like to say big THANK YOU to everyone who supported me and bought my plugins so far.

I try to not be deaf for your needs and provide solutions to your problems. Therefore I made such plugins like MM_Unloader (unloads texture from memory on demand) or MM_Preloader (preload textutes/layout preloader) which were requested on the forum many times throughout several years.

It's really a good feeling to be rewarded for the hard work both with some extra $ and seeing that people solve their problems with my plugins.

If it happens that my income will keep on rising every month (as it does so far), then maybe I'll be able to focus fulltime on providing various addons, who knows! Would be awesome

Alright. Why I shared my income details here at all?

I'd like to call out all you talented JS developers out there to make awesome addons and fill the Scirra Store!

I trully believe that paid plugins can seriously benefit the entire Construct Community and here are my points:

• JS developer earn some money - It's absolutely fair to be rewarded for your knowledge and hard work
• Scirra earns a fee per sale - Fair again as they provide the store, the market, the tool, etc.
• JS devs are rewarded and so are motivated to support their products and make new ones
• C2/3 developers have tons of useful addons, which are supported by active JS developers
• Other JS devs follow and build more tools

The more paid plugins >>> the more serious JS devs >>> the more possibilities for C2/3 devs >>> the more serious C2/3 devs >>> the more good games released with C2/3 >>> the more fame to C2/3 >>> the more money for Scirra >>> the more everything for everyone.

Please note that I am not saying that free plugins are bad. I have released free plugins myself as well. All I'm saying is that if there would be some balance of free/paid plugins, it may have a serious positive impact to all of us.

Also please note that I am not encouraging JS devs to make their free plugins paid now. But I encourage them to think of "What plugin would I do if I get paid for that?", then make it and put to store. Let people reward you, let people make awesome games with your plugins.

I hope my income report will encourage JS devs to make some new great addons.

Thanks guys!

Every item in the store has the license tab where you can read the details, like here

Alright no problem. Thank you

Maybe you can help me with that

I am trying to stop the music when the reward video is showing.

So on reward video shown and sub-invent if global variable music was already on, stop all music that has tag "music". And restart when user close the video

Is that make sense?

I tried that but can get it. the music continue same time with the video content.

Thank you

Regards

Hmm sounds ok to me. Maybe instead of stopping on "On rewarded video shown", try to stop the audio just before calling "Show rewarded video", so that would be under "On Tap object" I believe. Also try with "Audio Set Silence" instead of stopping the audio.

It's hard to guess so you need to try several approaches.

Updated to version 1.2, added "ToString" expression.

TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds(timeString) - Converts the specified clock string to seconds.

Examples:

TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("01:03:30" ) -> 3810

TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("15:30") -> 930

TR_ClockParser.ToSeconds("30") -> 30

Hello

Thank you very much for your reply.

Can't we use this section to do something to cancel the reward if the user end the video before the end?

"This condition is triggered after the video ad is stopped by the user. "

Regards

Unfortunately for iOS this condition just does not trigger because of the invalid response from Ludei's library. I hope it will be fixed soon.

Hi marc254,

How to use this section

"This condition is triggered after the interstitial (the one that pops up after the video is completed) is clicked"

Do I have some events to add there?

This is the place which triggers once the user saw the entire video AND he clicked the AD. So if you want to reward him extra for clicking the ad, then this is the place. Please note that AFAIK encouraging users to click the AD is not allowed by Google policy. Still such condition is available, you can for instance show a "thank you" message here or whatever suits your app needs.

Secondly, can you guide me how to avoid giving reward if the user close the video before the end?

This is an issue of Ludei's AD library and occurs only on iOS. It's already reported to Ludei (Cocoon) and we're waiting for the fix. I'm sorry about that but I can't do much myself as the issue is not in my code.

Please note that this shouldn't be a crucial issue as the nature of rewarded video is that the user decided himself that he will watch the entire AD because he wants to be rewarded. So I'm pretty sure that cancelling a video happens in less than 1% of cases.

But yes this is a technical issue which has been reported to me already. I have reported it to Cocoon team. Now all we can do is wait. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
