I'm in the same boat. I signed up to AdMob only a few days ago, so I imagine I'm getting their new version. I was getting the demo ads appearing, but as soon as I put them on hold, nothing is connecting.

I've linked my AdMob account to MoPub, as well as putting in my ID number where requested... but sadly nothing. The game just runs now as if it wasn't going to use ads in the first place :(

I've had my app suspended from Google Play for 7 days, and then completely removed a few hours later due to using spam for my meta-tags. Thing is, I'm not using any meta-tags at all. I wonder if this is related to the adverts.

Yup, that's where I found it. The networks section... not the dashboard section. That's like saying you can post on the Construct 2 forum via the homepage.

The dashboard is an overview of all of your ads. No problem, as I found it, but I got myself a little confused.

In any case, as far as I can tell, it's all set up. I'm getting about 120 attempts at calling the ad, but 0 impressions. Is that unusual for a first timer? I have set all of my CPMs at 0.01.

viewportleft+((viewportright-viewportleft)/2) worked great! I'll use this for future games.

That is very interesting indeed. Very clever idea for huds for multiple screen sizes. All you'd need to do is run the function at the beginning, and you're set!

I am genuinely surprised. That actually worked. Not sure how...

However, it did break an awful lot of my game. One example is that I had an event that would delete anything that went off screen, so things would randomly disappear when they got too close to the edge.

Just testing out the viewport suggestion, then I'll give Colludium's a go :)

LittleStain - Just testing your solution first with parallax and unbounded... but I do not think that will work. While it's compiling through Ludei, I've given viewportright/2 a go, and it's put it in the centre... I just need to test that on my compiled APK and see if that worked.

Not sure you've experienced the same as me...

There is no centre if the screen size keeps changing. I need to do this at run time so that I can support a lot of screen sizes. With scale outer, it doesn't scale from the centre, it scales from an edge.

I could add it to a parallax layer, but if I don't know how many pixels the screens are different by, it's no use to me.

In this example, it could be anywhere between 100-200 pixels, but of course, there's no real way of knowing.

I'd have thought window width would be what I need... but it doesn't work at all, even in my C2 previews.

I am trying to load up a game on my mobile device. At the moment, I have a title screen that is in the centre of my layout, however, while it works fine on one mobile device, the other appears to be ever so slightly larger, and so when the game loads, the title is no longer in the centre.

Any idea how to go about this?

I tried setting the position based on the window size, but that doesn't appear to work at all. I only get a result if it's based on the layoutwidth/2, but that doesn't work when the game is on the bigger screen.

I should point out that I'm using CocoonJS... and it hates letterbox scale... for some daft reason. Who really uses Scale Outer?

That one? Doh... I thought that was only for Marketplace, and wouldn't affect my AdMob adverts...

For me, my ad source breakdown on the MoPub dashboard is empty... but I can see my game and my ads alongside it. Is it a good idea to just delete everything and start again?

:( I followed this tutorial, and I'm not getting any ads appearing. I did have ads appearing that were a demo, and in my cocoonjs Launcher debug I was seeing ads... but in my final version not even the space for them is appearing.

As far as I'm aware I've followed the tutorial, but some of it doesn't appear to match up. For example, I can't add my ID anywhere in the dashboard section of MoPub as far as I can tell.
