Hi guys,

Recently, whenever I've needed new commands that AppGameKit doesn't have I've modified the interpreter to expand the command set.

Some of you might have seen some of my posts about the new commands I've added such as: interstitial ads, more sensors (in the Google Cardboard thread), or Google Play Game Services (in "The Bird Game" thread).

Anyways, I decided to put all of my changes together into a single mod for Tier 1 (BASIC) and release it here to the community.

Current Features:

Admob Interstitial Ads

Access To More Sensors
Gyroscope
Magnetometer
Light Sensor
Proximity Sensor
Rotation Vectors

Google Play Game Services
Sign In with Google+
Leaderboards
Achievements


Supported Platforms:

Android

Credits:

Easter Bunny for the source code to Automayte 2.1 (http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=210058&b=41)
Rick Vanner for Snake Snacker (modified and used as an example)


What the download contains:

A heavily altered version of Automayte 2.1 for one click APK building. The altered version of Automayte 2.1 will allow you to build an APK that uses this mod. It also addresses some of the building issues a select few people have been having with Automayte.

An example of Google Play Game Service in action in Rick Vanner's Snake Snacker game (You'll also find a built Snake_Snacker_Mod.APK in the folder).

An AppGameKit Player ("AGK_Player_Mod.apk") for use with this mod.

Documentation (Probably not the best documentation, but I tried!) which I HIGHLY ADVISE YOU READ.

A file called "AGK_Mod.agc" this contains the new commands for the mod, and must be included in your code (using #include "AGK_Mod.agc").

Download Link:

Note Before Downloading!
Also, be sure to run Automayte 2.1 as administrator.

Let me know if you have any issues.

This sounds great, cant wait to try this out in my wip when the time comes to add these features, especially the interstitial ads and the google play game services.

Much appreciated Hockeykid, keep up the good work.

errors with automayte windows 8 here

[EDIT] hmmm actually I get the same error on my windows 7 laptop as well.

Running both as administrator.

error is:

Unhandled exception occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Index was outside the bounds of the array.

I get this .net error (appears at launch, Windows 8.1):

It still appears to run normally if I hit continue though. I'll edit back later when I get around to testing the various features Looks like a dream come true so far

EDIT: Which appears to be the same error as FakeBlood

Thanks for trying it out. I'll look into the error and see if I can find out why it doesn't happen on my machine. I suspect it has something to do with Automayte's preset system. I'll get it fixed and post an update as soon as it's fixed. For now hitting "Continue" might work, however it might also cause other errors to come up.

This has to do with having spaces in the path name (the android-sdk doesn't like spaces). I discovered this issue a little while ago. I'll have a fix out soon, but if you need to build an APK right now, move the folder to directory that has no spaces and also change the folder name from "Automayte 2.1 (Mod)" to something like "Automayte" that way you won't have any spaces.

All seems well now
This is great. TGC should've had this done long ago...
if they could stay on one product instead of half doing 600 products and moving to another....

Maybe in the future you can look at some other aspects of GPGS such as the multiplayer, events, quests, saves, etc...

I'd be willing to donate for some of those additions!

I'll keep those in mind, I plan on supporting this mod beyond the initial command set that I have now. So any feature requests are welcome.

Any chance you can make the source for this available in the RAR so that folks can see how it's done?

Hello HockeyKid

Is there any way to turn on the command prompt messages during buiding of APK? Or is there a log somewhere?

There seems to be an error, and said 'Failed No messages' something like that, when I tried compiling into APK

Easterbunny's version allowed the command prompt messages to show. which guided me into finding out what went wrong during compile, which I found particularly useful.

Just got this set up for Sudoku In Space. I'll be testing it out over the next couple weeks to make sure I didn't mess anything up.
Great work on this, HockeyKid!

Paul REALLY needs to implement this and other Google Play Services features into v2. However, at least this provides an interesting method to do so. We do still need to be able to call certain things on command instead of right out of launch.

Sorry, I looked over your post earlier. I've attached a new APKBuilder.exe to this post that will allow you to see the command prompt output. If you are doing a release build, there will be several command prompts (one will appear at a time, if it finishes successfully, you need to X out the prompt to continue through the build process). If you have trouble with the error, post the output here and I can help figure it out.

I didn't manage build an .apk with Automayte
What I've done so far:
1. I installed Automayte from the link in the first post of Hockeykid
2. I installed the JDK and JRE in my PC (Win 7 pro)
3. I've set the JAVA_HOME variable to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_20
and included ALL possible Java folders in the system path

Quote: "
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_20
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_20
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7
"


When I run the Automayte I am getting a message from MS NET framework:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/ix5s0i1l4s7bz2f/NET_err.png

I continue as the following image shows:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/8121n4vi19drt4h/Build_err.png

After a few seconds I am getting the following message:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/w124aoaa5dob6pv/Build_msg.png

Any help please?

EDIT:
I removed any spaces from Java paths by using Progra~1 and Proga~2 instead for Program Files and Program Files (86) respectively
I have the same issue if I will install the Automayte from the second link too

Yiasou George,

Put all the Java etc stuff in a path WITHOUT spaces - for example c:\Java

Spaces are not Unix or Java friendly!

Thanks Hockeykid,
I don't have the NET warning but Automayte still fails.
Do you have any idea what I am missing?
I've installed the latest version Java (JDK & JRE). Do I need to install a specific version?

You shouldn't have to install anything, my version of Automayte should be handling all of that for you.

If you go to this post and download the file attached to it (Backup the original APKBuilder.exe and replace it. Located in C:\Automayte), you should get the command line output. When it fails post the information here and I can help you further.

Ah, that shouldn't be hard to fix. Go to "My Computer", right click on any white space and hit "Properties". In the window that pops up, you'll see off to the left "Advanced System Settings" click that. Another window will popup, click the "Advanced" tab and at the bottom you'll see "Environment Variables..." click that. In the window that pops up, under "System variables" you should see ANT_HOME. Click on it and hit delete. Next time you run Automayte it should auto create a new ANT_HOME variable for you (You might have to close and reopen twice).

Because I wanted to start from scratch I did the following:
1. I removed the Automayte and I made a new install
2. I replaced the the APKBuilder.exe file with this one with the console output
3. I ran the Automayte and voila! I had success!
4. Because I wanted to make a change to the orientation I tried again but the build failed. I tried again and again but I am always getting in last this message:

OK, I think I found what's wrong:
If I set the 'Portrait' mode then the builder fails.
If I set 'Landscape' or 'Both' the builder does not fail
Also I noticed that the APK Output location is better to be a non existing APK because otherwise the NET framework will rise an excpetion (even if I ran the Automayte as Administrator)
In any case many thanks Hockeykid for your valuable support

Hi Hockeykid

Just installed the new version of the automayte v101, to try with my app, and with one or two problems with spaces in folder names sorted and the ANT path name, i am now stuck on this error.

c:\Automayte\DATA\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\java.exe is not compatible with the version of windows you are running.

Could this be because the 64 bit version of the jdk1.7.0_02 is in the DATA folder and i am using 32 bit windows 7 on my machine?

Quote: " i am using 32 bit windows 7 on my machine?"


Yep, that could do it. Sorry, I didn't think about that. What you should be able to do is download a 32 bit version of the JDK and replace the files in the jdk1.7.0_02 with the files from the 32 bit version you download. Make sure you keep the "jdk1.7.0_02" folder name though!

Does this work with AppGameKit V2? It builds correctly, shows the splash screen and then crashes. Also crashes with no Splash Screen.

Only build process that works for me is the web based one.

Thanks!

Sorry, but no. AppGameKit V2 isn't complete, so new alphas are coming out all the time. It would be to hard to support.

Hi Hockeykid,

Is there any way to detect if the user gets the high score on a Google Play Leaderboard? I'd like to let them know when they beat the high score, but it doesn't look like they get any sort of notification at all.
