You're right, objects that didn't have indices as well as vertices caused a crash, fixed.

If you can send me a model that crashes when cloned I'll test it with the fix and see if was caused by the same bug.

Yes but a beta is a beta... testers should'nt expect
everything is ok in a beta...

AGK made a long road. They promise 3D at the end of 2012
and it's there. Ok there are some little adjusment to do
but essential is there.

Everybody can feel it.

And Bonus : Facebook interface is full of possibilities.

As could say Georges : "What else ?"

Good work AGK's team, good work.

Best Regards,
Brother

I am not english so xcuse my syntax, grammary or anything else wich could occure some ununderstanding

I have a small Request ... Could it be possible to have a GetCameraFOV command ? It's very important for camera particular functions (occlusion, visibility on screen etc..) and other things. Obviously it can be workarounded with a global variable but SetCameraFOV is a "system" command .. then ...

Another thing : GetObjectInScreen command doesn't work at all for me I know that the description of this command warns us about its approximation but...
That's why i need the GetObjectVisible to work for my custom "VisibleFromCamera" function (which use the Camera FOV, orientation and optionnaly the visibility of objects between the target object and camera).

Do you get the same errors when you link in Release mode?

And are you using the AGK\IDE\platform\windows\Lib\VS2010\Debug directory and not the AGK\IDE\platform\windows\Lib\Debug directory?

Thanks for your response Ancient Lady, I was secretly hoping you would be around

Same on release mode also, with a couple more I think:



I am linking to the vs2010 libs.

Not to worry too much, although I need 3D, what version would anyone recommend if I can't get this working?

Does work! but not good at all as if you turn 180 degrees so does it register it to be infront of the camera also

Started to fool around with textures in my editor and added a function to turn on and off alpha transparency.

But now do i get weird results with the grid that is a simple plain mesh i rotate

Noting seams to fix it as it is the center position used to get if it should be drawn on top or not.

confirm that the same bug declared by @Ched80, is present in 1.076 version.
I think, anyway, that the construct "IF condition THEN command" on the same line should be avoided because it leads to messy code.

Hey all. Trying to build the beta 8 in eclipse and getting errors as soon as both projects are imported. Same errors as with beta 6. It's the billing service that seems to be the issue. I've installed the addons as instructed (there are no "market" billing services so I assumed "google play" billing services was the new version), but eclipse says:

Description Resource Path Location Type
The method asBinder() of type IMarketBillingService.Stub must override a superclass method IMarketBillingService.java /AGK Player/gen/com/android/vending/billing line 32 Java Problem

Description Resource Path Location Type
The method asBinder() of type IMarketBillingService.Stub.Proxy must override a superclass method IMarketBillingService.java /AGK Player/gen/com/android/vending/billing line 76 Java Problem

Description Resource Path Location Type
The method sendBillingRequest(Bundle) of type IMarketBillingService.Stub.Proxy must override a superclass method IMarketBillingService.java /AGK Player/gen/com/android/vending/billing line 85 Java Problem

Any thoughts anyone?

Did you try looking at the various bits of information on the AGK Wiki Templates page for Android projects?

Specifically the bits after "Android Project and Product Name:" discuss various edits that need to be done in a few files so that everything works correctly.

And, make sure the following line is at the end of your project.properties file:
android.library.reference=../../apps/facebook

This assumes that you have all the right stuff in <androiddir>/AGK/IDE/apps and that "../../apps/facebook" is correct for wherever you have your android project.

I have been able to get things to compile and link, and the apk created by Eclipse for v1088. But I cannot get my Tier 2 apps to actually run, it has an issue with the display somehow. I did get the Player to run (but haven't tried any Tier 1 v1088 yet).

Pretty sure I have all the right files etc, and maybe found what's wrong - when I tried changing something and cleaning the project, it came up saying the library for this wasn't accessible or deleted, but the folder it was looking for was called "AGK player" and not "interpreter_android". Is that the problem?

Not sure if it's new or old, but I've just compiled my app into beta 8....and getfileexists doesn't do anything on android. Works fine through the player when broadcast, but fails totally on the device. Is this an android system limitation or something you guys can get around?

One point: the file I'm checking for isn't in the media folder, but a sub folder of this. I can load it fine, just not tell if it;s present.

Can you show the code you are using?

And, are you sure that the name you are checking for (both the sub-folder and actual file name) are the exact same as they are in the assets/media folder in your Android project?

Android is case sensitive and this only manifests when running on the actual device.

i can't find a command (in the docu) to get the Host IP ?

i think something like GetHostIP() / GetNetworkIP() is useful for display in a host game
and the client can connect over WAN/Web
with this JoinNetwork( szIP, port, szMyName )

You can get the IP address of a message sent using the GetNetworkMessageFromIP command.

For a Client to Client connection over the internet it could be very useful yes

You can use a workaround with an http connection on www.whatismyipaddress.com (or another one) and parsing the result but it's a dirty way :p

i have some trouble,crash with setmemblockbyte (beta8)

memID=CreateMemblockFromImage(img)
for offset=0 to getmemblocksize(memID)-1
v=255
setmemblockbyte(memID,offset,v)
next

@Ancient Lady
about GetIP i read that it can be used only with a Listener,
hmmm,i don't like this way but its a option.
edit: the Description of GetNetworkMessageFromIP tell me it don't
work with CreateNetworkMessage. i must know i get the message from local.
edit2: i try it with a test project but can't get my IP :-(


@MikeMax
i think AppGameKit can find a easy and clean way to get the local IP.

You might try SetTextDefaultFontImage with zero before deleting the image. I don't know if that works or not. It's just a guess.

because german umlauts or useful chars.

i use a generated bitmap font from 0-255 with subimages.txt
(the textfile for positions is very useful.)

SetTextDefaultFontImage(imgFont) //32-127
SetTextDefaultExtendedFontImage(imgFont) //128 to 255

if subimages.txt then SetTextDefaultFontImage(imgFont) //0-255 ???

The Language document page list the 'dim' command. It is on the document page for 'dim' that 'undim' is mentioned. (Rephrasing what I said the first time.)

As I recall, the undim command was an error--the help system was carried over from DBPro and that line about undim wasn't removed until one of the recent betas.

Right up front, please don't take this negatively.....but why is the undim such a big issue? I actually can't think of any examples ever where you'd be so desperate for memory that you'd feel the need to delete dimmed variables behind you. My project currently runs a single dim that is 101x200 in size, so that's more than 20'000 variables and it;s been beta tested on a wide range of phones/tablets and no memory issues ever presented (either AppGameKit or android itself seems to handle memory pretty well). Why do you need to undim???

As for screen fonts - it'd take about 2 hours to code your own screen font system and maybe about the same for a basic keyboard, and then you could put in any characters you wanted - have you thought about this? It'd also give you total control over everything in it. It's an idea. I for one do EVERYTHING using custom on-screen controls like this. Yes, it's a bit slower, but absolute compatibility should be ensured.

I'd like to finish with a heart felt thank you to Paul for his hard work...and especially the simplified time/date commands that I just fell upon this weekend. I'd had a pop at the complexity of getting the time in the past, and I was genuinely surprised that the comment was taken on board (although I'm confident I wasn't the reason they appeared). So...thanks Paul. Now then....any chance of FTP support anytime soon???

P.S. @ancientlady - I'm still messing with the fileexist commands, though I may have found the root problem that is something else entirely - the code was checking for certain sequential sound files and doing other things based on their presence or not - I took out the check and it still failed. Some testing I found the sound files (mp3) that worked perfectly when broadcast were loading, but apparently failing to play. I recoded them to the exact same settings and replaced the files and .... it's working again. I haven;t put back the iffileexsits commands yet, but I intent to try tonight. Odd that they played when broadcast and not when stored (other mp3's made to the exact same format, at the exact same time for the title music played fine). Anyway, not ignoring you, I will double, tripple check and come back (with apology if needed).

Anyone else having issues with drawline? On android beta 8 (not tested anything before this) setting any value at all for any of the RGB color settings appears to do nothing. Irrespective of what I put, I seem to get a grey line?

@baxslash

I'm just putting
for a black line, though I have tried 0,0,255 as the RGB for blue, and 255,0,0 for red - in all cases I get grey. I'm on Win 7 and my graphics card is a geforce 670gtx.

Although, I've tried out of interest on the android device, and it did come up blue ok (didn't try the other colors), so clearly a windows problem???

It works fine on Windows for me. It might be a gfx card problem. You could always use a sprite instead?

Even though all 3 of them ran the test 3D AppGameKit app that went round before the 1.8 beta introduced the 3d; when I went to test the current round of projects, only the Note managed to run all of them. The other 2 are fine with 2D, but as soon as a 3D scene is initialised the player closes with no error or anything.

I'm using 1.8 beta 8, and the beta 8 player linked by Ancient Lady a few posts up this thread.

Is anyone else having the same issues? or got 3D things working on the devices I have?
