Hi Lee, thanks for releasing the beta however I've hit a snag. I downloaded the AppGameKit1081-files.zip to my mac and extracted the files. In the IDE/common/include folder, it looks like a few headers are missing, namely the new ones. I also can't find a Collision/CollisionIncludes.h file. Are they in a separate location?

I can find the old ones, agk.h, cSprite.h etc.

Here are some of the ones I can't find:
"3DMath.h"
"AGKShader.h"
"cObject3D.h"
"cCamera.h"
"AGKLights.h"
"../Collision/CollisionIncludes.h"

Could someone else please verify if it's just me (just see if the files are there)?

Cheers

Works fine for me also. Perhaps it is the android OS you are using? I still have gingerbread (I think lol, it's 2.35 anyway)

Edit - Yeah, Rich Dersheimer is correct, use the compile run and broadcast option (F5). It may be you are just using the run button. I thought for a minute he meant in Eclipse

@DVader and BatVink - you can broadcast? I can broadcast a simple "hello world", but a spinning cube won't run, it returns Unknown Instruction 1073 on my iPad.

Did you compile a new player?

I wouldn't expect the 108 commands to work on the 107 player, and the 108 IDE files might not be complete in the beta. (see Hodgey's post above)

For example, this won't run on my iPad with Player 107:



And BTW, the F5 button (compile, run, broadcast) does not run the program locally for me, it just sits there broadcasting, with nothing being recieved by my iPad. I advised just using the compile button, then the run button. This does not broadcast, but you can still test locally. The compile and broadcast button works for me, but as I said, 108 commands don't work on the 107 player, for me.

@Rich: Get the same error "Unknown Instruction 1073" on my iPad3 too. Use the 107 player. Yes the compile, run, broadcast button, confused me too, that's why I was thinking that the broadcast is not working Also some of my sprites are not vissible anymore, in my old projects, because of changed sprite depth functionality

I hope an updated ZIP gets posted with the missing files so we can compile the player in iOS.

Question for LEE

Can i still use the VS and Xcode T2 templates from the last release or does 108 come with new updated templates?

I download v108 beta and discovered that new Tier 2 template guide and was not particularly impressed with it.

But I can see that it would work. But it only mentions Windows, Android, Mac and iOS. It begins to feel like the other platforms promoted on the AppGameKit site are being abandoned.

When I opened the project for interpreter_ios, it complained about missing two base SDKs: libGoogleAdMobAds.a and libOAuth.a.

I haven't looked at the projects for the Windows version yet. Before I do, I have a question.

Since I don't want to discard v1076 (which works fine for me), is it possible to install the v108 beta without uninstalling v1076 so that I can test them side by side?

Cheers,

@AL - that's exactly what I did. I just dropped the 108 beta folder into my The Game Creators folder, and I'm going back and forth between 107 and 108, no problem.

EDIT: and the notes for 108 indicate that Meego and Bada have been dropped... that just leaves Blackberry, and of course the HTML through FE.

Hi Thank you for your update!


-Feature request:


-Can you add a commandline parameter to build a source from e.g. agk.exe -projectsourse -platform?

In this way we can create our own IDE environment which can be very cool to create tools for AGK.

Space Dream, the change log for 1077/1081 does not mention any change to sprite depth functionality. What happened? Did they change it again?

The engine has been upgraded from OpenGL 1.4 to OpenGL 2.0 with shaders now running everything instead of the fixed function, so there may be some unexpected changes in there. I checked the depth range 0 to 10000 but unfortunately didn't test negative numbers, since they are technically not supported.

Slight problem with unpacking 108 on an old WinXP machine.

While attempting to unpack, several files seem to be password protected, including these three. I didn't write down the others, but they seemed to have similar filenames.

michaeljohnson.xcuserdatad

userinterfacestate.xcuserstate

workspacesettings.xcsettings

after skipping these files and attempting to run the 3D example, I receive this error...



No problems with the download unzip on my Vista machine.

It looks like condition variables are not compatible with Windows XP, I'll see if we can use something else in the next update.

Paul are the NFC, Geolocation, Compass, Gyrometer, Inclinometer, Light Sensor and Orientation Sensor commands active on Windows, or are they just place holders and do nothing for now?

Quote: "@DVader and BatVink - you can broadcast? "


Well, I am not broadcasting the application, but within my code I am broadcasting to other Windows machines, and they are talking happily to each other.

Regarding the Compile, Run and Broadcast. I have been working with Paul on some Touch fixes for Windows and he sent me a couple of new executables. These have the same problem that you have, even though the 108 base is fine for me. I have noticed something with the compiled exe, it always gets the Windows warning window before you run it, perhaps this is stopping it from running via the IDE. Paul may be looking at it further now he has a good/bad example to compare.

Quote: "negative depth numbers make sprites dissapear. And I have many of them in my current project"


Agreed, I have the same experience. I have increased my sprite depth values, luckily I don't have too many. I'm posting any useful information and workarounds (but not bugs!) here, I included the negative sprite depth to save people some pain

Quote: "Since I don't want to discard v1076 (which works fine for me), is it possible to install the v108 beta without uninstalling v1076"


Rename "AGK" to "AGK 1076"
Install
Rename both folders as necessary. I'm doing this regularly to iron out issues that have cropped up, and finding workarounds very quickly. You don't even have to close the IDE (in Tier 1).

The condition variable error is now fixed for the next version.

Quote: " returns Unknown Instruction 1073 on my iPad"


Unknown instruction errors are mostly likely due to an incompatible compiler and player version. You will need a 108 player for the iPad, which unfortunately we can't compile for end users.

Quote: "are the NFC, Geolocation, Compass, Gyrometer, Inclinometer, Light Sensor and Orientation Sensor commands active on Windows, or are they just place holders and do nothing for now?"


In Win32 they are just place holders for now. The are active in WinRT which is the new Windows 8 ARM version, which we haven't released yet.

Go to AGK\IDE\Compiler\interpreters
Right-click Windows.exe and go into properties.
Click the Unblock button.

It's all sounding very cool although I'm a little confused at the moment. I see someone else had a problem building an iOs player so I guess that'll be fixed soon or does someone else have the missing files or a solution to this. I've been unsure about the facebook commands and wonder if these are for iOs only or should they work in windows too as I've not had much luck. I've not played with the 3D commands yet but I will do soon. I'm wondering as obj is supported does this include mtl support for textures or do you have to load those all in by hand ?

I'm very much looking forward to the video commands too as it'll be really nice to be able to play FMV sequences but I guess these won't be interactive in the way they are in say microcosm, megarace.

Can't wait to get a fully working 108 and I do feel more confident and positive about AppGameKit now

Oh and dare I mention HTML 5?

If it's not broken don't keep trying to fix it.

Currently they are iOS only, Windows doesn't have a Facebook SDK and Android has raised some issues when using it with NDK.

Quote: "I'm wondering as obj is supported does this include mtl support for textures "


No mtl support, you will need to load the images into an ID and assign them to the object.

Quote: " it'll be really nice to be able to play FMV sequences but I guess these won't be interactive"


You have the ability to play/pause/stop the video in response to user touch events, tapping on the video will produce a pointer pressed event as normal.

Quote: "Oh and dare I mention HTML 5?"


Freedom Engine is an HTML 5 version of AppGameKit byte code from one will work in the other so there will probably be tighter integration between the two in the future.

Does that mean we can compile a 108 player from the xcode project in the 108 beta package? Or are some files still missing that will be required to compile a new 108 player?

Is the next beta update being held off until Android support is finished?

Also, any idea if this iOS bug was fixed?

Will there ever be an offline HTML5 version for AppGameKit or will export be solely reserved to FE users?

Another problem: If you use the wrong brackets like "()" instead of "[]" within a dim command like "global dim a(100) as..." it let crash the compiler without a real error message! In 107 the correct error message came up, in 108 beta not.

As Hodgey says, these are missing from the agkinterpreter.xcodeproj

2DMath.h
AGKLights.h
AGKShader.h
cCamera.h
cObject3D.h
sha1.h

libGoogleAdMobAds.a
libOAuth.a

Also, I don't see
../Collision/CollisionIncludes.h
but I might be looking in the wrong place?

Thanks Rich. I didn't see that thread.

Ok forget that.. didn't see the page 2!

In the help text there's a what's new in v108.

That lists all the new commands although some aren't implemented yet as far as I understand it.

If it's not broken don't keep trying to fix it.

Been playing with the beta and not hit any probs yet (using win vista (i know lol) home edition.
Although I am just going through the hands on AppGameKit book, the stuff I am doing is pretty simple.

Thanks for the replys about where to find the new commands everyone, but I was looking for a list of commands with out the need of downloading the beta since I don't have access to my computer at the moment. I assume the list Rich posted a link to is pretty acurate? What I'm most interested in is the basic 2d commands but it doesn't seem like they are included yet.

Quote: "are the NFC, Geolocation, Compass, Gyrometer, Inclinometer, Light Sensor and Orientation Sensor commands active on Windows, or are they just place holders and do nothing for now?"
Quote: "In Win32 they are just place holders for now. The are active in WinRT which is the new Windows 8 ARM version, which we haven't released yet."

Quick question on this.. Does this mean that these commands will only work for Windows 8 Apps or will they also work for desktop apps that run on Windows 8? Also will we have to develop (for tier 2) using VS2012 and is that available for Windows 7? Just wondering whether I'm going to try an enter this competition or not so any advise of these would be greatly appreciated.

Also I have the problem with the missing headers too. Hopefully that will be fixed soon in case I need to start work on something for Intel.
