APIs

Hi,

Has your dockerhub team invited the "braincloudhost" user to your team with read-only privileges so that we can retrieve your custom image?

The email address of that account is paulw AT getbraincloud.com.

Hope that helps!

Paul.
[PS - Once you've done that - ping us here or in the support chat. We need to manually access the request these days <- Recent change to how dockerhub works.]

It's not. Just knowing a playerId is really not important as it's only a unique identifier for another player and nothing more than that.

We should point out that this doesn't mean that there aren't Unreal multiplayer examples in brainCloud - they just don't use the online subsystem paradigm per se.

Here's our latest Unreal dedicated server example: https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-roomserver-unreal

brainCloud supports a wide range of popular in-app purchases, including Google Play, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Steam, etc.. In most cases, the purchase process is initiated through the corresponding IAP plugin that you need to download into your Unity project. Then, verify the receipt received from the purchase outcome with brainCloud by calling VerifyPurchase API. It should be noted that the necessary configuration for the IAP store must be set up in the brainCloud portal for your app, including the products section and platforms section. Some store integration examples are available on our documentation website -- https://docs.braincloudservers.com/learn/portal-tutorials/store-integration-google/
Hope this helps!

Hi @francesco-lenolli ,

The ProductService has actually been deprecated.

You should use the AppStore service instead.

I hope that helps!

Paul.

Hi there- thanks for bringing this to our attention! A newer version of the Unity Package containing a fix for this has been uploaded. Available here: https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-csharp/releases/tag/5.4.1

For clarity, Firebase Cloud Messaging recommends creating a topic using Pub/Sub, though this approach is optional.

@wjurica Assuming you're using c#, consider Newtonsoft for the deserialization & mapping process. It's two lines of code to map your data to a class.

No problem! glad to hear that.

Okay - cool!

Sorry for the confusion, I was under the impression a publisher key gave you certain read-only permissions on a user given they own your game (this was silly in hindsight)

While the users in question had public profiles, their privacy settings for friends lists were set to private.

Thank you for your help! I now understand what you meant by "as long as users grant your app permission".

Apologies for the late reply, but thank you! This really clears up the flow for me. 🙂

The only thing regarding FindOrCreateLobby instead of CreateLobby is that the request to CreateLobby is deliberate. While I do intend to integrate FindOrCreateLobby as a "just throw me into a running game" option (which probably is the desired flow in most cases), I also want a player to be able to say "I want to start a game for my friends, and I also want to be the host and set the rules of the room".

I'm just clarifying that in case I'm misunderstanding the intent between the two calls, and that FindOrCreateLobby can indeed be used for either flow that I just described.

Hi @richard,

Hmm - yeah - I don't think that JSON is currently editable in the portal.

Paul.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll forward it to our team and get it fixed.

Hi,

Actually - voting leaderboards are implemented via the PostScoreToLeaderboardOnBehalfOf() call - where you can basically vote for someone else's score. [i.e. voting for that person].

Create the leaderboard as a "Cumulative" leaderboard - and basically the player votes for the score of another player - incrementing it by +1.

I suppose we should add those details to the roadmap item!

I hope that helps to clarify things!

Paul.

Ok, I found it. It wasn't a global setting, it was a filter on the reports. Thanks!

Hi,

I know we have some Apple IAP improvements coming in 5.9. I'll check on the details of that...

Paul.

Hi. Yes, unless an adhoc tournament is scheduled to start immediately after one finishes, there will always be a "wait" version (version with no tournament) in between scheduled adhoc tournament versions.
And when it comes to the retained versions, we skip counting the wait versions.
