Hi @william - for now we'll stay focused on Visual Studio Code... but never say never!

Hi Vinicius,

You currently can't "run" scripts from the Code extension (I know - boo!).

For now the simplest is to keep a portal window up on the debug screen - and just switch and run the script from there upon save. Note that you don't need to load fresh script contents or anything - the servers automatically run the latest version - even if it's not currently what's showing in the Portal editor screen...

[Note - there are improvements to the Portal script editor coming in 5.9 - so that it's windows update more quickly and more reliably if the script has been edited elsewhere <-- exactly for this use case].

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.

Hi,

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

Posting a copy of the AWS service health page for posterity.

It mostly refers to the outage impacting DynamoDB - but a lot more services than that were impacted. We expect that just means that a lot of AWS services use DynamoDB under-the-covers to operate.

Our alerts have all clears (gone green) - and we now have access to StatusPage and Intercom again. It looks like things are back to normal <knock-on-wood>.

Be sure to double-check your apps - especially any recurring scheduled cloud code job - to ensure that they are still scheduled to run at the normal schedule... [delayed job processing appears to be one of the impacts of the outage - likely due to delayed AWS SQS (queue) processing].

If your app is still seeing issue - be sure to let us know via the Intercom support (which is working again)!

It looks like things are getting back to normal. Error levels are coming down - and we're seeing new hosted server launches again.

Hi folks,

An AWS outage in the us-east-1 region (which is the central brainCloud region) is currenty affecting brainCloud. More info here - https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

It most specifically seems to be affecting the ability of customers to download files - and launch new hosted servers.

It is also affecting our ability to log into Intercom, the chat service we use for support, and StatusPage - the service that we use to describe brainCloud health! (https://braincloud.statuspage.io/) (or else I would be posting this there!).

Anyway - AWS folks are on the issue - and hopefully things will be resolved soon!

Paul.

In both cases, the transactions should already be recorded. In your iTunes case, you might have purchased in a sandbox environment. You just need to enable Sandbox Transactions, and those transactions should then appear there.

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.
