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.

Thanks for pointing that out. This type of leaderboard isn’t directly supported by the current leaderboard APIs yet, but I’ll forward your feedback to our team for review.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can create a Cloud Code script to handle it like a voting system -- the script can retrieve the player’s score and then post an additional “voted” score on behalf of that player.
