Follow-up on this...

My guys have looked into it, and the way we version our global files isn't compatible with this new feature from Unity. Apologies!

(PS - No plans yet for when/if we'll support it. Certainly tons of folks use an external CDN with brainCloud apps though - so the option is still there for you!)

Happy to help! 🙂

Paul.

Okay - cool!

@JasonL This is what I'm already doing, which is why I'm requesting a new feature, as it has the drawbacks listed above.

Looking at it again, I see you added time correction. I'll try it.

You are welcome. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah - perfect. Yeah - that sounds like a better option given the full requirements.

Glad you found it... and welcome to brainCloud!

D'oh - bit late on the update, but 4.1 has been released, and you can now search on isOpenGroup (as well as the new groupSummaryData).

4.1 Release notes here - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/release-4-1/

Cheers!

Awesome! Still a few things to clean up but I appear to be right back to testing within the editor, but against brainCloud's actual lobby system. The key was setting debug to true in the config.js and following the instructions at the end of the GitHub page. Thanks again!

Okay, I built it using the commented out part above.

Hi Panagiotis,

Thanks for the feedback!

That vertical icon bar on the far left is new in 5.2. It was key to allowing us to free up more space - moving the Debug + Log screens to their own pane. (i.e. now the screen is only ever split vertically in 2 - instead of sometimes split into 4 pains - 2 verticle and 2 horizontal).

The font scale and tab size options were there before too - but are somewhat more discoverable now that we have that cog wheel.

Glad you like the changes!

@Paul-Winterhalder Amazing! This is perfect for my needs-- thanks so much Paul.

I believe this worked @Steve-Jones -- thanks so much for the tip!

@kuabs Exactly. Always use braincloud server time for features that rely on time passed. Also, if you want to modify your recharge rate during gameplay, you might want to consider keeping it in a global entity instead so every user will be affected by it.

Update - we have patched this issue in our Public BaaS.

The API call is now blockable via API Blocking - but it's also disabled by default now (via the core API itself). There's a new compatibility flag (that is by default enabled for all existing apps) that preserves the old functionality.

Paul.

Well - there's no great way to tell until you try doing an operation.

You could try doing a simple ReadServerTime() call - and if that fails - the session isn't good anymore...

Hope that helps!

Paul.

Update 3 - okay - the networking optimization is back in place now.

(Though we haven't turned it on for the Portals yet - just want to ensure there aren't any issues first...)

Paul.

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

FYI - this feature was added in brainCloud 4.13 - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/release-4-13/

If your app uses Global Entities, don't forget to Export/Import the required entities from the Dev->Staging->Live apps. You can export all, or some via the Bulk Actions Menu within the Monitoring/Global Monitoring/ Global Entities page.

More about Global Entity File Export Formats are here, https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/api-modules/global-entity-file-formats/

Hope this helps!

I like the new forums. It was something I always felt was lacking and with the quick response time, they have already proven to be very useful. Hopefully this helps connect developers using brainCloud together as well as with the brainCloud team.
