Yup!

Alright, Game and Profile INI functions for HTML5/Windows in Studio are now finished... All that's left is to program the buddy list and private chat functions, and I'll release the GMech API-Studio port! (I'm expecting about 5 more days at the most).

After that, there's still quite a bit to do (not in order of priority):
- Website redesign (with more functionality)
- MMO functions
- GMarket
- Some API stuff like a game update, in-game purchases, licensing, etc. to be ported to all versions of the API

When Studio will be able to handle extensions in Mac/iOS/Android, the API will be made ready for those as well.

Looking forward to this, lol. Especially the website redesign.

[lukeescude]

The GMechanism API-Studio release date may be pushed back a couple days. I hadn't thought of the fact that the buddy list depends on sockets, so I'm having to create an async system for the buddy list to communicate with any form of the buddy list, whether it's in 8.1-, Studio, or the application, so it's taking a bit of problem-solving.

Good news is I'm reducing the amount of work it'll take to create a buddy list by combining many aspects of it into a single GML script. Still, though, it'll be about 10 functions to create the buddy list, and you have to use your own graphics for it. (I'll include default graphics with the API release ZIP if you don't care about the buddylist matching your game graphics.)

EDIT: I've decided to scrap the buddy list in the Studio API... At least, until I can come up with better buddy list code. As it stands right now, the buddy list would be a mess of a task for developers. Basically this means the release date to the studio API will be within a couple days xD

UPDATES TO ALL API PORTS AND APPLICATION.

GM:Studio GMechanism API port released! Features everything in standard API minus buddylist and chatbox commands (they will be in the next release).

API Changes:
1. Better INI downloader

2. Checksums and extra securities to prevent hacking scores - REQUIRED UPDATE

Application:
1. Some bug and font fixes, don't trust the in-app changelog, I forgot to change it.

[lukeescude]

Hey everyone, if you've been having trouble with the D&D command for Prompt Sign Up, I've uploaded a fixed version for the 8.0 and 8.1 ports. This is not a necessary update for most people who use GML.

[Monstr Gaming]

Getting this error. Tried all steps you gave me before. Tried installing in various different folders. Tried redownloading file from website. What should I do?

You can sue luke, thats what you should do XD.

Did you tried cleaning all the cache with a program like CCleaner?

[lukeescude]

Monstr, download the install application from the website. Install it. Launch Gmechanism from Start -> Programs -> GMechanism. The old EXE we used to click on doens't work anymore since GMechanism is actually INSTALLED on your computer as a program.

I know that LOL. I kind of realized when a install window opened in GMech 2.7 :D
I downloaded 2.8 from website and installed that. I've clicked the shortcut, the one in desktop and gone into the C drive to do it. They've all brought the same error.

[lukeescude]

2.7 was still in Studio. Copy the full error text and post it here, please. Even if it's the same error, I need to see all the details.

I am getting the error highlighted in bold
I don't know what to do

[lukeescude]

That's weird, os_is_network_connected() is a Studio system function... Are you sure you're using an up-to-date copy of Studio? Not GMHtml5 or the cracked Studio version?

[Monstr Gaming]

I'm getting the error report thing and it won't let me copy the technical information.
This is the error signature

AppName: gmechanism.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: gmechanism.exe
ModVer: 1.0.0.0 Offset: 000907b3

This is the file it said it would include in the error report

C:\DOCUME~1\LOL_MO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\b4c9_appcompat.txt

Hope this helps.

EDIT: also this comes up when GMech is downloading resources

That's so weird :/ something on your computer is making the runner go nuts. Do you use a crappy antivirus software? Like Comodo or Malwarebytes?

[Monstr Gaming]

I'm using Norton 360

[Manuel777]

Having this using sockets for such simple server tasks like login in and registering is terribly dumb, you should really parse the whole thing to PHP and MySql, this will allow you to make it cross platform compatible on Studio and get rid of the necessity of extensions.. Actually, the only tasks that should require sockets are MMO communications, since you can even make chat rooms with php!


Not to be mean, just giving some constructive criticism!

[lukeescude]

@Manual777 - Already ahead of you The next update to the API is completely re-written with a PHP backend!

@monstr - :/ I dont know what the problem could be

[Manuel777]

Oh, and if you have a VPS (as I think you have) give CouchBase a shot, its a type of NoSql database structure that allows server replication, buckets, and more. Just set it up on a Ubuntu enviroment with enough RAM and it will be the definitive solution to all of your server speed issues!

Edit: MySQL is getting old by now, NoSQL Databases are the future! no kidding!

Edited by Manuel777, 03 August 2012 - 02:34 AM.

[lukeescude]

Oh thanks Manuel777! That's actually pretty awesome, I've never heard of it. I'll definitely check it out though, I may even switch to an Ubuntu VPS just for that (and it's a lot cheaper than a Windows box >.<)
