    Google play service plugin isn’t up to date. I think it needs 7.8 or lower. Use gaming plugin instead

    Make sure you have changed the number for all the plugins that need it - you may have missed one.

    I've tried 'Gaming' plugin instead (11.0.4), now player is exported and it works, thx!.

    Guys why doesn't Profiler print my results? I've tried to follow code of @SinisterSoft in the article about Rad operator vs math.rad function.
    In my console I just get:
    Number of tests:	10000000
    While I'm expecting something like that:
    Number of tests: 10000000
    keepInRange1 11.387515123518
    keepInRange2 9.3995061483975
    keepInRange3 9.056655447766
    I've created empty project, all I have in my 'main.lua':
    maxIterations@1000000
    local randomSeed,random=Core.randomSeed,Core.random
    randomSeed(1,1)
     
     
    function keepInRange1()
    	randomSeed(1,1); local tempStorage,tempNum=0,5
    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)
    		tempStorage=math.min(math.max(1, tempNum), 10)
    	end
    end
     
     
    function keepInRange2()
    	randomSeed(1,1); local tempStorage,tempNum=0,5
    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)
    		if tempNum < 1 then tempStorage=1
    		elseif tempNum > 10 then tempStorage=10
    		else tempStorage=tempNum end
    	end
    end
     
     
    function keepInRange3()
    	randomSeed(1,1); local tempStorage,tempNum=0,5
    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)
    		tempStorage=10><(1<>tempNum)
    	end
    end
     
    Core.profilerReset()
    Core.profilerStart()
    for loop=1,10 do
    	keepInRange1()
    	keepInRange2()
    	keepInRange3()
    end
    Core.profilerStop()
     
    -- print the results of the profiler
    result=Core.profilerReport()
    print("Number of tests:",maxIterations*10)
     
    for k,v in pairs(result) do
    	local found=false
     
    	for k2,v2 in pairs(v) do
    		if found and k2=="time" then print(v1,v2) end
    		if k2=="name" and string.sub(v2,1,4)=="test" then v1=v2 found=true end
    	end
    end

    This is because in @Sinistersoft example, the functions under test were called 'testXXX', and he filtered out non matching functions when showing the results. change "test" to "keep" in the last inner loop test

    P. S. It seems that we should avoid standard math library at all costs. It's almost 3x slower, although code may look cute, compared to other variants.
    tempStorage=math.min(math.max(minRange, tempNum), maxRange)
    Probably it would be good to add macro operators to replace slow math.sin/math.cos/math.sqrt? (or they can be replaced already?)

    Also in some Lua tutorials it is said that localizing math library is helpful, but it didn't make significant difference in this case (neither localizing math. inside function or loop (keepInRange4,keepInRange5), nor localizing it in the beginning of a 'main.lua' file)
    Number of tests:	10000000
    keepInRange1	10.318172679762
    keepInRange2	3.4653780657264
    keepInRange3	3.3482103390496
    keepInRange4	9.9247725611831
    keepInRange5	10.399366280858
    function keepInRange1()
    	randomSeed(1,1); local tempStorage,tempNum=0,5
    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)
    		tempStorage=math.min(math.max(1, tempNum), 10)
    	end
    end
     
     
    function keepInRange2()
    	randomSeed(1,1); local tempStorage,tempNum=0,5
    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)
    		if tempNum < 1 then tempStorage=1
    		elseif tempNum > 10 then tempStorage=10
    		else tempStorage=tempNum end
    	end
    end
     
     
    function keepInRange3()

    	for i=1,maxIterations do
    		tempNum=random(0,-100,100)

    I also updated my code - for some reason I used random number generator 1, when they actually start from 0. There isn't a selection yet so I don't think it matters. I re-ran and had the same results.

    Seems like your AdsAdmob.java file is corrupted around line 432. Just checked, it is fine here with 2018.6.3

    EDIT: Looking closer at the error log you have, you are using an outdated version of admob libs

    Specify a higher 'google service' version in the plugin's settings. @SinisterSoft will know better than me.

  • I use Google Play Services 12.0.1 with Admob on Android. I had to alter the Admob plugin slightly for it to work. See this (resolved) issue:

    https://github.com/gideros/gideros/issues/394

    I guess this will go out in the next Gideros version.

  • @SinisterSoft @hgy29 does Luasocket work for html5 exported apps? (if we need to connect to NoobHub server)

  • hgy29hgy29 Maintainer
    yes and no, it works in that the plugin is available, but you can't do UDP nor TCP in html5, so UDP is just not supported and TCP maps to websocket with luasocket. Basically forget luasocket for HTML5 except if you know your server is websocket capable.

    So instead of TCP-based Noobhub server we'll need some websocket-based server?
    (like this one? https://github.com/lance-gg/lance )

    Or there's built-in functionality in Facebook API for basic PVP multiplayer?

  • @oleg Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I've been on holiday for a few days.

    Google changed the location where the files for google play were grabbed from. You may have an old version of the gradle build file, look at this:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Gideros\Templates\AndroidStudio\Android Template\app

    You will see a build.gradle file, edit it (it's a text file) and it should have this section:
    repositories {
    	maven {
    		url "<a href="https://maven.google.com" rel="nofollow">https://maven.google.com</a>"
    	}
       flatDir {
           dirs 'libs'
       }
    }
    That says where the new repository is that google wants (in order to find 12.0.1, etc).

    If you don't have that then try downloading and installing 2018.6.3 again as I remember for a few hours there was a version available without that fix (it also showed as 2018.6.3).

    Be careful as there is also a build.gradle file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Gideros\Templates\AndroidStudio\Android Template so don't change that one.
