@JasonL
I can confirm they are working despite a warning, in strict mode.
Thanks!

Amazing, especially Amazon In-Apps support

I downloaded the BrianCloud plug in for Unreal Engine, I can integrate user authentication, and real-time chat between connected players in a day.

Hi Bigzer,

We aren't aware of any issues running our javascript client lib under Edge - and haven't been able to repro your issue.

I'm not a javascript guy - but I'm noticing other warnings / errors there - do those also happen in Chrome?

Hi Madallin,

Just send a message into our Support Chat bubble and we'll delete the team for you.

Cheers!

Paul.

Hi,

This is easily doable in brainCloud.

Just go to Design | Custom Config | Files in the Design Portal - and use the Global Files (formerly S3 service) to download the files to your app.

Hope that helps!

Paul.

Hi Madalin,

Good question - but unfortunately you assessment is correct. We do not currently have a way (other than with the API Explorer) to via and/or send Chat messages via the Portal.

That said, we do have plans to implement a Chat Moderation portal. We're currently working on the scheduling of the work now - I expect it to start soon.

You'll find the item in our Roadmap here - https://portal.productboard.com/braincloud/1-braincloud-baas-roadmap/c/61-chat-moderation-portal?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share

Feel free to add your +1 to it!

Paul.

Hi Ali,

First of all - sorry for the slow response. I somehow missed this message.

The MultiSocialLeaderboard call is normally used to create Candy Crush-style maps - where you would normally show just the top player on each node of a map.

It's otherwise a pretty expensive call (as we're filtering/joining your friends list with multiple leaderboard lists) - so thus we restrict things to keep things fast and server utilization reasonable.

Do you have a use case that requires the larger leaderboard sizes - or maybe you were mistaking the intention of this call with another?

Anyway, hope that perspective helps!

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Claudiu,

It's possible to do this using cloud script... you just need to impersonate the other user...

Here's an example script that does this - caveat, it only returns the first page of user items.

Create the script, and set it's test parameters to:

{ "profileId": "www-xxx-yyy-zzzz-123456" }

(Note - you'll of course want to replace profileId with an id of a user that you want to test with.)

And here's the code...

var response = {}; // We need to impersonate another user to make this call var otherSession = bridge.getSessionForProfile( data.profileId ); var otherUserItemsProxy = bridge.getUserItemsServiceProxy( otherSession ); // Now, request the page of items from that proxy var context = { "pagination": { "rowsPerPage": 50, "pageNumber": 1 }, "searchCriteria": {}, "sortCriteria": { "createdAt": 1 } }; var includeDef = true; var itemResult = otherUserItemsProxy.getUserItemsPage( context, includeDef ); if (( itemResult.status == 200) && ( itemResult.data.results.count > 0 )) { response.items = itemResult.data.results.items; } else { response.items = []; } response;

For convenience I've attached an export of the script. You can import this script into your app from the Design | Cloud Code | Scripts screen.

Hope that helps!

Paul.

RetrieveAnotherUsersItems.ccjs

Hmm, I'm guessing that this is so that you as a developer have a warning that you may be mucking with an online user's data?

Sadly, unless the user is using RTT, the system doesn't deterministically know that a user is still online.

We do however know when the user last logged in - and that is shown on the User Summary page here (see capture).

You can further get an idea if a user is still online via the User Monitoring | Logs page...

Might be interesting to see if we could query the last session for the time of the last received request... though we'd need to somehow differentiate a real session from an API Explorer session... Hmm, some food for thought.

Hi,

One thing that you wont be able to do via api is managing users (list api), other than that almost everything is available with cloud script.

Hi,

This is very doable in brainCloud.

Check out the Tiers design note in this knowledge-base article:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

The maximum # of group members is controllable by our support team.

Just send a request to our support team, indicating the name and appId of the app, and what you'd like the max to be and why. (A short description of your use cases would be helpful - since we just need to review to see if we think there would be any performance gotchas).

We'll do a quick review and hopefully approve!

Cheers!

Paul.

This error has been since resolved.

A help article has been made on the groupType page: http://help.getbraincloud.com/en/articles/3272656-design-groups-group-types

If experience similar problems to this forum topic with our Unity library, ensure brainCloud has been added to a gameObject, and that gameObject is not disabled.

Just noticed this was never replied to!

To clarify - our new Users API was delivered in 4.3 late last year.

Cheers!

Paul.

@Paul-Winterhalder said in brainCloud 4.1 is officially released!:

Group Enhancements

Loving the summary data for groups. Made my life easier. Thank you, you guys rock!

Hi,

Unfortunately the answer is no on that one.

(For what it's worth, I'm not sure how we'd make that one work - since brainCloud allows you to link products across AppStores - not sure how we'd be able to establish those relationships in an import).

The good news is that brainCloud allows you to set up one list of products, with multiple price points, across all stores. And then, if you want to change prices (put things on sale, etc) - it's just a couple of quick clicks to do that across all the stores (the new prices would be instantly active).

So we recommend that devs initially configure both a "regular" and a "sale" price for all items.

There's definitely a bit of pain getting it initially configured - but it's well worth it in the long run.

Not the answer you were hoping for - but I hope it helps!

Paul.

Hmm, actually Eric, authentication only happens when called directly in brainCloud.

If you try calling an API and your app isn't authenticated, you'll receive an error - and generally would trigger authentication yourself as part of your error handling.

Does that make sense?

Paul.

Additionally!

Using a Pre-Hook, to the Post Score Cloud Code Script, to validate incoming data. Doing the actual JoinTournament / PostTournament Score via Cloud Code Script, once again verifying data. Lastly, validating the results of the Cloud Code Script via Post-Hook, allows developer's to confirm that the incoming data results in the expected outgoing data.

If at any point validation fails, tag the user as a Cheater! If users are going through enough trouble to try and cheat, they must enjoy the apps experience. Instead of blocking the Cheater from using the app, ensure all Cheaters are playing against each other, via a Cheater leaderboards or any other means. This way the apps experience to Cheaters is unchanged, and only cheating against cheaters, but most importantly the rest of the user base does not get negatively impacted via a few rare users.

Any other ideas? Interesting Applications for Cheaters?

Hi,

The call you're looking for is called UpdateUserName() - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-playerstate-updateusername

Good luck!

Paul.
